Denmark to host Ukrainian long-range missile fuel production

Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense firm producing “Flamingo” long-range cruise missiles, will manufacture missile fuel near Denmark’s Skydstrup Air Force Base, the Danish government announced. This marks Ukraine’s first defense production expansion abroad.

Zelenskiy called Flamingo missiles Ukraine’s most successful weapon. Denmark, a staunch Ukraine supporter since Russia’s 2022 invasion, allocated 500 million crowns ($74.6 million) to aid Ukrainian firms. “It is a helping hand to Ukraine’s struggle for security,” said Poulsen. The facility’s proximity to Denmark’s F-16 fleet raises questions about NATO’s role in escalating Ukraine’s military capabilities.
