Fire Point
Ukrainian long-range strike drone and missile maker (FP-7/FP-9 ballistic missiles), founded after the 2022 invasion; now over $1B in Ukrainian government contracts and named technical integrator of the pan-European Project FREYJA missile-defense initiative via its FP-7.x anti-ballistic interceptor variant.
Ukrainian long-range strike drone and missile maker (FP-7/FP-9 ballistic missiles, FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile), founded after the 2022 invasion; now over $1B in Ukrainian government contracts and named technical integrator of the pan-European Project FREYJA missile-defense initiative via its FP-7.x anti-ballistic interceptor variant. The AI-25 turbojet engine has been the chief production bottleneck for the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile; as of August 2026, some Flamingos are being fitted with British-made turbojet engines to ease that bottleneck and extend range, while Fire Point is separately developing its own proprietary turbojet engine for the Flamingo, targeting mass production in 2027.

Fire Point's FP-7 ballistic missile has completed approximately 15 test launches and is undergoing Ukrainian Defense Ministry certification; CEO Iryna Terekh expects the approval process to take another two to four weeks, putting FP-7 on track for combat use as early as fall 2026. Terekh: 'we are in the most intense and also in the most complicated stage of finally assembling everything together' -- 'trying to squeeze a program that usually takes 20 or 30 years into a matter of a couple of years.' Fire Point is separately preparing the FP-9, a larger, Moscow-range ballistic missile, expected to reach combat use by late autumn 2026.
