In the world of military advanced technologies, the company "Fire Point" stands out, which, even amid constant shelling, successfully produces the latest "Flamingo" cruise missiles in Ukraine. This weapon, dubbed "the black bird" by journalists, has an impressive range of up to 3,000 kilometers, putting it on par with the American "Tomahawk".
BBC journalists report that they visited the production facilities of the underground factories of "Fire Point," where all details are kept in strict secrecy. To ensure safety, the factories are dispersed throughout the country, helping to avoid enemy shelling. However, the Russian army has already struck two factories, as mentioned in the source.
The company's Chief Technical Officer, Iryna Terekh, an architect by profession, aims to help Ukraine combat Russia's military might. She emphasizes the importance of independence from foreign components, especially from the USA and China, as this will ensure production reliability and stability.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that more than 50% of the weapons used by Ukrainian troops on the front are currently produced domestically. During his speech, he highlighted the significance of the latest cruise missiles, which complement the country's arsenal of long-range weapons.
Iryna Terekh emphasizes, "The 'Flamingo' is not just a weapon but a symbol of our determination to fight and achieve independence. Its black coloration symbolizes determination in the struggle for freedom, as she states, the missile 'feeds on Russian oil'.
Ukraine continues to impress with the scale of production, allowing 60% of all long-range strikes on enemy targets, with great economic efficiency, highlights Chief Designer Denys Stihlerman. The Russian economy has already suffered losses of over $21.5 billion due to Ukrainian attacks.
