| Source measurement | FP-1 is a Ukrainian long-range, one-way attack drone developed and produced by the defence technology company Fire Point . Introduced in late 2024 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine , the FP-1 is designed for deep-strike missions, capable of delivering a warhead over distances up to 1,600 km. It has been deployed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to target high-value military and logistical sites.[source]Fire Point FP-1 · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The FP-1 features a slender fuselage with a two-cylinder engine driving a propeller, a solid rocket booster for launching, and fixed straight wings. It carries a modular warhead weighing between 60 kg and 120 kg, selectable for fragmentation or shaped-charge effects. The airframe employs radar-absorbent materials to reduce detectability. Navigation relies on inertial systems augmented by satellite guidance, with electronic counter-countermeasure capabilities to resist jamming.[source]Fire Point FP-1 · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage By mid-2025, Fire Point had increased production from 30 to over 100 FP-1 units per day, reporting total manufacture of more than 5,000 drones. The UAV has been credited with striking ammunition depots, command posts, and air defence batteries at ranges exceeding 1,200 km. Analysts attribute Ukraine's ability to disrupt rear-area logistics to the FP-1's cost-effectiveness – US$55,000 to $75,000 per unit according to the Fire Point CEO versus US$200,000 for comparable systems. Recent capability expansions include carrying two deployable FPV drones on the wings.[source]Fire Point FP-1 · Operational history; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 6 July 2026, Ukrainian drones, reported to be FP-1, travelled over 2,500 km and hit Russia's Omsk refinery , the largest oil refinery in Russia.[source]Fire Point FP-1 · Operational history; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
