She also pointed to the relevance of the experience of Ukrainian companies in the context of today's war, highlighting the importance of developing the national defense industry. In a highly bureaucratized environment, cooperation with Ukrainian manufacturers requires efforts to eliminate administrative barriers.
Fire Point's Know-How
In addition, Iryna Terekh talked about the company's know-how, which consists of a system and approaches to production:
- service system
- training system
- support system
- continuous cycle and innovation system
These elements are crucial for ensuring the efficiency and competitiveness of Fire Point in the international market.
Thus, to scale the production of Flamingo missiles, it is necessary not only to have funding but also to reduce bureaucratic obstacles, allowing Ukrainian companies to compete effectively and meet the needs of the defense industry.
Iryna Terekh's statements highlight the key challenges faced by Ukrainian defense enterprises in the context of modern geopolitical realities. Cooperation with international partners, particularly in the context of funding, can be an important factor for the development of national industry. However, to achieve this, it is necessary to overcome existing administrative barriers, which can contribute to the faster implementation of cutting-edge technologies and innovations in the defense sector.
