Fire Point FP-7.X

Also known as
  • FP-7.X
  • Fire Point FP-7x
  • Freyja interceptor
  • Freya missile defense interceptor

Fire Point FP-7.X is a Ukrainian anti-ballistic interceptor missile being developed as the missile component of the Freyja/FREYJA air-defense project. Public reporting describes it as a composite missile derived from Fire Point's FP-7 ballistic-missile work, intended to engage ballistic missiles and drones with European radar, seeker, and command-system integration; as of July 2026, public evidence supports flight tests and planned production rather than documented combat intercepts.

Freyja System Context

FP-7.X is publicly described as an interceptor inside the Freyja missile-defense architecture rather than as a complete stand-alone air-defense battery. Fire Point's June 2026 announcement says the company is responsible for FP-7.x interceptor missiles, launchers, command systems, and system integration, while Hensoldt is tied to radar support for the project.

Missile role

Composite anti-ballistic interceptor for the Freyja/FREYJA project.

Supported by Ukrainska Pravda, Militarnyi, and Fire Point's Hensoldt announcement.

Integration status

Public reports describe successful tests and planned integration, not a completed operational battery.

Gwara Media reported that system integration and additional tests remained after the latest testing phase.

Evidence limit

No direct public source found for a combat intercept or deployed operational use as of 2026-07-02.

The record therefore keeps conflict-use rows empty.

Variants

Public sources treat FP-7.X as an interceptor development related to, but distinct from, Fire Point's FP-7 tactical ballistic missile.

Fire Point's official FP-7 page describes a ground-launched ballistic missile with a 150 kg payload, 200 km range, 14 m accuracy, 1,500 m/s maximum speed, 65 km flight altitude, and 250 second maximum flight time; the same page says the architecture can scale into air and missile defense systems.
