According to the BRB where the Missile Launcher is described as having Frag, Krak and the new Flakk ammunition (page 415 in the ITA version, Weapons summary) and also according to the latest SW FAQs where missile launchers aren't mentioned at all..

may we say, without any doubth at all, that Long Fangs could shoot FLAKK rockets at Flyers at NORMAL Balistic Skill?

I would say yes, look at pg 415. the weapon entry for missile lunchers has frag, krak and flakk rockets. unless there is something else in the rule book that states they cant use it.

No.
The ML in the rulebook states that MLs only come with Frag and Krak and that if you want to use the Flakk missiles you have to gain it as an option.
Currently no one has the option to purchase Flakk Missiles.

Excuse me Thanatos, where you find that sentence? May you give us the page?

It's in the space wolves codex... missile types are frag and krak. If they wanted them to have Flaak they would of put it in the FAQ

Page 57
You have to purchase the upgrade for Flakk missiles, they're not standard. If you're not given the option to upgrade (no one is currently) you can't buy them.

In fact I disagree.
The Correction introduction on the FAQs clearly states "don't worry: the weapons will functions IDENTICALLY, blah blah."
If I'm well understanding the FAQ introductions, where a weapon profile as changed without being CLEARLY described on the FAQ the BRB overwrite the Codex. As is alwais been.

[EDIT] However, now that I see the note at page 57 all is ok.

So, since that seems to be resolved for now, and this is about the 6th thread dealing with this... moving on.
