Ukrainian defence enterprise TAF Industries<\/a> plans to launch production of its first batch of products in Denmark by the end of 2026 through a joint venture with local company Upteko. According to the TAF\u2019s CBDO, Mykhailo Diachenko, the process is currently delayed<\/a> by regulatory and administrative procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to navigate a substantial number of bureaucratic procedures to make this possible. Our primary goal\u2014which we believe we can achieve, though it may well require a minor miracle\u2014is to output the first batch of products by the end of the year,\u201d Diachenko told NordicDefenceWatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is also evaluating expansion into other Nordic nations. TAF Industries has already begun the process in Norway and is negotiating with Swedish firm Recas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Diachenko, establishing an industrial presence in partner nations supporting Ukraine remains a priority for TAF Industries. This strategy will enable the company to expand local defence manufacturing while transferring Ukrainian combat experience and technology to European partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TAF Industries is a Ukrainian FPV drone manufacturer with a total production capacity of approximately 1 million units annually. In August 2026, the company signed a memorandum to establish a joint venture<\/a> with Upteko.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
