Denys Shtilierman, chief designer at Ukrainian defense firm Fire Point, published video footage showing test launches of the company’s new FP-7 ballistic missile on Feb. 27.

The FP-7 is a conventionally designed ballistic missile intended to strike enemy targets at medium ranges. By aerodynamic layout and control principles, Fire Point said, the FP-7 is a “clone” of the Soviet 48N6 missile used in Russia’s S-400 air-defense systems, though it uses different guidance and flight-control hardware.

Fire Point said the missile is made from composite materials, which the company says reduce weight and increase range. Key specifications provided by the company include:

  • Range: up to 200 kilometers (about 124 miles)
  • Ceiling: 65 kilometers (about 40 miles)
  • Warhead: up to 150 kilograms (about 331 pounds)
  • Circular error probable: 14 meters (about 46 feet)
  • Top speed: Mach 4.4
  • Maximum flight time: about 4.2 minutes.

The missile is boosted by a solid-fuel engine and is surface-launched, a configuration Fire Point says allows adaptation to different mission requirements. It uses an inertial navigation system, the company added.

Fire Point announced development of the FP-7 and a related FP-9 in early September 2025 at a trade show in Poland. In November, the company said it planned to complete ballistic missile testing in the first half of 2026.
