NASAMS missile manufacturer to create company in Ukraine
The Norwegian company "Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace" plans to manufacture missiles for the NASAMS air defence system in Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, citing Euractiv, this was stated by the company's president, Eirik Lie.
"We are now establishing a company in Ukraine. We are in close discussion with industry in Ukraine to establish a joint venture. The first priority is to increase missile production for our air defence system in Ukraine, based on Ukrainian technology," he noted.
According to Lie, the goal is to mass-produce hundreds of missiles and establish joint ventures with Ukraine within a few months.
"In the long term, when the war is over, Ukraine can be part of the supply chain providing missiles for air defence systems. A lot of innovation is taking place right now in Ukraine, we will be part of that. It is important for us to be there," added the company's president.
