Ukraine Debuts FP-7 Ballistic Missile in Combat Amid Escalating Russian Strikes
Ukraine has conducted its first combat use of the domestically produced FP-7 tactical ballistic missile, a development announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on October 1. While the weapon has a limited range of approximately 200 kilometers, it represents a significant step in Kyiv’s effort to counter Russian ballistic missile attacks. This milestone occurs as Russian forces intensify strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure, including a school and a major bridge in Kyiv, and as Ukraine continues to target Russian oil refineries, exacerbating global fuel shortages.
