🇺🇦 Former Deputy Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Serhiy Krivonos sharply criticized the ballistic missile development program of Fire Point LLC, FP-7, stating that its public demonstration does not match the real results given significant budget expenditures.
He notes that the company's entire activity is "profanation and a corrupt embezzlement scheme."
According to Krivonos, the launch of the FP-7 missile does not indicate the creation of a fully-fledged combat system.
He claims that similar tests have already been conducted repeatedly, yet no confirmed results of striking targets on Russian territory have been presented to the public.
At the same time, more than $2 billion has been allocated to the Fire Point program over the past two years. If such expenditures really did occur in the stated volume, a quite rational question arises: where is the result commensurate with the scale of the costs?
Krivonos simultaneously points to another problem.
Ukraine's defense industry, in his assessment, is trying to bet on a concept that no longer matches the pace of development of modern weapons.
While the Russian side is modernizing unmanned systems and expanding their capabilities, Kiev, according to the general, is trying to present a separate missile project as a potential "wonder weapon." Even the declared range of 250–300 km, he believes, is by itself incapable of changing the strategic balance.
