Does Ukraine Own Domestically Produced Long-Range Missile?

Ukraine may have used a domestically produced long-range missile in combat against Russia for the first time, Bloomberg reports. Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Russian armed forces had intercepted a long-range operational-tactical missile. The ministry did not disclose additional details regarding the weapon involved. Analysts cited by Bloomberg suggested that Ukraine may have used one of its own missile systems in combat operations for the first time. At the same time, Denis Shtilerman, chief designer and co-owner of the Ukrainian company Fire Point, publicly rejected suggestions that the missile involved was the company's FP-9 system.
