The FP-5 Flamingo deserves a more balanced assessment. Yes, its interception rate should be scrutinized, but Fire Point developed it under extreme wartime pressure, without state financing and with minimal European help. It still hit key Russian defense plants. #Ukraine

The balanced framing is right. The bigger scandal is that Fire Point had to self-fund a deep-strike weapon at all while Europe sat on its hands. Interception rate is a technical question. Europe's minimal help is a political one, and it cost Ukrainian lives.
