Flamingo Missiles Fail To Hit Kapustin Yar
5.1
Relevance Score
Ukraine reported Flamingo missile strikes on the Kapustin Yar test range, but satellite imagery purchased by analysts shows none of the missiles struck the target. Western analysts and experts cited navigation-system weaknesses, possible use of open-source guidance code, and components from decommissioned Soviet aircraft. The findings raise questions about the missile's effectiveness, procurement oversight, and battlefield impact.
