The Ukrainian company Fire Point presented an updated line of strike drones and missile systems at the international arms exhibition Eurosatory-2026 in Paris, reports Rzeczpospolita on Friday, June 19.

The most attention from visitors was attracted by the upgraded version of the FP-1 drone - according to the developer, thanks to a new wing with an additional fuel tank, its range has increased from 1650 to 2700 km, and now this UAV is capable of reaching regions of Western Siberia in the Russian Federation. The presentation of the Fire Point drones was accompanied by footage of strikes on Russian targets, including recordings of recent mass drone attacks on Moscow and the region.

The exhibition also showcased the upgraded strike drone FP-2, which, after improvements, can deliver a warhead weighing up to 200 kg over a distance of up to 370 km, notes Rzeczpospolita, specifying that when using a standard warhead weighing 105 kg, the flight range of the FP-2 increases to 700 km. This UAV can carry up to eight unguided aerial missiles C-5 to hit unprotected targets en route to the main target.

Ukraine also presented missiles at the exhibition

In the heavy weapons segment at Eurosatory-2026, the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile was presented, developed by Milanion Group but manufactured by Fire Point. It was these missiles that struck a military factory in Cheboksary in Chuvashia on the night of June 10. The missile has a range of 3000 km, is about 13 m long, has a wingspan of 7 m, and weighs around 6 tons, a fifth of which is accounted for by the warhead. It is reported that the FP-5 Flamingo is intended for serial production.

"The exhibition featured models of two ballistic missiles. The FP-7 missile, created based on the anti-aircraft system, can deliver a warhead weighing 150 kg over a distance of up to 200 km. The heavier FP-9 has a range of up to 855 km and can carry a warhead weighing up to 800 kg. The claimed accuracy is about 20 meters," writes Rzeczpospolita. It is expected that the flight time of the FP-9 to the target will not exceed 520 seconds when launched at maximum range, quotes Deutsche Welle.
