Fire Point is increasing production of the Ukrainian Flamingo missile. Currently, this figure reaches fifty units per month. This was stated by the company's service manager Iryna Terekh in an interview with Liga.net.

"In August, we produced 30 missiles per month, now we produce 50. I am not sure about the implementation of the plan by October (to increase production to 7 missiles per day - ed.), but it will definitely happen by the end of the year. This is already serial production, the only question is scaling up," she said.

Recall that this is a Ukrainian missile with a flight range of over 3,000 km. Its first photo was published by photographer Yefrem Lukatsky. Later, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal officially confirmed the production of Flamingo.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on August 21 that the Flamingo should be put into mass production in a few months. According to the head of state, the development has already been tested. However, he did not disclose any details about the missile.

At the same time, the Associated Press agency showed a report about the Ukrainian development. It said that by October, the production of the Flamingo is planned to be increased to seven units per day.
