Ukrainian defense contractor Fire Point displayed mockups of its FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles for the first time at a security conference in Poland’s Rzeszow, Ukrainian state news agency Ukrinform reported on April 27.

According to the company, the FP-7 is a conventionally designed ballistic missile meant to strike enemy targets at medium ranges. Fire Point described the missile’s aerodynamic layout and control principles as being a “clone” of the Soviet 48N6 missile used in Russia’s S-400 air-defense systems. At the same time, the FP-7 uses different guidance hardware and flight-control equipment. The company also said the missile is built from composite materials to reduce mass and extend range.

Fire Point said the missile is powered by a solid-fuel booster from a ground-based launcher and is guided by an inertial navigation system.

FP-9 is described as a planned longer-range modification of the FP-7. Fire Point said FP-9’s design will be finalized in 2026 and would have roughly four times the range of the FP-7.
