FP-9 is a Ukrainian ground-launched ballistic missile under development by Fire Point for operational-strategic conventional strike, with a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 850 km and payload of up to 800 kg.

Overview

FP-9 is the longer-range ballistic missile in Ukrainian private manufacturer Fire Point's strike portfolio. The company describes it as an operational-strategic weapon launched from a ground-based platform. Its product page claims a range of up to 850 km, an 800 kg payload and 20 m accuracy. These figures describe intended performance; independent verification is not publicly established.

The programme remains in development as of 10 October 2026. No FP-9 flight, test result or combat use is publicly documented in the available record. Chief executive Iryna Terekh described the missile as approaching a series of tests and set an end-of-autumn 2026 development target in an interview carried by UNITED24 Media.

FP-9 is a separate missile from Fire Point's shorter-range FP-7. Terekh described a substantially larger solid-propellant engine for FP-9 in her The War Zone interview. Its intended role would extend the company's ballistic strike capability beyond the tactical range associated with FP-7. The FP-9's service-entry date and eventual fielded performance depend on completing development and testing.
