Summary
About 15 test launches have pushed Fire Point’s FP-7 ballistic missile to the certification stage at Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, marking the latest step in Kyiv’s indigenous missile program.
The FP-7 has a stated range of up to 200 km—roughly comparable to ATACMS—and is intended to hit warehouses and troop concentrations beyond the front-line kill zone.
Fire Point is also developing the FP-9, an 855-km short-range ballistic missile that Ukrainian reporting says could reach Moscow.
For Ukraine, fielding domestic ballistic missiles would both strengthen its ability to strike Russian targets and place it among the relatively small group of countries with such technology.
