Large scale production
According to Irina Terekh, CEO and CTO from Fire Point producers, this missile has entered mass production, with an estimated output of 200 units per month.
The Associated Press reported on August 21, 2025 that the current production rate is a missile per day, but is expected to increase in the coming months.
On August 20, Volodymyr President Zelenskyy confirmed the success of the trial and stated that large -scale production would begin early next year. However, he warned that the speed of this program directly depends on the availability of funds.
