(KYIV) –<\/span><\/strong> Ukrainian defence manufacturer Fire Point has conducted tests of the FP-7.X ballistic missile, a platform that will serve as the foundation for the FREYJA anti-ballistic interceptor system. The development aims to provide Ukraine with an independent capability to protect its skies from ballistic threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company’s technical director, Iryna Terekh, confirmed<\/a> the test in a statement, according to UNN.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The other day we conducted an extremely important test: a fully controlled manoeuvring flight of the FP-7.X missile, which will form the basis of the future FREYJA anti-ballistic interceptor. No matter how unrealistic and ambitious this goal may sound today, we are making every possible and impossible effort to ensure it becomes a reality as soon as possible and that Ukraine can close its own skies independently,” Terekh wrote on her Instagram page.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terekh offered a broader reflection on the relationship between industrial preparedness and national security. She stated that states lose wars on the battlefield much less often than they lose them in institutions, laboratories, and manufacturing plants ten years before the wars begin.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When a country underfunds engineering education for years, cuts research, loses manufacturing competencies, or becomes accustomed to relying on foreign technologies, it gradually accumulates a strategic deficit. It only becomes noticeable when a war begins. However, we must climb out of the ‘death pit,’ draw the right conclusions from our own past mistakes, and move forward, as well as take the initiative into our own hands without waiting for changes in state policies or funding,” Terekh noted.<\/span><\/p>\n

She added that every successful test of a new missile is a step toward Ukraine’s technological sovereignty, which is defined by whether Ukrainians are capable of creating critical technologies on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FREYJA project<\/a> represents a significant advancement in Ukraine’s efforts to build a domestic anti-ballistic shield.<\/span><\/p>\n
