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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.
