Ukrainian FP-1 drone hits hangars at UAV production facility in Russia's Ryazan Oblast, says OSINT analyst
A Ukrainian long-range FP-1 drone has struck hangars at a UAV development and production centre at the Protasovo airfield in Russia's Ryazan Oblast.

Quote from Harbuz: "An FP-1 hit hangars at a research and production centre for the development and production of UAVs at the Prostasovo airfield in Ryazan Oblast."
The extent of the damage is not yet known.
Dnipro OSINT also released materials with the geolocation of a video previously posted by the Telegram channel Spy's Dossier. In one image, the analyst compared a frame from the video with a satellite image of the Protasovo airfield, showing that the locations of hangars, aircraft parking areas, and other landmarks in the video match the structures at the airfield.
In another image, Dnipro OSINT showed the likely flight path of the FP-1 towards the hangars near the runway.
Spy's Dossier, a Telegram channel linked to by Dnipro Osint, released a video that likely shows the attack.

The footage shows a drone flying over the airfield, followed by an explosion in the hangar area. The phrase "The UAV crews have been hit" can also be heard in the video.
Last May, Ukraine's Ministry of Strategic Industries unveiled the long-range FP-1 drone. It can carry a warhead weighing up to 120 kg and has a range of up to 1,600 km. The warhead weight is likely linked to the distance the drone has to cover.
It was previously reported that a Ukrainian FP-2 drone had launched a missile attack on Russian military assets in Crimea. Analysts also posted a video showing the consequences of an FP-1 drone strike on an ammonia plant in Russia.
