Ukrainian company Fire Point will produce rocket fuel abroad for the first time. This company is also the developer of the Flamingo missiles, this was announced by the Danish government, according to Reuters.

The fuel production is expected to be located near the Skrydstrup Air Base in Denmark, home to the Danish F-16 fighter fleet.

"It is a helping hand to Ukraine's struggle for security, their own independence and, not least, their opportunity to live in peace," emphasized Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

This will be Fire Point’s first experience producing its products abroad.

Flamingo missiles

It was reported just a few weeks ago that Ukraine has begun serial production of long-range Flamingo missiles.

Their specifications are quite impressive. The missile has a range of 3,000 kilometers, a maximum speed of 950 km/h, a wingspan of 6 meters, and a warhead weighing 1 ton.

On August 31, rumors appeared in the media that such a missile had struck enemy targets in temporarily occupied Crimea, reportedly hitting a base of Russian border guards.
