In Crimea, Ukrainian drones struck Russian mobile air defense units with air-to-ground missiles.
One such attack was captured on video. The footage was published in the 13 TACTICAL Telegram group, showing the Russian mobile air defense unit in action during the strike.
According to the invaders, Ukrainian forces used FP-1/2 strike drones manufactured by Fire Point for the attack.
Russian military officials claim that a special launch unit is mounted on the drone.
The design allows for the deployment of four air-to-ground missiles at once.
Such a modification of the drones significantly expands their strike capabilities and allows them to attack ground targets without the drone itself making direct contact.

This concept is not new for drones. Previously, the IKA-ROCKET drone equipped with unguided air-to-ground missiles was developed in Serbia.
