Firepoint CEO Iryna Terekh said that they do not plan to produce cruise missiles like the “Flamingo” anymore.
And overall the “Flamingo” is more of a political statement.
Those aren’t my words, they’re hers.
But let’s think. Purely theoretically, if Russia were carrying out an operation against Ukraine, how exactly would they do it?
1. Maybe they found people who had never worked in missile-making a day in their lives and created a missile-building company.
2. Maybe they found friends who did a great job lobbying for that company in the President’s Office.
3. Maybe then all the state contracts would be given to that company. Not KB Luch, not Pivdenmash, nor the other factories that have many years of successful experience.
4. Maybe everyone around would hear that, actually, this company’s missiles are a political statement. And where the real missiles are — well, that’s still not very clear.
Think about it.
