FP-5 Flamingo

A Ukrainian long-range cruise missile built by the domestic manufacturer Fire Point, carrying a 1,150 kg warhead over a stated range exceeding 3,000 km. It has been used in a series of confirmed deep-strike missions against Russian defense-industrial targets since mid-2026, including a July 24 strike on the Avitek ejection-seat plant in Kirov, roughly 1,200 km inside Russia.

Overview

The FP-5 Flamingo is a long-range cruise missile developed by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, built around a 14-meter carbon-fiber airframe powered by an AI-25TL turbofan engine. It carries a 1,150 kg warhead, roughly three times the payload of Russia's own Kh-101 cruise missile, and is stated to have a maximum range exceeding 3,000 km, using satellite navigation and a low-altitude flight profile intended to limit radar detection. Fire Point co-owner and chief designer Denys Shtilerman has publicly confirmed the missile's involvement in a growing number of deep-strike missions against Russian defense-industrial targets, including a July 24, 2026 strike that hit the Avitek plant in Kirov (a subsidiary of Russia's Almaz-Antey conglomerate and the country's only serial manufacturer of ejection seats for fighter and attack aircraft) roughly 1,200 km inside Russian territory, well within the missile's stated maximum range. Fire Point has not publicly disclosed the missile's unit cost or full production rate.

Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.	950 km/h
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.	3,000 km Top 2% of missiles
Service ceiling Maximum operating altitude. Higher gives energy advantage and sensor horizon.	5,000 m

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Firepower specifications
Warhead Warhead mass. Heavier generally means larger effect radius, at the cost of range.	1,150 kg Top 4% of missiles
Guidance How the weapon finds its target: inertial, GPS/GLONASS, active/semi-active radar, infrared, laser, TV, wire.	Satellite navigation, Low-altitude flight profile to limit radar detection, Inertial navigation (backup)
