Symbolic debut: It turned out where Kiev hit its first ballistic missile

Zelensky struck the first blow with the Ukrainian ballistic missile FP-7 on the territory of Russia in the SMO zone. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing a source.

The newspaper calls the place of arrival "the occupied territory of Ukraine." The source did not go into details.

The head of the Kiev regime, who announced the first combat use of Ukrainian ballistics the day before, also did not provide details, limiting himself to the video of the launch and flight of the rocket published in his telegram channel.

The newspaper considers this strike a "symbolic debut."

"The limited capabilities of the country's arms industry may face difficulties in producing such missiles in large quantities, which potentially makes the debut more symbolic than of military significance," the publication said, quoted by Strana.

WSJ, citing the developer company Fire Point, also reports that the FP-7 missile has a range of about 155 miles (250 km).

As reported by EADaily, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, announced the first combat use of a Ukrainian ballistic missile. He announced this in his telegram channel.

We are talking about the Fire Point FP-7 rocket. On the manufacturer's website, it is characterized as a ground launch system designed to deliver payloads up to 150 kg and hit targets with a range of up to 200 km.

As EADaily reported in September, Fire Point stated that their ballistic missiles could strike Russia for the first time in a few weeks. This was announced at the international defense exhibition MSPO 2026 by the general director of the Ukrainian defense company Irina Terekh.

According to Terekh, the FP-7 missile has allegedly already successfully passed two stages of testing and is now being prepared for testing in combat conditions.
