Ukraine’s FP-1 Drone Strikes Russian Airfield Hosting UAV Development Center, Video

A Ukrainian long-range FP-1 drone struck infrastructure at Russia’s Protasovo airfield in the Ryazan region, according to materials published by the Telegram channel Dossier of a Spy and geolocation analysis released by Dnipro OSINT on June 8.

According to Dnipro OSINT, the strike targeted hangars associated with a research and production center involved in the development and manufacture of unmanned aerial vehicles operating on the airfield’s territory. The extent of the damage has not been independently confirmed.

Geolocation analysis published by Dnipro OSINT compared footage of the strike with satellite imagery of Protasovo airfield. According to the analysis, visible landmarks, aircraft parking areas, and hangar structures in the video matched locations on the airfield. Additional imagery published by the analyst showed the drone’s likely flight path toward the hangar area near the runway.

Video circulated by Dossier of a Spy appears to show a drone flying over the airfield before an explosion near several hangars. A voice heard in the footage says, “It hit the drone operators.”

According to reports cited by Dnipro OSINT, the attack was carried out using a Ukrainian-made FP-1 long-range strike drone developed by Fire Point. The target is located more than 500 kilometers from Ukrainian-controlled territory.

The FP-1 was publicly unveiled by Ukraine’s Ministry of Strategic Industries in 2025. The drone is designed for long-range strikes against targets deep inside Russia and is reported to have a maximum range of up to 1,600 kilometers while carrying a warhead weighing up to 120 kilograms, depending on mission requirements.

Earlier, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported that Ukraine’s Deep Strike operations targeted 111 Russian military-industrial, energy, and fuel infrastructure facilities in May, causing an estimated $1.06 billion in direct and indirect economic losses, including coordinated strikes on targets in and around Moscow.
