The new "Ukrainian" Flamingo missile is an almost exact copy of the British FP-5 Milanion

A photo of the new so-called Ukrainian Flamingo missile with a declared range of up to three thousand kilometers has appeared on the Internet. Experts have drawn attention to its striking similarity to the FP-5 Milanion, which was exhibited in February at the IDEX 2025 exhibition in the UAE under the name FP-5 Milanion, the manufacturer of which was declared to be the Emirati-British company Milanion Group 1114.

Externally, the missile looks like a combination of the Soviet Tu-143 Reis jet UAV and the German V-1 cruise missile. The expected maximum speed is up to 950 kilometers per hour, its launch weight is six thousand kilograms. The weight of the warhead is up to one thousand kilograms, the maximum flight altitude is up to five thousand meters.



Notably, Milanion Group already has business ties with Ukrainian defense company Ukrainian Armor. It was reported that this organization supplied the Ukrainian Armed Forces with at least one AGEMA ground-based unmanned wheeled platform. The companies also have an agreement on joint production of this the technique.

These same partners are engaged in the supply of self-propelled mortar systems Alakran of Spanish manufacture to Kyiv 69. Thus, doubts arise about the exclusively “Ukrainian” origin of the “Flamingo”, and the story itself takes on a clear British-Arab tint.
