Fire Point FP-1 strikes Omsk refinery 2,500 km away, marking longest-range drone attack
Ukraine's Fire Point FP-1 drone hit a Russian refinery near Omsk, over 2,500 km from the launch site. The strike demonstrated the extreme range and operational flexibility of the FP-1, which has become the backbone of Ukraine's long-range loitering munition campaign.
- 2,500+ km range strike on industrial target required 24+ hour flight, well beyond previous precedent
- Over 5,000 FP-1 drones built to date; production rate exceeds 100 units per day
- Unit cost of $55,000–75,000 per drone makes mass production feasible despite heavy attrition
- Demonstrates sustained innovation in the field: design improvements and new variants added continuously
