But the fact that Ukraine has gotten this weapon from the development stage into combat is very significant.
M
7:28Mike BakerHOST
The FP-7 is built by the Ukrainian defense company Firepoint and has a reported range of roughly two hundred kilometers.
M

That's approximately a hundred and twenty-five miles.

The missile can also carry a warhead of around three hundred and thirty pounds.
M
7:42Mike BakerHOST
Firepoint has compared it to the American-made ATACMS missiles that Ukraine has received from the U.S., but says the Ukrainian weapon can be produced for roughly half the cost, and that's really where this becomes important.
M
7:54Mike BakerHOST
For years, Ukraine's ability to conduct precision missile strikes beyond the immediate front lines has depended heavily on weapons supplied by the U.S. and other Western countries.
M
8:04Mike BakerHOST
That means Kyiv has also been dependent on Western stockpiles, Western production capacities, and in some cases, political decisions about how those weapons can be used.

The FP-7 tactical ballistic missile is manufactured by Fire Point, a prominent Ukrainian defense enterprise that has rapidly expanded its research and production capabilities during the full-scale conflict.
S
1:06speaker_0NARRATOR
Fire Point is already widely known for producing the FP-1 long-range attack drone and the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, both of which have been utilized extensively in Ukraine's long-range strike campaign against Russian military and industrial infrastructure.
S
1:22speaker_0NARRATOR
Technical specifications published by the manufacturer indicate that the FP-7 possesses an effective strike range of up to two hundred and fifty kilometers, carrying a two hundred kilogram warhead designed to destroy fortified command structures, military staging areas, and air defense assets.
S

Additionally, developers have refined the missile's guidance systems to achieve a precision circular error probable of within fourteen meters, while simultaneously reducing manufacturing costs by thirty percent to enable sustainable large-scale production.
S
1:56speaker_0NARRATOR
Beyond its primary surface to surface tactical attack role, the FP-7 program is also being positioned as a key component of broader European security efforts.
S
2:07speaker_0NARRATOR
According to Fire Point, elements of the FP-7 system are currently being developed to serve as a ballistic interceptor within FREIA, a newly established multi-nation European missile defense initiative launched earlier this year.
S
2:22speaker_0NARRATOR
This dual capability highlights Ukraine's intent not only to establish independent deep strike options capable of hitting critical high-value military targets without relying exclusively on Western-supplied arms, but also to integrate its battle-tested technology directly into European defense architectures.

So, um, let's just stick to facts, right?

42:35Tucker CarlsonHOST
My last question is, if it's clear that Ukraine can't win because the numbers don't add up, as you said, and that's been obvious since the very first day, why is Zelensky accelerating the attacks on Russian targets within Russia, Russian energy infrastructure, refineries, civilians? W- what is his thinking? Why would he do that?

Since missiles require vast amounts of fuel, Firepoint is building a new solid rocket propellant plant in Denmark to supply fuel at scale.
G
5:08GerdesHOST
We don't think about that.
G
5:09GerdesHOST
We think about what's on the front end with the explosive charge, not how they're going to get there, but what it takes to feed a missile.
G
6:32GerdesHOST
More missiles needed, more fuel, so they're making more fuel.
G
