What will give Ukraine the edge? Fiber-optic drones or long-range cruise missiles? | DW News

Ukraine has announced a potential major breakthrough in its weapons production program -- testing its own long-range cruise missile. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the missile can travel 3-thousand kilometers. Moscow lies less than 500 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. The weapon is known as 'Flamingo' because a factory error tinted prototypes pink. Zelenskyy says production could start in February. 00:00 Ukraine testing its own long-range cruise missiles 00:43 Marina Miron, military analyst at King’s College London on long-range cruise missiles 04:34 Ukraine’s fiber-optics drones race on the battlefield with Russia 09:17 Marina Miron, military analyst at King’s College London on fiber-optic drones #dronewarfare #cruisemissiles #russiaukrainewar For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
