Ukrainian FP-1 Drones Hit Wildberries’ Largest Logistics Center
Ukrainian FP-1 long-range drones struck Wildberries’ largest logistics hub in the Moscow Region, according to the Ukrainian military company Fire Point.
The strike took place on the night of August 15–16. Footage shared by eyewitnesses shows a fire at the Wildberries logistics center in Koledino, near Podolsk.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed that drones heading toward the Russian capital had been shot down. At the same time, residents of Podolsk published videos showing the attack and a large fire near the logistics center.
Fire Point confirmed that its FP-1 long-range drones struck the facility.
The company said the logistics hub is one of Wildberries’ largest complexes, covering approximately 250,000 square meters. The facility is used to store, sort, and distribute dual-use goods.
The FP-1 is a Ukrainian long-range strike drone designed to engage ground targets. It has a claimed range of up to 2,600 km, a payload capacity of up to 60 kg, and a flight endurance of up to seven hours.
In late July, Fire Point announced an upgraded version of the FP-1 with a claimed range of up to 3,400 km.
The strike on the Wildberries facility came amid a series of Ukrainian attacks against Russian military and logistics targets.
On August 16, the Ukrainian Navy reported striking the deployment site and launch positions of a Russian Bastion coastal missile system in occupied Crimea. These systems are used by Russia to launch Onyx and Zircon missiles.
The Ukrainian General Staff also reported strikes against a railway bridge near Svitlodolynske in the Zaporizhzhia region, which is used by Russian forces for military logistics, as well as Russian military warehouses containing supplies and ammunition in Karlivka, Donetsk region.
Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries’ logistics network have already caused billions of dollars in damage to the Russian e-commerce company and its sellers. By mid-August, direct damage to the company’s infrastructure was estimated at up to $2.66 billion, while total losses, including destroyed goods, could reach nearly $12 billion.
The attacks have also significantly disrupted Wildberries’ operations. According to Die Welt, around 20 company facilities have reportedly been hit since July 18, while satellite imagery indicates that roughly one-fifth of the company’s warehouse capacity has been damaged or destroyed.
The disruption is affecting thousands of businesses that rely on the marketplace. One Wildberries pickup-point operator in Moscow said his sales had fallen by about 50% as deliveries declined from around 400 parcels a day to approximately 150. He said he was considering selling the business because he lacked the financial reserves to continue operating.
The impact is also spreading to Russia’s wider economy. Around 300 companies are reportedly seeking to restructure their loans, while Sberbank has warned that it may need to increase provisions for credit losses linked to the disruption.
Earlier on August 16, Ukraine’s cyber forces also carried out a large-scale operation targeting the digital infrastructure of Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries.
