Ukrainian defense company Fire Point has tripled its investment in the construction of a solid rocket fuel production facility in Denmark, increasing the planned amount from €50 million to €150 million. At the same time, the company is completing testing of its FP-7 ballistic missile, which has a stated range of up to 300 km, and expects its first combat deployment by the end of September 2026.
Fire Point CEO and CTO Iryna Terekh announced the plans during a press conference at the DALO Industry Days exhibition in Herning, Denmark.
Fire Point initially planned to invest around €50 million in the construction of the plant. The project cost later increased to €150 million. According to Terekh, the building the company had originally intended to use for production did not meet the required specifications. As a result, Fire Point had to construct a new facility, increasing the project budget by approximately €100 million.
The new rocket fuel production plant is scheduled to become operational by the end of 2026. The company expects the launch of the facility to significantly increase missile output and support the further expansion of its missile production capabilities.
At the same time, Fire Point is completing the development and testing of the FP-7 ballistic missile. According to Terekh, the missile is currently undergoing final testing and certification, with its first combat deployment expected at the end of September 2026.
The FP-7 has a stated range of up to 300 km and is positioned by Fire Point as a lower-cost alternative to U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles. According to the company, the missile has already completed around 15 test launches.
Fire Point’s next project will be the longer-range FP-9 ballistic missile. The company states that the missile will have a range of 800–850 km and expects to conduct its first launch by the end of 2026.
“Russians understand only the language of force,” Terekh said, stressing that the development of Ukraine’s long-range weapons capabilities should strengthen the country’s position in potential negotiations. According to her, Ukraine is capable of delivering a “highly asymmetric response” to Russia while using significantly more limited resources.
At DALO Industry Days, Fire Point presented full-scale models of the FP-7 and FP-9 for the first time. The Ukrainian stand also features the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile and the FP-1 unmanned aerial vehicle.
Fire Point is already Ukraine’s largest manufacturer of long-range drones and, according to the company, is capable of producing up to 2,500 such systems per month. Production of Flamingo missiles currently stands at around 200 units per month, although the company expects to increase output following the launch of a new engine in October and the commissioning of its rocket fuel production facility in Denmark.
The cost of one Flamingo missile is estimated at approximately €600,000. Its stated range is around 3,000 km — almost twice that of the U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missile. It was previously reported that two Flamingo missiles struck a military plant in the Russian city of Cheboksary, located approximately 900 km from the Ukrainian border.
DALO Industry Days is being held in Herning on August 19–20. Around 600 companies are participating this year, including Ukrainian manufacturers of weapons and military equipment. For Fire Point, participation in the exhibition provides an opportunity to present its portfolio of long-range weapons and plans to expand missile production to European partners.
