Держави програють війни на полі бою значно рідше, ніж вони програють їх у інститутах, лабораторіях та на виробництві за десять років до їх початку.

Earlier, Fire Point co-founder Denys Shtilerman said that the missile is made of composite materials.
The company states that the FP-7.X is capable of reaching speeds between 1,500 and 2,000 meters per second. For comparison, the speed of Russia’s Iskander-M ballistic missile at the end of its boost phase is approximately 2,100 meters per second.
According to the published specifications, the missile is 7.25 meters long, has an outer diameter of 1.15 meters, and a fuselage diameter of 0.53 meters.
Fire Point says the FP-7.X missile will serve as the basis for the development of the advanced FREYJA missile defense system.
