Its new FP-2 drone struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Tyumen region on June 20 — a target 1,286 miles from the Ukrainian border, Zelenskyy said — and the company says its rebuilt FP-1 now flies 1,677 miles up from 1,025 miles, while the FP-2 can carry a 440-pound warhead up to 230 miles away.
“The new modernized FP drones have been tested. Now they can reach targets at a distance of 3,000 kilometers. I am grateful to the Fire Point engineers,” Zelenskyy said in his June 20 evening address.
Zelenskyy said the next Fire Point drones will reach 1,864 miles, far enough to put refineries and arms plants in the Urals and western Siberia within range.
The FP-7.X is designed to hit a ballistic missile at 15 miles altitude for about $700,000 a shot — $300,000 under the original target — against roughly $3.8 million for a Patriot PAC-3. Fire Point aims to mass produce it at three a day starting in August.
Fire Point flight-tested the FP-7.X in early June, a “fully controlled maneuvering flight,” co-founder Iryna Terekh wrote on X alongside a video of the launch.
The balloon-born missile, DART, drops from a balloon at about 7 to 11 miles and runs on satellite guidance until it falls to about 4 miles, where its navigation cuts out and a solid-fuel engine carries it along a fixed course, according to its creators at the Ukrainian company Center of Innovative Technologies Program.
Its roughly 22-pound warhead scatters conductive graphite filaments designed to short out Russian power grids, according to Militarnyi, though it has not yet cleared Ukrainian military codification.
