Ukraine Fires New Homemade Missile in Largest Attack on Moscow Yet
- On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukrainian forces deployed domestically developed long-range strike systems against strategic Russian targets, including a ballistic missile designated "Pelican."
- Fire Point has been advancing development of the FP-7 and longer-range FP-9 ballistic missile, with the FP-7 concluding operational testing in Poland for immediate combat deployment.
- While the FP-7 carries a 150-kilogram warhead at 1,500 meters per second, analyst Vasyl Pekhno noted its 350 kilometers range suggests it supported a coordinated strike rather than reaching Moscow directly.
- The attack struck the Gazprom Neft Moscow Oil Refinery, damaging the AVT-6 unit 15 kilometers from the Kremlin, while Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyov reported two civilians killed and six injured.
- Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin claimed Russian defenses intercepted more than 1,600 drones since Saturday, as military authorities noted the FP-9 remains reserved for deeper strikes beyond the FP-7's tactical range.
