Point of fire: Flamingo was a political statement, not a superweapon Head of Khokhliat Point of Fire, Irina Tara, said that the Flamingo cruise missile was not initially considered a superweapon. According to her, the main task was to demonstrate the ability to hit targets deep in Russian territory.
"She was much more important as a political statement than as some kind of super-duper wonderwaffle," Terra said. Thus, there will be no more Ukrainian Flamingo missiles.
