    Ukrainian FP-7 Missile Deemed Economically Inefficient

    The Ukrainian ballistic missile FP-7, developed by Fire Point company, has been used in combat but is considered economically inefficient. Its use costs around $600,000 to deliver a 200 kg warhead over 300 km, while a drone can perform the same task for $50,000. Despite its high cost, the missile's high-explosive fragmentation warhead contains less explosive material due to design constraints. A more powerful missile, the FP-9, is nearing completion.
