Ukraine expands long-range FP-1/FP-2 drone campaign to hunt ships near Crimea

The post describes Ukrainian FP-1/FP-2 strike drones being launched from far behind the front (over 100 km), flying autonomously to an operational area, then being remotely piloted for terminal attack against maritime targets around Crimea. It also highlights a high-tempo, highly mobile launch concept (catapult/jet-booster launches, rapid displacement, no site reuse) enabling sustained ship-hunting and logistics interdiction in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea.
