NASAMS Missile Maker To Set Up Company In Ukraine

The prospects are amazing.

Norwegian company Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace plans to produce missiles for the NASAMS air defense system in Ukraine. This means producing hundreds of missiles.

This was stated by the company's president Eirik Lie in an interview with Euractiv.

“We are currently setting up a company in Ukraine. We are in close discussions with representatives of the Ukrainian industry about setting up a joint venture. The first priority is to increase the production of missiles for our air defense system in Ukraine based on Ukrainian technology,” Lie said.

According to him, this refers to mass production of missiles and the possibility of setting up joint ventures with Ukraine within a few months.

“In the long term, when the war is over, Ukraine can become part of the supply chain for missiles for air defense systems. There is a lot of innovation happening in Ukraine now, and we will be part of it. It is important for us to be there,” he said.
