Denis Shtilerman, the owner and chief designer of Fire Point, told journalist Dmitry Gordon that Ukraine could carry out its first ballistic missile strikes on Moscow as early as this fall.

Shtilerman said the new missile is now in the final stages of testing. Once those trials and test flights conclude, he said, strikes into Russian territory will begin. The military will choose the targets, but he expects the targets to be significant from the start.

Asked by Gordon when strikes on Moscow would begin, Shtilerman said: “This fall.” He added that a more precise timetable could not yet be given, since it depended on the results of engine testing.

Fire Point is one of the largest contractors for the Ukrainian military, producing the long-range strike drone FP-1 and the FP-5 “Flamingo” cruise missile. Ukrainian authorities have already reported carrying out isolated strikes on Russian territory using the “Flamingo.”
