Recall
Ukrainian FP-1 Deep Strike-class attack drones manufactured by Fire Point have surpassed some cruise missiles in characteristics, in particular the British Storm Shadow: they are capable of hitting targets at a distance of over 3,000 km and carrying a warhead comparable to a missile one, while costing tens of times less, stated Advisor to the Minister of Defense Serhiy Sternenko.
According to him, for the cost of one Storm Shadow (about $2.5 million), you can purchase 30-50 drones, and it is the mass production of cheap UAVs that has allowed Ukraine to systematically destroy Russian logistics.
As an example, Sternenko cited the strike of modernized FP-1s on the Omsk Oil Refinery in Siberia at a distance of over 2,500 km.
Recall, after the strike by Ukrainian drones on the oil refinery in Russian Omsk, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that there is no longer a single oil refinery in Russia that Ukraine cannot reach.
