Ukraine will test the FP-7 ballistic missile in an attack on Russia in the near future - Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh
Kyiv • UNN
Fire Point has completed ground tests of the FP-7 ballistic missile with a range of up to 200 km and will test it in an attack on Russia in the near future.
In the near future, the FP-7 ballistic missile with a range of up to 200 km will be tested in a strike on Russian territory. This was stated by Irina Terekh, CEO and CTO of the Ukrainian developer company Fire Point, reports UNN.
Details
We have completed the on-the-ground testing (ground tests of the FP-7 — ed.) and are preparing for tests over enemy territory, and we are also working on an extended version of the FP-9 ballistic missile. I will not name the day, so that they do not hunt us down. This (testing the ballistic missile over enemy territory — ed.) will happen in the near future
She said that their developments had long been effectively helping the Armed Forces destroy the occupiers’ logistics.
In fact, we can boast that we have become so accustomed to these miracles that we no longer pay attention, although every night and every day, FP systems alone carry out from 5 to 20 different missions over enemy territory, and they have already become routine. Everyone has grown accustomed to it, but for me, the ability to repeat the same result every day is precisely an indicator of capability — it is a discipline that is much more impressive than showing one sample or ten samples and creating a wow effect
According to her, it is more important for Fire Point to prove its capability and increase it every day.
This is a rare talent and rare capability that very few companies and very few armies in the world can boast of
Additionally
Fire Point is working on two ballistic missiles. The company calls the FP-7, with a range of up to 200 km, a cheaper answer to the American ATACMS. The second, the FP-9, is designed to cover 800–850 kilometers — enough to reach Moscow. The company promises to launch the FP-9 by the end of the year.
Earlier, Irina Terekh said that the company was financing the ballistic program with its own money; the manufacturer had received not a single budget hryvnia for design work.
In addition to ballistic missiles, Fire Point produces the long-range FP-1 and FP-2 drones, as well as the FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile, capable of flying 3,000 kilometers. According to the company, it is these serial products that generate the money for the missile program.
