Ukraine uses domestically produced FP-7 ballistic missile in combat

Bottom line

Zelensky contacted Fire Point developers to accelerate production of the FP-9 ballistic missile, claiming readiness by autumn 2026 with range to Moscow. This follows the use of the FP-7 ballistic missile in combat.

Why it matters

The acceleration of FP-9 production expands Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities, potentially allowing for more frequent and diverse attacks on Russian strategic targets, including Moscow, thereby increasing pressure on Russian industrial and command infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Zelensky contacted Fire Point developers to accelerate production of the FP-9 ballistic missile, claiming readiness by autumn 2026 with range to Moscow. This follows the confirmed use of the domestically produced FP-7 ballistic missile in combat. Russian MoD claims to hold 700 ballistic missiles in reserve and produces 130-140 monthly, indicating sustained industrial capacity for long-range strike campaigns. Ukraine’s tripled production of long-range strike drones aims to sustain economic warfare, with strikes disabling 51% of Russian oil refining capacity.
