The United States does not appear to plan to provide Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles in the near future. Meanwhile, domestic production of “Flamingo” missiles seems to be progressing more slowly than the Defense Forces would like.
Whether Ukraine will be able to scale production of its “Flamingo” missiles, given that weapons production requires funding, was explained by Zelenskyy in an exclusive phone interview with TSN host Alla Mazur.
“There was a technological issue in the production of "Flamingo." There is a delay in funding from partners, which is being resolved,” the President said.
According to Zelenskyy, the state order will be fully completed by the end of the year. He assured that Ukraine has found its own resources to pay for production and will have a certain number of missiles, which will not be disclosed. Moreover, everyone is satisfied that the missiles already launched have worked, Zelenskyy’s words were relayed by Alla Mazur.
