The Danish government is in discussions with the Ukrainian defense company Skyfall, one of the country’s largest drone manufacturers, about establishing production in Denmark.
If Skyfall proceeds with the plan, it is expected to cooperate with one or more Danish companies.
Before any contracts are finalized, a thorough due diligence process will be conducted to review the company’s ownership structure, potential corruption risks, and compliance with anti-money laundering standards.
The “Ukrainian defense industry has shown an impressive ability to support the country’s defense struggle through continuous innovation and development of their products,” stated Head of the Ministry of Defense Materiel and Procurement Agency, Lieutenant General Per Pugholm Olsen.
“Skyfall is a company with an impressive product portfolio that can provide strategically important production and supply on Danish soil – both for Ukraine and Denmark.”
Access to Technology
The discussions align with Kyiv’s Build with Ukraine program, which aims to open defense production lines in European partner countries and facilitate technology transfer to allied nations.
Skyfall’s initiative would make the company the second Ukrainian defense firm to establish operations in Denmark, following Fire Point, which began construction last year on a facility that will supply rocket and drone fuel to Ukraine, with production scheduled to start in late 2026.
The initiative comes as Ukraine announced earlier this month plans to open 10 weapons export centers across Europe this year.
The centers will manage the sale of surplus military equipment, using the proceeds to acquire urgently needed weapons for Ukrainian forces.
They will be located in Baltic and Northern European countries, with a particular focus on drone technologies.
