That is a big missile considering the engine is 3.5m long and 600m diameter.
Has it been used yet?
Cool that it's equipped with an attitude sensor...clearly the Ivans need their attitudes adjusted.

Looks amazing, try Inkscape. Free, vector graphics with layers, gradient etc etc. v good. inkscape.org works well with GIMP too.
Couldn't you do a pink nose 😁?
Nice, but shouldn’t it be pink?
I think they painted one pink
Which technology is the attitude sensor build on? :)

the little missile who could
🤨
Paint kills it again!!
Timely and great work.
Are you sure about the carbonfiber fuselage?
Generally, not the exact composition. So maybe better to say composite, but wanting to use accessible wording. The fuselage has the telltale crisscross texture, zoom in on this example
Wonderful Paint work, thanks! Although I'm no weapons technician, I'd almost say that the two production photos show riveting. Rivets would normally be used in sheet steel, while fiberglass would be glued, right? That pink thing (clearly a 45° structure) looks like a marketing gimmick to me.
I work in the industry, to use rivets is fast, and cheap, and give you strong enough connection. And when you assembly the parts the rivets gives you the right position of the part on the other. If you think the river not enough you still can add glue as well to make the bond stronger.
+if you connect 2 different material the best if you use some fastening such as rivets.
The upper part of the engine cowling is metal. Panels like the fairings are often bolted onto a frame
The 'production facility' is a rental warehouse photo op. There is no future for any weapon plant in Ukraine Underground workshops in Pavlograd for Sapsan ballistic tactical missiles hit US electronic plant also & now the Bayraktar factor in Kiev, when it had ripened to the point of inauguration

The proof of the pudding is in the painting.
The embattled narcofuhrers wunderwaffen, a doodlebug. History repeats.

A rebadged British-Emirati FP-5 from Milanion So too few to change anything, maybe useful for PR & provocation Large, slow & lacking advanced guidance for terrain mapping, etc. Pantsir-fodder, in all likelihood, judging by how quickly the Storm Shadows were profiled
Im waiting on 20 russian refineries to disapear in 1 evening
Here a little comparison I did some days ago comparing the range and warhead with Tomahawk and Taurus. In Sutton's article are a lot of additional information like max altitude, speed or length etc for the Flamingo 🦩 missle.
If true and mass produced and not too visible on the radars, it will help Ukraine greatly. RU Air defense is thinned out already greatly. Maybe slamming one into the Kerch bridge pillars could do as well a certain job ? There are terror Shaed/Geran production facilities within it's reach!
Can it stand on one leg?
I think we should use the name as a verb (ie “to flamingo this facility”) because it’ll cut the russians off at the knee.
Fantastic work, thank you.
Nice
Drawn by humans for humans lol … excellent work as always !
I’m completely amazed by your incredible MS Paint skills. Every time you post a cutaway image, I’m taken aback by the detail, then remember you’ve made it in Paint.
Why not try Inkscape all vector graphics with layers and gradient etc etc. and free!
There's an explanation video too. Really impressive work. bsky.app/profile/ande...
I am not convinced of this wunderwaffe talk.
You are the god of MS paint, you should ask for sponsorship. Well done.
I use old school MS Paint, without the antialiasing
I would have made it in inventor 1:1 scale, I know I know I'm crazy 😅
There's a lot of words and tralala about this missile. Reminds me a bit of the loooong wait for the new release of "Duke Nukem". Can't wait for the first coordinated strike
