Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh described the company's progress in developing long‑range missiles and drones during an interview that was interrupted when Russian ballistic missiles approached Kyiv on July 24, 2026. The firm aims to provide Ukraine with domestically produced strike capabilities that can reach deep inside Russian territory. Since the start of the full‑scale invasion, Ukraine has sought to replace imported weapons with indigenous systems, a effort complicated by limited production capacity and continuous Russian attacks on manufacturing sites. The FP‑1 and FP‑2 strike drones, introduced in 2023, have been used in attacks on targets deep inside Russia, including the Moscow oil refinery and naval vessels in the Sea of Azov. The FP‑1 has a range of about 3,400 km with a 60 kg warhead, while the FP‑2 reaches 700 km with a 200 kg payload. Both platforms can carry up to eight 57 mm S‑5 rockets, enabling standoff strikes against mobile air‑defense units. The Flamingo cruise missile, with a claimed range of 1,800 miles, originally used Ivchenko AI‑25 turbofan engines derived from the L‑39 Albatros trainer. Fire Point is developing a turbojet engine specifically for UAVs and plans to complete testing by the end of the year, after which mass production will begin. The company set a target of producing at least seven Flamingo missiles per day, or about 2,555 annually, but current output is lower because EU funding delays have reduced order volume. Terekh said production will be ramped up later in 2026 or early 2027 as contracts arrive. Mission planning is conducted by Ukrainian forces, while Fire Point provides navigation solutions that are resistant to jamming, spoofing and other electronic‑warfare tactics. After each strike the company conducts an after‑action review to assess software and planning performance. Development of the FP‑9 ballistic missile, intended to reach Moscow with an 850 km range, required building new solid‑fuel casting facilities in Ukraine and Denmark after the original Pavlograd plant was inaccessible. Engine casting is underway and the first test launches are expected soon, with operational status targeted for autumn. The FP‑7.x interceptor, designed to be cheaper than a Patriot PAC‑3 missile, will use imaging infrared seekers sourced from European partners, including Diehl Defense. The goal is to achieve a unit cost below one million euros and to produce at least 2,000 units per year once the seeker supply chain is stabilized. Fire Point is negotiating with Diehl Defense for seeker integration and is exploring collaborations with European defense firms to broaden industrial capacity. Export interest exists among several European nations, but the company is conducting careful end‑use verification before any sales. In addition to missile and drone production, Fire Point is working with a satellite manufacturer to develop an independent communications constellation for its UAVs, and it is pursuing autonomous flight capabilities to reduce reliance on external data links. The company says it will continue to provide software updates and logistical support as a service rather than a one‑time hardware sale, aiming to keep Ukrainian forces equipped throughout the conflict and beyond.
