Defense Express • • world
Key Points:
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the first combat use of the FP-7 ballistic missile, which was launched at a target in temporarily occupied territory, according to The Wall Street Journal.
- The success of the initial FP-7 strike remains unclear, and limited production capacity in Ukraine's defense industry may restrict large-scale manufacturing of the missile, suggesting its first use was largely symbolic.
- The FP-7 missile, developed rapidly during ongoing conflict, has a range of up to 200 km, a maximum speed of 1,500 m/s, a 150 kg payload, and a maximum flight time of 250 seconds.
- Fire Point, the developer of the FP-7, also created the FP-9 missile, which has a significantly longer range of up to 855 km, an 800 kg payload, and is intended for deep strikes behind enemy lines.
