Ukrainian defence technology company Fire Point is building its first production facility outside Ukraine, establishing a solid rocket propellant plant in Denmark. Scheduled to begin operations by the end of 2027, it will also be the first Ukrainian facility involved in rocket production on NATO territory.

The plant will cover more than 120,000 square metres and have capacity to fuel between 800 and more than 4,000 missiles annually, depending on demand. Initial production will support FP-7 and FP-7.x ballistic missiles and boosters for the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile, with output focused on the Ukrainian Armed Forces until the war ends.

“The plant will produce solid rocket propellant for Fire Point and, in the future, for other European defense companies as well. This will solve a common European problem with rocket propellant,” said Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh.

Construction has begun with excavation work under way for the main production hall. “We are currently excavating the foundation pit for the main production hall in full compliance with local regulations, which we developed in collaboration with the governments of Denmark and Sweden,” Terekh said during a press tour of the site.

Fire Point outlined the project while participating in DALO Industry Days 2026, Denmark’s defence and industrial exhibition. The company displayed full-scale models of its FP-1 long-range unmanned aircraft, FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile and FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles.

“Our most valuable currency is time. Every hour we are able to work comes at a very high cost for the Ukrainian army and Ukrainian soldiers,” Terekh said.

Fire Point said its weapons are based on operational experience translated into engineering designs that are continuously updated to meet battlefield requirements. The company said the same rapid-development approach could help partner countries strengthen their defence capabilities.

Denmark was the first country to allocate funding for weapons purchased from Ukrainian manufacturers for Ukraine’s defence forces. Fire Point said the decision helped Ukrainian companies expand their technology and production capacity.

“It’s impossible to overstate how important it was that Denmark had the courage to make a decision that was extremely unpopular at the time,” Terekh said. “Denmark viewed Ukraine not as a recipient of aid, but as a supplier of technology and a reliable partner.”

Fire Point is also serving as the lead integrator for the FREYJA project, which is being developed with European partners and international defence companies. The company described the initiative as another effort to apply Ukraine’s wartime experience to broader European security requirements.
