Since the beginning of the war, Ukraine has been asking for resources to strike Russia deep in its hinterland. Ultimately, Western countries only provide war weapons that allow Ukraine to hit the Russians just beyond the front. That's like fighting with one hand tied behind its back.

Fortunately, they themselves have proven capable of innovative solutions. They have developed drones that can already reach a range of over 1,000 kilometers. But these drones are slow and therefore relatively easy to shoot down.

Meanwhile, Russia is attacking Ukraine with ballistic missiles that are very difficult to shoot down.

The West has been unwilling to provide such missiles to Ukraine. Therefore, Ukraine has decided to build them itself.

The FP9 is in development. This FP9 is expected to have a range of 800 kilometers at a speed of up to 1,200 meters per second.

With this missile, Moscow can be reached.

Such a missile will give the war a completely different face. Suddenly, Russia has to consider that Ukraine could do to Russia what Russia has been doing to Ukraine for four years.

The heart of Russia is Moscow. If Ukraine can rain missiles down on it every night in a few months, Russia will be in for a storm.

Then there's a chance that the Russians will quickly tire of this war.

Then there's a chance that Russia will literally no longer be able to afford this war, because the economic damage from the missiles will simply be too great for Russia.
