The Flamingo FP – 5 Ukraine Homemade Missile


How do you build a cruise missile with almost no money inside a makeshift factory Well, you build it like a scavenger. You strip parts from an old trainer jet and move the engine over. It's built to carry one of the biggest warheads possible, but that has a major downside: it becomes very heavy. So heavy, in fact, that you need a booster rocket just to get it off the ground But how does it compare to an American cruise missile, especially if it doesn't have modern terrain-mapping data. This is where it gets interesting. It goes old-school, using inertial guidance that cannot be jammed by radar. After it reaches the assigned coordinates, it then switches to a Soviet-era infrared tracker—the same guidance system used in the Neptune missile which can follow a heat source all the way to the target. It’s a different old School Missiles from a British and French made Storm Shadow and will the Russian Pantsir Anti air air defense system be able to track, and destroy this Ukrainian 'Flamingo Cruise Missile' all in the video ahead.
