Ukraine Reveals First FP-7.x Anti-Ballistic Missile for Future European Shield

Ukrainian defense company Fire Point has publicly presented the FP-7.x anti-ballistic interceptor missile being developed for the future FREYJA air defense system, as Ukraine simultaneously advances efforts to build a joint European anti-ballistic missile shield.

The presentation comes as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits France to promote Ukraine’s Anti-Ballistic Program during meetings with European leaders, defense companies, and security officials.

Fire Point unveiled renderings of the FP-7.x interceptor and outlined its vision for FREYJA, describing the project as a “pan-European anti-ballistic shield under joint ownership.” The company also released a video showcasing the proposed missile concept.

The FP-7.x interceptor is intended to become one of the key elements of the FREYJA system. Earlier this year, Fire Point announced it had completed the first controlled flight test of the missile prototype.

At the time, the company said the interceptor was designed to reach speeds of up to 2,000 meters per second and disclosed plans to cooperate with Germany’s Diehl Defence on guidance technologies.

The announcement coincides with Ukraine’s broader diplomatic push to secure long-term European cooperation on missile defense.

During his visit to France on July 13, Zelenskyy said Ukraine would present its Anti-Ballistic Program at what he described as a first-of-its-kind meeting involving political leaders, national security advisers, and defense companies capable of contributing technology, financing, and industrial capacity to a future missile defense architecture. “Our top priority is anti-ballistic defense,” Zelenskyy said.

According to the Ukrainian president, discussions in France are expected to focus on expanding defense cooperation, with anti-ballistic protection at the center of the agenda. Zelenskyy is also scheduled to meet French President Emmanuel Macron and participate in a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
