Zelenskyy Urges Fire Point to Accelerate FP-9 Missile Production for Autumn Deployment
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on October 3, 2026, that the domestically developed FP-9 ballistic missile will be ready this fall. The weapon, produced by Fire Point, has a range of 855 kilometers and can reach Moscow. Zelenskyy personally contacted the manufacturer to speed up production following the first combat use of the shorter-range FP-7 missile. Ukraine plans to intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries in response to Moscow’s attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
