Ukraine's Fire Point Offers FP-1 & FP-2 Drones to Pakistan

Ukraine's Fire Point is offering its FP-1 and FP-2 loitering munitions to Pakistan's private sector, opening a path to missile and drone co-production.

Ukraine offers co-production.

Ukraine’s Fire Point, an emergent defence contractor and manufacturer headquartered in Kyiv, is actively looking to collaborate with at least one private Pakistani company to exchange technology and products and, potentially, market to the Pakistani military.

Founded in 2022, Fire Point has become one of Ukraine’s leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for not only long-range loitering munitions, but also a growing family of guided surface-to-surface missiles (SSM), such as the FP-5 Flamingo, which repurposes the L-39’s AI-25TL turbofan engine to produce a range of 3,000 km and a stated unit cost of up to $600,000 – i.e., six times less than the Tomahawk. However, recently, Fire Point has also begun fielding tactical ballistic missiles, such as the FP-7 (derived from the S-300 and S-400’s 48N6) and forthcoming FP-9, providing ranges of 200 km and 855 km, respectively. Finally, Fire Point is also working on its own ballistic missile interceptor derived from the FP-7, called FP-7.x Freya.
