At a security conference in Rzeszów, Poland, the defence company Fire Point publicly unveiled scale models of its FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles for the first time.

This was reported by Censor.NET, citing Ukrinform.

The event features an exhibition area where Polish, Ukrainian, and foreign companies are showcasing their technologies and solutions in the field of security and defence.

What is known about the FP-7

According to the company, the FP-7 is a ballistic missile of classic architecture, designed to engage enemy targets at medium ranges.

In terms of aerodynamic design and control principles, the FP-7 missile is a "clone", as the manufacturers themselves have stated, of the Soviet 48N6 missiles, which Russia currently uses in its S-400 air defence systems.

At the same time, the FP-7 differs in its guidance system and flight control equipment. It is also made from composite materials, which, according to Fire Point, reduces the missile’s weight and increases its range.

Key technical specifications of the FP-7 ballistic missile:

Range: up to 200 km
Flight altitude: 65 km
Warhead weight: up to 150 kg
Accuracy: 14 m
Speed: 4.4 Mach
Maximum flight time: 4.2 mins

More about the FP-9

The FP-9 is a future variant of the FP-7 missile designed to strike targets deep behind enemy lines. It is due to be certified in 2026 and is expected to have a flight range four times greater — over 800 km instead of 200 km.
