FP-7 missile
The FP-7 missile developed by Fire Point was unveiled in 2025, and in February 2026, footage emerged of a test launch of the missile from a ground-based platform.
The FP-7 is designed to strike ground targets at distances of up to 200 km. The missile can carry a warhead weighing up to 150 kg, while its stated accuracy is up to 14 meters. Its maximum speed is 1,500 m/s, and its flight altitude is up to 65 km.
In September, Fire Point announced that the FP-7 had entered military trials. According to the company's CEO, Iryna Terekh, the missile had, by that point, completed two preliminary stages of testing — ground and laboratory tests, as well as flight tests.
