As a keen reminder of the threats Ukraine is facing, Fire Point CEO
Iryna Terekh had to stop a recent interview with TWZ to scramble to a
shelter as Russian ballistic missiles were approaching. A 35-year-old
architect by training, Terekh helped turn Fire Point from a Ukrainian
start-up making weapons in a garage into a leading producer of
indigenously made long-range strike drones and missiles, and we talked
to her about the company’s weapons and future plans. |
Fire Point’s FP-1 and FP-2 drones have been striking Russian targets to
devastating effect and its heavy-hitting Flamingo cruise missiles are
adding a new level of long-range threat. | Read the full interview here. |
