Quote: “By December we will have more of them. By late December or in January-February, mass production should begin. It depends on the success of testing and on funding for this programme.”

Details: Zelenskyy also said that tests of the Ukrainian missile have already taken place.

“This is so far the most successful missile we have. It flies 3,000 kilometres – that’s significant,” the president stressed.

Nevertheless, he noted that it is too early to disclose details about the missile until Ukraine can use Flamingos in large numbers.
