The company Fire Point, known as the Ukrainian manufacturer of ‘Flamingo’ cruise missiles, has made a strategic purchase of thousands of old turbojet engines with a remaining resource of less than 10 hours, which have been refurbished to ensure a stockpile before the start of mass production.

Automation of Production and Launch of a New Engine Factory
Fire Point plans to significantly increase its production capacity by the end of this year: while currently about two missiles are produced daily, the company will soon reach a level of 200 units per month. To ensure independence in production, the company is currently building its own jet engine manufacturing plant under a license from a Ukrainian manufacturer. The launch of the new facility is scheduled for the beginning of next year.
The production process at Fire Point is almost fully automated and distributed among various locations. The only component of the missiles developed by external Ukrainian companies is the warhead.
Merging Defense Companies to Enhance Export Development
The Ukrainian manufacturer of electronic warfare systems ‘Infozakhyst’ has joined the Danish-Ukrainian holding MITS Industries. The holding will include five companies that develop ground robotics, electronic warfare systems, surface drones, and UAVs.
The merger aims to scale up development and production and open stable channels for the export of Ukrainian defense technologies to the global market.
Thanks to such initiatives, the Ukrainian defense sector is gaining new opportunities for development and strengthening its position in the global military technology market.
