Another kamikaze aircraft-type drone has been introduced in Ukraine. This is the FP-1 unmanned aerial vehicle.
The claimed range is 1600 km. The explosive mass is 120 km. The explosives are located in the head of the drone, which resembles a cruise missile in the geometry of the "fuselage".
The developer calls the FP-1 drone a "strategic" drone.

If we take into account the declared range of the drone, then we can consider which major cities of Russia such a UAV can "reach".
If the drone is launched, for example, from Kharkov, then cities such as Kazan (about 1,100 km), Ufa (1,430 km), St. Petersburg (1,180 km), Kirov (1,200 km) may be under attack. Not to mention Krasnodar, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Saratov and Moscow.

At the same time, in Ukraine itself, they boast that their new FP-1 drone "will fly to both capitals of Russia."

The UAV is equipped with a gasoline engine that rotates a propeller located in the aft part of the drone. Exhaust gases are discharged downwards at an angle of about 45 degrees. This option is implemented so that gases do not affect the rotating screw.
The drone body material used is not reported.
