- Description: CEPA's David Axe argues Europe should buy Ukraine's Fire Point FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, priced near USD 500,000 against a Tomahawk's over USD 2 million, to close its deep strike gap after Washington cancelled Typhon-Tomahawk deployment to Germany, rather than wait years for domestic missiles.
