Ukrainian FP-1 Drones Allegedly Launched at Targets in Russian Regions
SHOT reports Ukraine used FP-1 drones with 60-kg payloads to strike Russian regions, while Russian air defenses downed 249 UAVs during a major overnight attack.
Ukraine’s Armed Forces have reportedly used FP-1 drones to strike targets across several Russian regions, according to the Telegram channel SHOT. The platform claims these unmanned aircraft are capable of carrying up to 60 kilograms of explosives. Russia’s Defense Ministry has not issued an official comment on the report.
SHOT states that the drones were launched from three Ukrainian regions — Odessa, Nikolaev and Poltava — with some aircraft allegedly taking off from an airfield in Kremenchug. The channel also notes that the FP-1 models involved were fitted with OFB-60-YA fragmentation-high-explosive munitions.
The publication recalls that, during the night of 24–25 November, Russia’s air-defense network repelled another large-scale drone assault. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, air-defense crews intercepted and destroyed 249 fixed-wing UAVs.
In the Rostov region, the wave of drone attacks caused structural damage. Four apartment blocks, a dozen private homes, as well as several social facilities and other infrastructure sites sustained various levels of destruction.
