Ukraine claims first combat use of domestically produced FP-7 ballistic missile

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on October 1 that Ukraine deployed its domestically produced FP-7 tactical ballistic missile in combat for the first time. The missile, developed by Fire Point, is described as a short-range weapon with a range of approximately 200 kilometers and a warhead of up to 150 kilograms. Some reports indicate Zelenskyy stated the missile struck targets in the Black Sea, a drone hub in Russia's Oryol region, an oil facility in the Samara region, and a supply depot in the Bryansk region, though other reports note he did not specify the location or target. The announcement included a video of the missile launch. The FP-7 is designed as a ballistic interceptor within the European missile defense program Freyja and is intended for targets at the front line and in the immediate rear such as headquarters and military infrastructure. Ukraine plans to continue production of the missile. The claims have not been independently verified.
