Ukraine details FP-9 missile model, cites Moscow target

At a defense exhibition in Rzeszów, Poland, Ukraine showcased models of its new FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles. The FP-9, which is still in development, is claimed to have a range of 855 km with an 800 kg warhead, and Ukrainian officials have explicitly stated it will be used to strike Moscow. The missile's dimensions, estimated at over 10 meters long and about a meter in diameter, make it comparable to the Soviet R-17 'Elbrus' missile. The developer, FirePoint, is reportedly receiving assistance from European firms like MBDA for navigation systems, and the French company ArianeGroup's presence suggests potential support for the program.
