The German defense company Diehl Defence is in talks with the Ukrainian arms manufacturer Fire Point regarding the possible joint production of “Flamingo” cruise missiles in Germany.
This was reported by Ukrinform, citing the Financial Times.
Helmut Rauch told reporters that they were currently discussing how they could work together and that he believed this could indeed happen.
According to him, the company will hold a series of meetings in the coming weeks with Fire Point—the manufacturer and developer of the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, which has a claimed range of over 3,000 kilometers. “Several meetings on this are scheduled for the next few weeks, and then we’ll see,” Rauch said.
He also noted that if a new product is developed, “it makes a lot of sense to manufacture it in Germany or other countries as well.”
