Ukraine’s Ballistic Missile Ready for Combat by Fall

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the first combat deployment of a domestically produced Ukrainian ballistic missile could happen this fall. His comments align with the development timeline of the Ukrainian defense company Fire Point, whose FP7 strike missile has completed 15 test launches and is undergoing final certification by the Defense Ministry. However, Zelensky cautioned that mass deployment is not yet feasible due to the weapon’s reliance on imported components and funding.
