Fire Point CEO claims FP-7 missile operates without Starlink

Bottom line

Fire Point CEO claims the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile can operate without Starlink using autonomous navigation, with first combat use targeting Iskander launchers.

Why it matters

Indicates Ukrainian efforts to reduce dependency on commercial satellite communications for critical strike assets, enhancing resilience against EW and satellite denial.

Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh claims the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile, with a 300km range, can operate without Starlink using autonomous navigation. She reports its first combat use this month to target Iskander launchers, noting it is cheaper than Patriot interceptors. This suggests a move towards more resilient guidance systems for Ukrainian long-range strikes.
