Already in the fall, — a Ukrainian Ground Forces officer forecast where Ukrainian ballistic missiles may strike first

The Ukrainian defense company Fire Point is finalizing work on the ballistic missile FP-9, with engine testing remaining. They announce the potential timing of its use against Russia — autumn 2026 of the year.

Military, journalist, and host Yehor Checherinda, on air of 24 Channel, noted that FP-9 is a fairly large long-range missile with a range of 855 kilometers and a warhead of 800 kilograms.

What objects will be targets for Ukrainian ballistic missiles

Domestic FP-9 missile, according to the Ukrainian military, can carry a warhead one and a half times heavier than Russia's Iskander and Kinzhals. He emphasized that this is a powerful weapon.

I hope that Ukrainian developers and weapon manufacturers will this autumn deal another blow to Moscow and not only to it, but to other cities in Russia, namely to military infrastructure and dual-use facilities,

— Checherinda stated.

Enemy refineries are going out of service, budget holes for Russia are widening

Checherinda noted that over the past month Ukrainian Defense Forces struck 26 Russian refineries. 18 of them could not fully recover (in particular the Kapotnyansky refinery in Moscow only a third operational), and 8 could not be started at all.

Overall losses are up to 45% of production of oil products at these 26 refineries. This is a huge blow to Russia. It led to the Russian government currently compensating oil companies for their losses from the budget. Financial Times already calculated that total losses of the treasury amounted to 1,2 trillion rubles — that is 15 billion dollars,

— Checherinda said.

The budget hole in Russia will reach 2026 by the end of 87 year, billions of dollars. The Ukrainian military officer expressed hope that damage to Russia’s deep rear with the appearance and use of Ukrainian ballistic weapons will become more intensive.

He reminded that co-founder and chief designer of Fire Point, Denys Shtilerman, earlier stated that this would happen this autumn, and added that there are no grounds not to believe him. So we should wait for the completion of testing of the new Ukrainian weapons model.
