Ivan,

It would appear your input file is really a 1bit file, and likely is
compressed.  You can try adding "-co COMPRESS=DEFLATE" to your gdalwarp
commandline to compress your output file.  It should compress very well.

If that fails in some weird way, then use gdalwarp normally, and then
do the compression as an extra step.

eg.
gdal_translate -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE in.tif out.tif

Best regards,
