The FP-7 ballistic missile has been used in combat. However, it is quite expensive. And it doesn't make sense to implement it from an economic point of view, - Tillerman "It's cheap enough compared to ATACMS. But it is expensive enough on its own. And to deliver 200 kg over 300 km for $600,000 when you can do it for $50,000 [with an FP-2 UAV with a 200 kg warhead, editor] doesn't make sense." According to him, until this missile with a cluster warhead is advanced and enters service, there is no point in using it with a high-fragmentation warhead economically. As for the FP-9 missile, according to Stillerman, it is undergoing final tests and its first combat use is expected in the near future.
