Fire Point, the controversial Ukrainian defense firm famous for producing the Flamingo missile, released video footage on Feb. 27 of a new weapon: the FP-7 ballistic missile.
Denys Shtilierman, Fire Point's co-owner, shared video of the FP-7's successful test launch on social media.
"We welcome ballistic missile FP-7," he wrote.
The firm first announced the technical specifications of the FP-7 at the International Defense Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Poland in September 2025, according to the Ukrainian outlet Militarnyi.
The FP-7 tactical ballistic missile has a range of up to 200 kilometers (124 miles), a maximum speed of 1,500 meters per second, and a circular deviation of 14 meters, according to Fire Point. It carries a combat load of 150 kilograms (about 330 pounds) and boasts a maximum flight duration of 250 seconds.
The missile is launched from a ground platform and is designed to destroy targets at medium distances.
The video of the FP-7's missile test comes on the same day that Russia claimed its air defenses shot down a Flamingo missile — also known as Fire Point's FP-5 — during a nationwide aerial attack. Ukraine has not commented on the alleged missile strike.
Ukraine's Flamingo missile has only been used publicly on a handful of occasions since being first unveiled in summer last year. Recently, Ukraine deployed Flamingos in a successful attack on the Votkinsk missile factory in Russia's Udmurt Republic on Feb. 21.
Flamingo missiles are reported to have a range of up to 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) and carry a warhead weighing around 1,150 kilograms (2,535 pounds). The weapons have the potential to dramatically shift Ukraine's long-range strike capacity, although the extent of their accuracy and ability to evade Russia's air defenses remains unclear.
