Ukraine developing Freyja ballistic-missile interceptor system (FP-7.X)

The article describes Ukraine’s emerging homegrown ballistic-missile defense effort centered on the new “Freyja” system built around Fire Point’s FP-7.X interceptor, including launcher, radar, and C2 designed to integrate with NATO-standard sensors and command posts. FP-7.X reportedly first flew in early June and uses a high-explosive fragmentation warhead (with possible later hit-to-kill variants), aiming for much lower per-shot cost than PAC-3 MSE. If fielded, it would provide Ukraine a domestically scalable antiballistic capability amid Patriot interceptor shortages.
