The FP-2 is a drone developed by the Ukrainian company Fire

kilometers, less than the previous FP-1 model’s 1,400-kilometer range, but
carries a larger warhead weighing 60 to 100 kilograms.

He added that the unit is also involved in setting up agent
networks, searching for and detaining citizens deemed disloyal, eliminating
opponents and coordinating pro-Russian militants.
“Across the territory of Ukraine — recruitment work, agent
networks, carrying out terrorist attacks, sabotage, arson and so on,” Magyar
added.
