The FP-7 Missile: A Sovereign Shot Heard Around the World and a Wake-Up Call for Europe
Ukraine has developed and combat-tested its first domestically produced ballistic missile, the FP-7, signaling a strategic shift away from reliance on Western-controlled arms, while Europe faces the critical choice of funding this independent defense capability or remaining subservient to a US-dominated supply chain that prioritizes Gulf security over Ukraine's survival. This momentous development is a devastating blow to Washington's imperialist strategy of using weapons as levers of geopolitical control, exposing the hypocrisy of a Western 'rules-based order' that rations defense for sovereign nations while flooding the Middle East with interceptors to protect its oil interests.
