Details: The video shows the drone launching a rocket as it flew over a mobile fire group of the Russian troops.
Dnipro OSINT analyst Harbuz ("Pumpkin") suggested that unguided aircraft rockets were launched from a Ukrainian FP-2 attack drone.
Quote from Harbuz: "It looks like the FP-2 has been armed with unguided rockets."
More details: Denys Shtilerman later confirmed the use of rockets from FP drones.
"We can do this too," Shtilerman wrote, commenting on the video from Crimea.
For reference: The FP-2 attack drone belongs to the "middle strike" class UAV. The drone is said to have a strike range of up to 200 km and a warhead of up to 105 kg. The drone can engage stationary targets in autonomous guidance mode or moving targets when controlled by an operator via radio link. It is capable of operating both day and night. Its design is based on the long-range FP-1 UAV.
Background: It was reported earlier that Ukrainian forces began using winged FPV drones with PG-7-type warheads, significantly increasing their strike range. A new generation of Ukrainian-made attack FPV drones also underwent testing by the Ministry of Defence and the Brave1 platform.
