The Ukrainian company Fire Point began military trials of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile, marking an advanced phase in the country's missile program. The company expects to achieve the first operational use of the system by September 2026, at a development pace considered accelerated.
This advancement strongly contrasts with the situation of several European long-range missile programs, which still lack concrete operational capability and have progressed much more slowly. The comparison highlights the unusual speed of the Ukrainian program.
The announcement was made by Fire Point itself, the company responsible for developing the FP-7, which managed to significantly accelerate the project timeline given the security challenges Ukraine faces.
