Diehl Defence wants to build Flamingo missiles with Ukraine
It turns out Diehl Defence thinks our home-grown Flamingo missiles are cool enough to put a 'Made in Germany' label on them.
The folks at Diehl Defence, the guys behind the IRIS-T systems that keep our skies from turning into a total mess, are now chatting with our own Fire Point. The goal? Maybe, just maybe, they want to team up to build Flamingo cruise missiles right inside Germany.
The CEO, Helmut Rauch (male), isn't just being polite. He specifically mentioned that Diehl can bring some serious upgrades to the table, like better targeting tech and decades of know-how. The Flamingo itself is a bit of a beast—it has a range over 3,000 km, which is enough to make certain neighbors very nervous about their remote factories.
This basically turns our 'field-tested' DIY project into a joint European industrial powerhouse. It is a weirdly perfect match: we have the combat-proven designs that actually hit targets, and they have the fancy German engineering to make them even deadlier.
Nothing says 'I am serious about my security' like outsourcing your weapons production to the Germans while using your own secret sauce for the flight path.
