Mike Pompeo advises Ukraine’s Fire Point on its Flamingo missile project, using Soviet parts and modern tech, amid crowdfunding and ongoing tests.
Mike Pompeo has joined as an adviser to Ukraine’s Fire Point, a defense company developing the Flamingo cruise missile using Soviet-era parts and modern tech.
The project, backed by a Czech group that raised $500,000 in two days through crowdfunding, includes a pink-painted missile symbolizing support.
Testing continues with launches targeting locations in Russia and Crimea, aiming to improve range, accuracy, and radar evasion.
The company faces scrutiny over contract practices and ownership, with Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies investigating potential irregularities.
Despite this, Fire Point says it is refining the system through ongoing training launches.
