Ukraine’s Fire Point announces two ballistic missiles – at 200 and 850 kilometres range

Ukrainian company Fire Point, which created the FP-5 Flamingo missile, has announced the development of its own ballistic missiles FP-7 and FP-9, as well as air defence systems. Company representatives told Defender Media about this last week at the TFU forum in Lviv.

Among Fire Point’s handouts at the event was a brochure with the specifications of the upcoming products. Today, at the MSPO exhibition in Poland, the company officially confirmed the development of the FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles.

The FP-7 has a range of up to 200 km, a maximum speed of 1,500 m/s and a circular error of 14 metres. Its warhead weighs 150 kg, and the maximum flight duration is 250 seconds.The missile is launched from a ground platform and is designed for the operational destruction of targets at medium ranges.

The more powerful FP-9 has a range of up to 855 km, a speed of up to 2,200 m/s, a warhead weighing 800 kg and a flight altitude of up to 70 km. Its accuracy is stated to be 20 metres, making the FP-9 capable of striking targets deep in the rear.

It is also worth noting that in August news emerged of the Ukrainian long-range cruise missile Flamingo from Fire Point. It is capable of covering distances of up to 3,000 kilometres and has already struck enemy targets.
