For attacks on strategic objects of the Armed Forces use shock drones, the work of which is confirmed by real videos from the points of hit, said the military expert Vladislav Snegirev on the air of the TV channel "Espresso". The fact that Ukraine really has stated long -range missiles will confirm the similar fixing of the results of hits, which, in his words, are not. At the same time, the characteristics of the Flamingo rocket are dominated by Tomahawk missiles, which were spoken by policies.
Snegirev recalled that Tomahawk has a range of 1500 km and a fighting part of 500 kg, and Flamingo - a range of 3000 km and a combat part of 1000 kg. In view of this, he does not understand why wait for Western missiles, and there is a threat that restrictions on blows on targets in the Russian Federation.
"On the cholera, we need those tomavas, especially with permission, whether it is absence from the United States to beat the territory of the Russian Federation, if we have our own means of destruction," he said. The expert noted that according to the statement of the manufacturer, Ukraine can receive about 50 Flamingo missiles per month [Western analysts evaluate the production of Tomahawkiv at 90 a year-ed. ].
"50 rockets are more than enough to simply put the royal character of the attack on the auto -processing industry and break through the Russian air defense system, which is completely imperfect," - he sounded on the video. It should be noted that Focus wrote about Tomahawk missiles that Ukraine can get and Flamingo created by Fire Point.
US President Donald Trump has declared the possibility of providing Tomahawki, but before that, in his words, he should get acquainted with the goals for which the Armed Forces would like to beat. At the same time, analysts of the Institute of War Study noted that within the reach of one of the variants of the Western rocket - almost 2 thousand targets up to 2,500 km.
Developed in the 70's of the last century, the Tomahawk rocket was modified for 50 years and received such opportunities-range 900-2500 km (depending on the type of missiles), combat part 450 kg, length 6 m, base-surface, submarine, ground, ground, gap and two more. Meanwhile, Flamingo missiles became known in August 2025. It turned out that the body of the lesion is made of fiberglass for six hours, the weight of the rocket - 1 ton, the range - up to 3 thousand km.
Representatives of the Ukrainian authorities said that Flamingo was already beating for goals in the Russian Federation. Another product of the company is a long-range FP-1 drone, which hit the Grau arsenal in the Toropka of the Bryansk region and blew thousands of tons of shells and missiles of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
