丹麦政府周三表示,将为乌克兰无人机和导弹制造商 Fire Point 的丹麦子公司提供 7.5 亿丹麦克朗(约 1.126 亿美元)的国家贷款担保。
Denmark will guarantee a 750 million crowns ($112,6 million) loan to the Danish subsidiary of Ukrainian drone and missile maker Fire Point, the Nordic country's government said on Wednesday.
政府称,由于乌克兰战争导致 Fire Point 无法在丹麦以常规条件借款,因此由国家提供担保。资金将通过丹麦出口投资基金 EIFO 发放。
The loan is backed by the state because the war in Ukraine prevents Fire Point from borrowing on ordinary terms in Denmark, the government said.
丹麦去年曾表示,这家乌克兰军工企业将在丹麦领土上开始生产远程导弹燃料。丹麦国防大臣耶佩·布鲁斯在声明中说,将生产基地设在国外,可以使乌克兰的供应链免受俄罗斯袭击。丹麦火箭燃料工厂预计将于 2027 年底投入运营。
Fire Point 已与十多家欧洲防务公司签署协议,为“弗雷亚”导弹防御项目提供雷达、制导等系统,旨在为乌克兰提供一种国产替代方案,以取代美制“爱国者”系统。
Financing will be channelled through the Danish export and investment fund EIFO. Denmark said last year that the Ukrainian arms maker would start production of fuel for long-range missiles on Danish soil By basing production abroad, Ukraine can shield its supply chain from Russian attacks, Danish Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus said in the statement The Danish rocket fuel plant is set to be up and running by the end of 2027 Fire Point signed agreements with more than a dozen European defence companies for radar, guidance and other systems for the Freyja missile defence project, aiming to give Ukraine a domestic alternative to the US-made Patriot system
