Ukraine’s Flamingo: Big Bird Goes Boom 1800 Miles Away
Ukraine's defense minister Denys Shmyhal proudly declared 'serial production of the missile' Flamingo has begun, which crazily carries a 1,000 kg warhead and can fly roughly 1,800 miles. This isn’t some backyard firework either—it’s rumored to threaten deep Russian production hubs in the Urals, around 1,000 miles distant. Featuring a 20-foot wingspan and sounding suspiciously like the Abu Dhabi FP-5 missile, the Flamingo weighs in at a chunky 6.6 tons—like a cruise missile having a midlife crisis and bulking up. According to Mirror of the Week, the missile's out partying on Russian soil already, setting targets on fire. Who ordered the long-range party favor? Ukraine did.

Ukraine just said, 'Hold my warhead,' with a Flamingo missile heavier than my will to exercise. 1,800 miles of boom? That’s less a bird and more a flying, heavy-metal nightmare on Russia’s doorstep.
If missiles had Tinder profiles, the Flamingo's bio would read: 1,000 kg warhead, 1,800 miles of drama, and yes, I do enjoy long flights crashing Russian parties.
Meanwhile, US Tomahawks are out here carrying less than half the warhead weight and probably hitting the gym for some revenge gains.
