A Ukrainian company unveiled its new FP-9 rocket
The Ukrainian company Fire Point has unveiled the design of its FP-9 ballistic missile, which will be showcased at the DALO Industry Days international arms exhibition in Denmark. During the event, the manufacturer will also showcase its other missile designs and the FP-1 long-range drone.
The images released by the company also show a smaller missile—presumably the FP-7 ballistic missile.
The FP-9 is a ballistic missile designed to carry a payload of up to 800 kg and strike targets at a range of up to 855 km. The FP-7 will have a smaller payload and shorter range—up to 150 kg and up to 200 km, respectively. According to Fire Point, the FP-7 has undergone approximately 15 test launches and is currently in the certification phase with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
In addition to these missiles, the company will showcase the FP-5 “Flamingo” ground-launched unmanned aerial system/cruise missile, as well as the FP-1 long-range strike drone, at the exhibition.
DALO Industry Days is an international defense exhibition in Scandinavia. This year, the event—which will take place on August 19–20—will bring together over 600 exhibitors and is expected to attract at least 12,000 participants, including representatives of the defense sectors from various countries.
DALO Industry Days was launched over 10 years ago by the Danish government as part of an effort to strengthen cooperation between the state and manufacturers.
A number of Ukrainian manufacturers will be represented at the exhibition, including DevDroid—a developer of a universal control system for ground-based robotic systems—Tencore LLC, a manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), GSCI—a manufacturer of night vision devices—and the Ukrainian OSINT company Molfar.
The DALO format provided Ukrainian manufacturers with direct B2B meetings, technical demonstrations, and coordination of next steps—ranging from interoperability and certification to joint development, production localization, and the launch of contracts based on the “Danish model,” under which Denmark directly funds the procurement of weapons from Ukrainian manufacturers.
This was reported by Fire Point.
A Ukrainian ballistic missile could strike the enemy for the first time as early as this fall—Zelenskyy.
