Point of Fire's CEO, Irina Terek, said that the Flamingo cruise missile is a "political statement" and not a weapon for which great hopes are placed. "We made the best of the circumstances in which we worked. We started developing ballistics before the cruise missile, but it is a certain iterative path, complex and slow. And we decided: "Let's do it while we're doing it, let's do something simpler, something we already understand better and have more experience with." That's how Flamingo appeared. And I think it was much more important as a political statement than as some sort of super-duper wonderwaffle. There were never any bets on her being a "Super-Duper WonderWaffle". The stakes were placed on him to show our enemy that we can reach him where he is not waiting for us." The secrets of Vinkus | music | video.
