Ukraine is working to increase its production capabilities for turboprop-powered attack drones and missile weapons, according to Andrey Klintsevich, head of the Center for the Study of Military and Political Conflicts.

Speaking to Vesti, Klintsevich said Ukraine’s efforts extend beyond the Flamingo cruise missile to the development of long-range missile systems associated with Fire Point.

The Russian analyst said Ukraine’s attempts to expand its missile program are currently being hampered by Russian countermeasures and European bureaucratic procedures. In particular, administrative delays have prevented the rapid construction of a rocket fuel production facility in the Netherlands, limiting Ukraine’s ability to deploy these weapons.
