Defense contractors unveil Blizzard drone as Ukraine upgrades Flamingo missile
BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin have revealed the Blizzard modular drone, while reports indicate Ukraine's Flamingo missile now uses British engines.
Western defense contractors BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin have revealed "Blizzard," a "modular, multi-mission uncrewed air system" designed to resemble a conventional cruise missile. Developed jointly by BAE’s FalconWorks and Lockheed’s Skunk Works divisions, the concept aims to offer flexible launch options.
Separately, analysis of recovered wreckage suggests that Ukraine’s Fire Point FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles are being fitted with British-made engines. Previous iterations of the missile utilized AI-25TL engines. The change was identified following examinations of debris from recent missile deployments.
