Russia's priorities are Ukrainian companies developing missile production - Zelenskyy

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy heard a report from the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Oleh Ivashchenko. It covered details regarding Russian missile production: facilities, distances, quantities, supply routes for critical components and machine tools, as well as individuals and companies from other countries helping Russia bypass sanctions. This was reported by UNN with reference to the Head of State's post on social media.

As Zelenskyy noted, Ukrainian companies demonstrating progress in the development of all types of missile technologies have been chosen as one of the key targets for further Russian strikes against Ukraine (military, political, and propaganda).

The Head of State also added that Ukraine's military intelligence has obtained new internal Russian political planning documents, specifically those concerning Ukraine's relations with Moldova, the states of the South Caucasus, the Middle East, and the Gulf.

"One of the key Russian political tasks is to limit our security, economic, and other strategic ties with the respective countries. We believe that by doing this, Russia only confirms that both we in Ukraine and our partners are moving on the right course toward greater security and the further development of our sovereignty, as well as the complete neutralization of Russian influence,"

Reminder

The Ukrainian company Fire Point is completing tests of the ballistic missile FP-9 and could strike Moscow as early as this autumn. The company's chief designer and co-owner, Denys Shtilerman, stated that the new missile has a trajectory that is difficult to intercept and is capable of penetrating Russian air defenses.

Fire Point claims that the key feature of the FP-9 is its flight trajectory. Unlike many classic missiles, it does not perform a so-called "pop-up" maneuver before hitting the target, which significantly reduces the chances of interception.

In fact, this refers to the concept of a massive air defense breakthrough through a simultaneous strike by a large number of missiles with powerful warheads. According to the designer, one missile will carry about 800 kg of combat payload. Fire Point believes that the massive use of ballistics is capable of shifting the balance of strikes between Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
