Description
Ukrainian defense company Fire Point will begin production in Skrydstrup, Denmark, on December 1, 2025. According to Danish ministers, the factory is expected to create several hundred jobs, primarily for Danish citizens and Ukrainian residents.
The new facility will manufacture solid rocket fuel for long-range missiles, including Ukraine’s Flamingo missile. Employment will follow Danish labor regulations, with a particular need for unskilled labor. The project is being fast-tracked under national defense legislation, though officials emphasize that safety and environmental standards will remain in place.
