The co-owner of the company refuted a widely circulated report by some media about rapid sky protection of Ukraine from Russian ballistic missiles.
Ukrainian defense company Fire Point plans to start producing interceptor missiles no earlier than the middle of next year. This, on Saturday, 8 August, was stated by chief designer and co-owner of the company Denys Stilerman on the social network X.
He made this statement while debunking the information circulated in the media about supposedly "closed skies by the end of the month." He noted that the company has never given such promises.
"The real state of affairs: we are planning a full-scale launch of the anti-ballistic interceptor by the middle of 2027 year. At present, the first cluster of work on integration within the Freyja project has been completed. Ahead is a large and technically complex stage – combining all components into a single system. After that the system must undergo a full test cycle and confirm its ability to intercept ballistic targets," described Stilerman the company’s plans for producing an anti-ballistic defense system.
As a reminder, 13 in July Ukraine, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom officially established the Anti-Ballistic Coalition.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky expressed hope that the Freyja anti-ballistic system will be operational within the next 12 months.
