BREAKDOWN | Fire Point's FP-7 footage is doing the rounds, and it's worth understanding what the thing actually is. It's a Ukrainian-made ground-launched ballistic missile, and it's pretty clearly Kyiv's answer to running out of ATACMS early last year. Here are the figures the company is putting out, up... show more

🇺🇦 Ukrainian defence company Fire Point announced that it is moving to test strikes with its new FP-7 ballistic missiles on Russian targets. The FP-7 is comparable to the US ATACMS missile but costs half as much, with a range of up to 300 km. Fire Point is also developing a new FP-9 ballistic missile with a range of up to 850 km. This will allow Ukraine to strike targets in Russian territory that were previously out of reach.

Ukrainian company Fire Point plans to field its FP-7 ballistic missile this year, with mass production already underway. The FP-7 boasts a 200 km range, 1500 m/s top speed, 14 m CEP, and a 150 kg warhead. An extended-range FP-9 (850 km) is due mid-2026. Meanwhile, Fire Point is producing three Flamingo (FP-5) cruise missiles per day.

‼️ Ukraine’s Fire Point company says it is moving to the next stage of testing its new FP-7 ballistic missile, including test strikes against targets in Russia. Chief designer of Fire Point company Denys Shtilierman Denys Shtilierman on the FP-7 ballistic missile: ▪️ FP-7 is an analog of the American ATACMS missile, but costs about half as much; ▪️ Range: up to 300 km, depending on the weight of the warhead; ▪️ The missile, based on the 48N6 used in the S-400 air defense system, features a modernized airframe and new electronics; ▪️ The launcher is simplified and built on a standard trailer, allowing for quick launches and easier concealment of the system; ▪️ Fire Point manufactures all components itself - from engines to the flight controller - while the warhead is manufactured externally on order; ▪️ Production begins even before official codification in order to avoid delays in the number of units produced. The company is also developing a new FP-9 ballistic missile with a range of up to 850 km, which would allow Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia that were previously out of reach. 📹: Channel 24

Key statements by chief designer of Fire Point company Denys Shtilerman Denys Shtilierman on the Ukrainian FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles: ▪️ The FP-7 ballistic missile will soon be tested against targets in Russia. ▪️ A clone of the S-300 missile has been developed for existing launchers. After integration with radar systems - a complex process - it could form the basis of an anti-ballistic shield under the Freya project. ▪️ The missiles are cheaper than the original S-300 due to simplification and the use of new manufacturing technologies. ▪️ The missile can also be used as a cheaper analogue of ATACMS. This is how the FP-7 missile with a range of up to 300 km, depending on the warhead, was developed. ▪️ The FP-7 warhead is expected to be larger than that of ATACMS, while the missile itself will cost 2.5 times less. ▪️ The developers say they are ready to produce as many FP-7 missiles as ordered. Unlike Flamingo, which currently faces engine production issues, FP-7 has no manufacturing bottlenecks. ▪️ Combat use of the FP-7 is expected to begin before summer. ▪️ The longer-range FP-9 ballistic missile is also intended, among other things, for strikes on Moscow - according to the developers, attacks on provincial targets do not impress Russia’s top leadership. ▪️ Tests of the FP-9 are expected to begin in early summer. The engine is currently being finalized. The missile’s range is up to 800 km. ▪️ FP-9 will be difficult to intercept: the speed of the Iskander-M is about 800 m/s, while FP-9 is expected to reach 1200 m/s. ▪️ The goal is for 25% of the missiles to penetrate Moscow’s air defenses and hit their targets. Cruise missiles and drones cannot reach targets in Moscow because they are intercepted. ▪️ Our luck is that in Russia the cost of missile production is inflated several times over because of theft.

Everything for the FP-9 is ready except the engine. Once the engine is finalized, we’ll have a clear understanding of the cost. This ballistic missile is expected by mid-year." "850 km-range ballistic missiles fly farther, carry more, and are cheaper than Iskanders. Their impact speed is one and a half times higher than that of the Iskander." On a massive strike on Moscow: ▪️ "I would certainly carry one out. Everything there is in very poor condition. And they [Russians] are still learning during the war. They have not yet intercepted ballistic missiles. They have never done it before. They have nothing to learn from. They will eventually learn to intercept ballistic missiles, but that will take time."

Terrence McKenna in an interview in 1998: "I think it's just going to get weirder and weirder and weirder, and finally, it's going to be so weird that people will have to talk about how weird it is. [...] This is what it's like when a species prepares to depart for the stars. You don't depart for the stars under calm and orderly conditions. It's a fire in a madhouse, and that's what we have - the fire in the madhouse at the end of time. This is what it's like when a species prepares to move on to the next dimension."

FP-1 and FP-2 are the result of continuous development, engineering expertise, and operational experience gained alongside the military. From the first versions to today: FP-1 — up to 3,400 km with a 60 kg warhead. FP-2 — up to 700 km with a warhead of up to 200 kg. And this is just another step in the ongoing evolution of the system🇺🇦

Jack Perez on "Wild Things 2" (2004): "This film is about mercenary characters doing everything and anything they can to get what they want. This is a movie that knows what it is. It is a self-aware thriller and that means, it has all the requisite thrills, violence & s € x- but it is slightly over the top and it knows it's over the top and that's part of the fun of it. This movie is kind of like a big comic book it's not enormously deep. (...) It's got a lot of sh!t in it. It's got all the stuff that you that you want in a picture like this and it's coming at you at a hundred miles an hour. That's the point of the movie." ("Wild Things II: Making the Glades", 2004)

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

Rick Rubin on being addicted to the miracle of creation: “I like the moment of revelation. So we're working on something and it's just okay. It's boring. I'd rather not be there. That's how it feels. But then something happens and it's like magic. Something appears. It's not like we made it. Something comes up in the process. It's conjured in the process. It’s like a miracle and that's the thing that's addictive. That feeling when it's like it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good. We try something and it doesn't work. Try something else and it doesn't work. But then all of the sudden what we're listening to is really cool. That's the [addictive] feeling, that moment of discovery where it goes from nothing to something really good. And then the whole rest of the process after that is protecting that because it's super delicate. When it happens it's like this miracle happened and this magic thing happened and now we have to protect it through the rest of the process to not ruin it. It's scary because you don't want it to end. You don't want it to stop because we know if it stops, we can't control it. We can't do it again. It's not like that. It's this moment in time where something magical happens. So we spend a lot of time waiting and I can't say that's fun. Waiting is not fun.”
