Ukraine’s Fire Point, Maker of Flamingo missile, Probed for Fraud | NABU

Updated on Aug 30, 2025 08:20 pm IST

Ukraine’s top drone and missile manufacturer, Fire Point—the maker of the “Flamingo” missile—is under investigation by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) for alleged fraud and political elite ties. Authorities are probing accusations that Fire Point inflated contract values and misrepresented drone deliveries to the Ukrainian military, as its revenues surged from $4 million to over $100 million, fueled by massive Western military funding. The firm, closely linked to President Zelensky’s former business partner, denies wrongdoing and blames political rivals for the scandal.
