Ukraine’s FP-2 tactical strike drone has been equipped with an adapted OFAB-100-110-TU aerial bomb, increasing its payload capacity and destructive power, Militarnyi reported on October 28.
The FP-2, developed by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, is designed for front-line operations and strikes against Russian positions up to 200 kilometers away.
According to Militarnyi, photos published by the Telegram channel Potuzhnyi Informator show remnants of the FP-2’s warhead recovered by Russian forces.
Analysts from the outlet Vodohray confirmed that the bomb is of Czechoslovak origin and was previously used in training aircraft such as the L-39, which explains its Russian-language markings.
The OFAB-100-110-TU is a high-explosive fragmentation bomb with a total mass of about 121 kilograms, though the FP-2 configuration reduces this weight by removing the detachable tail section to improve balance and flight performance.
The warhead contains roughly 44 kilograms of TG-50 explosive—a 50/50 mix of TNT and RDX—optimized for targeting unarmored or lightly protected facilities.
Compared to Russia’s Geran-2 (Shahed-136) drones, which carry warheads of around 90 kilograms, the FP-2’s payload offers higher explosive power. However, Militarnyi noted that Russian drones use more complex combined warheads.
Fire Point first unveiled the FP-2 in September 2025 as a “middle strike” class drone, complementing the company’s longer-range FP-1, which can reach targets up to 1,400 kilometers away.
In exchange for reduced range, the FP-2 carries a heavier warhead—estimated between 105 and 120 kilograms.
The drone can operate autonomously for strikes on static targets or be manually controlled by an operator for moving targets.
Since its introduction, the FP-2 has been used in several confirmed strikes on Russian logistics hubs, oil depots in occupied Crimea and Luhansk, and bases such as the 810th Marine Brigade facility in Russia’s Kursk region, according to Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces.
Earlier, Russia had upgraded its Geran-2 drones with experimental warheads combining napalm-like incendiaries and fragmentation explosives. The modified design includes a red-brown incendiary mixture and an air-burst detonation system, aiming to increase the drones’ lethality and expand the radius of fire and fragmentation damage.
