UPDATE 1-Ukraine's Fire Point says rocket fuel plant in Denmark delayed Adds CEO comment in paragraph 2, background in 3
HERNING, Denmark, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Ukrainian drone and missile maker Fire Point's planned rocket fuel production facility in Denmark is delayed by one year, the company's CEO Iryna Terekh said on Wednesday.
Terekh told a press conference she now expects the plant to be up and running by the end of 2027, after a lengthier construction period than previously expected.
Denmark said in September 2025 it would host Ukrainian long-range missile fuel production.
