A Ukrainian weapons manufacturer will begin production of fuel for long-range missiles in Denmark, the Danish government said on Wednesday, marking the first expansion abroad by a Ukrainian defense company.
Axar.az informs, citing Reuters, the Ukrainian company is Fire Point, maker of the Flamingo missiles, which President Volodymyr Zelensky has described as his country’s most successful weapon. In June, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was in talks on joint weapons production with Denmark, Norway, Germany, Canada, Britain, and Lithuania.
The fuel production will be located near Denmark’s Skydstrup air force base, home to the Nordic country’s fleet of F-16 fighter jets.
“It is a helping hand to Ukraine’s struggle for security, their own independence and, not least, their opportunity to live in peace,” Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen told journalists.
