Given the recent news about Fire Point, the producer of the Flamingo, it is best to remain cautious about the missile’s prospects. Ukraine, however, retains other options, including the Hrim-2 SRBM/MRBM, the Korshun LACM, and the “Long Neptune” LACM, among others. 5/6

If and when Ukraine succeeds in acquiring a mass-producible heavy missile system, the intensity and destructiveness of its missile war can be expected to increase. That said, cost will become an increasingly constraining factor, making foreign financing more important. 6/6

Es ist entschieden politisch einfacher und wirtschaftlich effektiver die Rüstungsindustrie in der UKR finanziell zu unterstützen … als einige der wenigen eigenen Waffensysteme aus D nach UKR zu exportieren. Geld überweisen, ggf noch Einkaufquellen am Weltmarkt vermitteln… Wo ist das Problem?
