Fire Point FP-1

Also known as
  • FP-1
  • FP-1 Firepoint
  • Firepoint FP-1
  • Fire Point FP1
  • FP-1 Deep Strike

Fire Point FP-1 is a Ukrainian long-range one-way attack UAV produced by Fire Point for deep strikes against static ground targets. Official Fire Point data presents FP-1 as the deep-strike member of the FP-series UAV line, while 2026 Ukrainian reporting tied FP-1 drones to Moscow-region strikes, a Caspian Sea attack on a Project 21630 Buyan artillery ship, and a reported strike on Russia's Protasovo airfield.

Role in Conflicts

Ukrainian and defense-media reporting documents FP-1 in long-range strikes against Russian targets, including the May 16-17, 2026 Moscow-region strike package, an SSO-reported Caspian Sea attack on a Project 21630 Buyan artillery ship, and a reported strike on UAV-development hangars at Protasovo airfield.

FP-Series Design Context

Fire Point presents FP-1 and FP-2 as ground-launched strike UAVs built around a shared FP-series concept, with FP-1 optimized for fuel capacity and deep-strike range rather than FP-2's heavier front-strike payload. Public reporting describes the family as a scalable Ukrainian wartime production line, but individual strike reports still vary in how much target, unit, and damage detail they disclose.

Deep-strike branch

FP-1 is the long-range FP-series configuration for static ground targets, with official Fire Point data listing up to 60 kg payload and up to 2,600 km operating range.

Shared airframe logic

UNITED24 reports that FP-1 and FP-2 share a carbon-fiber airframe approach but trade fuel capacity and payload differently.

Upgrade reporting

Ukrainska Pravda reported a Eurosatory 2026 FP-1 upgrade with an integrated wing fuel tank and a claimed 2,700 km strike range.

Fire Point did not publicly disclose the details of its reported AI additions.

Variants

Fire Point presents FP-1 and FP-2 as adjacent FP-series UAV systems with different range and payload tradeoffs.

Fire Point lists FP-2 on the same FP-1/FP-2 product page as the front-strike version for static and non-static ground targets, trading FP-1's longer range for a heavier payload.

Fire Point FP-9, Ground-launched short-range ballistic missile, MunitionsMunitionsFire Point FP-9Ground-launched short-range ballistic missileThe Fire Point FP-9 is a Ukrainian ground-launched ballistic missile in development for operational-strategic strike roles, with official claims of an 800 kg payload, up to 855 km range, 20 m accuracy, and a 2,200 m/s maximum speed. Public reporting through early July 2026 described engine validation and flight testing as the remaining gates, so this record stays relationship-only until direct evidence documents fielding or combat use in a named conflict.

Public sources identify it as part of Ukraine's domestically developed deep-strike inventory, with direct official reporting placing RS-1 Bars in the May 2026 Moscow-region strike package and later defense reporting describing a Bars RS variant with a larger fuel tank, higher takeoff weight, and 1,000 km class use claims.

Russia and Ukraine turned them into mass battlefield consumables, while later reporting from Lebanon, Mali, Myanmar, Syria, Sudan, and Mexico shows the same control-link, payload, and low-cost adaptation pattern spreading to state forces, insurgents, and organized armed groups.

Open sources treat it as a previously little-known Bars-family weapon, so the record separates the confirmed Ukrainian conflict-use claim from family-level range, payload, speed, and manufacturer details that remain only partly disclosed.
