L’Ucraina potrebbe avere una nuova strategia di attacco in profondità con i missili Flamingo all’interno della Russia, dicono gli esperti

So… from what I’ve been able to gather about the Flamingo, it’s big, fast, has a big ‘ol warhead. It is also not very accurate and susceptible to jamming and other counter measures. So Ukraine hasn’t been using it much because of the accuracy problems. Currently Ukraine has much more accurate long range strike missiles/drones but they don’t have very large warheads. Small attack drones don’t do much to a factory. The best hope is you start a fire that can’t be contained. So they don’t hit manufacturing facilities often.

*BUT* factories are big. Accuracy doesn’t matter as much. And if you’re dropping 1000 kilo warheads you don’t need to be that accurate either. Pump 5-6 missiles into a factory and you’re going to do a lot of damage. So I think that’s Flamingos role. Industry killer.

There was an episode of Ukraine the latest (telegraph podcast) explaining this, the CPA (closest point of approach) is not great on the Flamingo, but it will get better i suspect. It’s cheap has a big payload and most importantly Ukraine doesn’t rely on its allies to provide them with it. Quite incredible what Ukraine has produced in 4 years of Ork invasion.
