The Ukrainian company Fire Point is seeking to address one of the most critical bottlenecks in the European defense industry by constructing a large-scale production facility for solid rocket propellants in Denmark.
The plant is being developed in Vojens, Southern Jutland, near the Skrydstrup airbase. This marks the first production facility established by a Ukrainian defense company outside Ukraine and represents one of the most significant transfers of Ukrainian military know-how to NATO territory.
Construction moved to the next phase on December 1, 2025, with the groundbreaking ceremony. The government has presented the project as a strategic investment that strengthens both Ukraine’s defense capabilities and the Danish defense industry, while simultaneously creating new jobs in Southern Jutland.
The complex will span more than 120,000 square meters and will have the capacity to produce propellant for between 800 and over 4,000 missiles annually, depending on demand. Once production begins, the facility is expected to employ between 300 and 400 workers. The facility will manufacture solid propellants for the FP-7 and FP-7.x ballistic missiles, as well as initial-acceleration boosters for the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile. The initial 30,000-square-meter building will be used to produce carbon-fiber rocket motor casings.
Strict Danish safety specifications compelled the company to design a new production building featuring 90-centimeter-thick reinforced concrete walls. This change pushed the start of operations to late 2027, with estimated costs potentially exceeding €150 million.
Initially, production will meet Ukraine’s needs, while later it will also be able to supply European companies. Fire Point claims the facility could even cover the entire European shortfall in solid propellants.
The project is of particular importance, as the issue concerns not only funding but also a lack of actual industrial capacity. At the same time, the project reduces Europe’s reliance on external suppliers and shifts critical production away from the reach of Russian strikes.
