   Ukraine's FP-7 Ballistic Missile Nears Battlefield Debut

   Ukraine is preparing to deploy the FP-7 ballistic missile within weeks, according to Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh. The weapon has entered military trials and is designed to bring Moscow within striking range. Fire Point weapons already play a major role in Ukraine's offensive strategy, accounting for approximately 60% of strikes against Russia in 2026. The company is also expanding its capabilities through the Freyja anti-ballistic missile program, which is currently recruiting specialists.

   Why it matters

   Domestic missile production reduces Ukraine's reliance on foreign suppliers and allows for strikes deeper into Russian territory. The FP-7 follows the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, which features a 3,000 kilometer range and a warhead larger than the American Tomahawk.

   What is confirmed

   • Fire Point weapons accounted for about 60% of Ukraine's strikes against Russia in 2026.
   • The FP-7 ballistic missile has begun military trials.
   • Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh states the FP-7 will strike Russia in a few weeks.

   Still unconfirmed

   • The FP-7 ballistic missile will put Moscow in reach.

   What to watch next

   • Confirmation of the first combat use of the FP-7
   • Recruitment results for the Freyja anti-ballistic missile program
