Ukraine uses modified drones to destroy Russian supply bridges

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Ukraine has adopted a new strategy of destroying road and rail bridges to disrupt Russian supply lines, particularly those leading to occupied Crimea. This tactic, previously challenging due to the need for heavy munitions and precision, is now being executed using modified Fire Point FP-2 attack drones. These drones, costing approximately $55,000 each and produced in large numbers, are capable of delivering a 350-pound warhead with precision guidance, allowing them to progressively damage bridge supports and bring down entire structures.

IMPACT This development could signal a shift in asymmetric warfare, leveraging precision-guided drones for strategic infrastructure destruction.
