Ukraine developing FP-7.x interceptor for domestic anti-ballistic shield

The article notes Ukraine’s Fire Point is developing an “anti-ballistic shield” centered on its FP-7.x interceptor missile, with tests demonstrated in February 2026. The novelty is a domestically designed interceptor concept that depends on integrating radars, command centers, secure datalinks, and a (European) seeker into a functioning missile-defense network—an attempt to create an indigenous ballistic-missile defense capability amid Patriot interceptor shortages.
