Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the successful use of the Neptune and Flamingo missiles in a pair. He made this statement during a conversation with journalists, Ukrinform reports.
"Last week - I won't say how many - our Neptune and Flamingo pair was used. You can analyze the corresponding results yourself. We are not saying that this is a massive use of this pair. We are simply saying that there is use, and there are the first tangible results of this particular weapon of ours," he said.
Speaking about retaliatory strikes deep into the aggressor's territory, the head of state noted that there is also a positive aspect to this issue.
"Palyanytsia" has already begun to hit enemy military formations in dozens of cases. This is positive, because we had different moments, now we are (talking – ed.) not about isolated cases. The second positive: "Ruta", our drone missile, for the first time hit a 250-kilometer+ naval tower. The greatest success – "Lyuty", Fire Point – was the mass use of up to 300 pieces, and this is a serious operation. We understand that Ust-Luga, Primorsk are achievable. What happened is really, in my opinion, a great success," Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted.
Recall that the Ukrainian Flamingo missile with a range of over 3,000 km became known in the summer of 2025. It is manufactured by the Fire Point company . The first photo of the weapon was published by photographer Yefrem Lukatsky. Then the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal officially confirmed the production of Flamingo.
At the same time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on August 21 that the Flamingo should be launched into mass production in a few months. The president then stated that the development had already been tested. But he did not disclose details about the missile.
In September, Fire Point service station Iryna Terek reported that the company was increasing production of the Ukrainian Flamingo missile. By then, the figure had already reached 50 units per month, compared to 30 units in August.
