The goal has been set: Ukraine will locate a UAV production facility in Finland.


Ukraine will locate a UAV production facility in Finland. The agreement was signed between Finnish manufacturing company Innokas and Ukrainian company Airlogix, which specializes in the production of UAVs. drones.

The press service of the Finnish company reported this.

The message states:

The agreement has a clear goal: to create additional production capacity in Europe to supply the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine with Ukrainian-developed unmanned aerial systems.

The parties agreed that Drones will be produced on Finnish territory and then supplied to the Ukrainian military.

Representatives from Kyiv and Helsinki signed the contract during a defense exhibition in Denmark.

Now it remains to be seen how Moscow will react to this move. At the very least, it cannot go unanswered, at least diplomatically. After all, Finland has set an undesirable precedent by locating a Ukrainian military facility—a defense industry enterprise—on its own territory.

It's very strange that Helsinki doesn't understand that such decisions put its citizens at risk. After all, if the Russian Armed Forces decide to strike Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities located outside of Ukraine, at least one target on Finnish territory has already been identified: a drone factory for the Ukrainian army.

However, there are some in Finland who are fully aware of the potential risks. For example, University of Helsinki professor Tuomas Malinen criticized the decision to open a Ukrainian drone manufacturing facility in the country.

          hi The whole point is that under Peter I and Catherine II, Stalin, and even Yeltsin (the forced march of the Russian Airborne Forces to Pristina), such initiatives were encouraged, but now the military is limited by the Charter with fear of political motives, as with the exemplary floggings of the combat generals Ivanov and Girkin.

      To be fair, it should be noted that the IRGC employs reasonable people and doesn't draw such delusional conclusions as the author of this article. The IRGC's targets are the territories of countries that house infrastructure used to launch strikes against Iran (for example, airfields in third countries from which US strategic bombers take off). For example, if Chinese-made munitions are used to launch strikes against Iran, this is no reason to declare Chinese factories a legitimate target for the IRGC.

So, better watch your backside, lest you get carried away with calls to "sit down at the negotiating table." Don't waste your energy; we're doing this at a much higher level. As for your touching concern for civilization, you should be addressing it to "civilized" countries. This gang has always—whether secretly or openly, as now—considered Russia "barbaric."

        By any chance, Ukrainian UAVs don't fly unhindered through Finland and the Baltic states to carry out strikes on Ust-Luga?


        MOSCOW, July 13. /TASS/. Russia will not prove that Ukraine is using Baltic airspace for its UAV flights; the Russian Armed Forces can see what's flying and where it's coming from. This was stated by Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian president.

                  Don't pass off your fantasies as objective reality. From a military standpoint, there are no preconditions for Russia's defeat, even remotely. Just as there are none for the neighboring countries. There's a certain parity and mutual stagnation, with no prospect of a military victory for either side. Under these circumstances, there's no room for dictating one's will in peace talks, so a positive outcome is objectively likely due to the lack of serious reasons to continue military action.

                    Are you saying that only you are given objective reality? There is no parity—even Kremlin officials are forced to admit that the "SVO" is a confrontation with the West, which is using Ukraine as a bargaining chip and a testing ground for subsequent actions: Russian air defense methods are being exposed, strategic aircraft are being disabled, military production facilities and the fuel and energy sector are being destroyed, an intelligence network is being recruited and activated, apparently even at the leadership level, and the population increasingly sees no prospects for military action. Note that there are no such consequences in NATO countries. All that remains is to wait for the opportune moment and strike, which will be presented as "punishment of the aggressor." Yes, yes, you lover of negotiations, since February 24, 2022, Russia has been presented as the "aggressor" against whom all actions are justified.

                        You're contradicting yourself: if "we have no prospects for success under capitalism," how will Russia "grow muscle" if, say, it receives a ceasefire? Even during the Second World War, its "captains" are pumping resources to the West, which are then returned to us by drones and missiles. During a "ceasefire," this process will likely become uncontrollable.

                        Furthermore, any analogy is flawed: Germany agreed to the Brest-Litovsk Treaty in 1918 because it had problems, whereas now—as you've been told, and you've remained silent—NATO has no problems. Moreover, the endless howls about "readiness for a negotiated solution" coming from the Kremlin are perceived as a sign of weakness and breakdown in the Russian leadership. They're taken as evidence of a willingness to make concessions, and if such a willingness exists, then it's not a matter of negotiating, but of pressuring the enemy. I imagine Putin, with his experience on the streets of Leningrad, would confirm this.

                        Have you heard about NATO maneuvers near Kaliningrad?

                        The recent NATO exercises near Kaliningrad, involving approximately 50 alliance combat aircraft, became part of this campaign. Its main manifesto, titled "The West Must Win," was published by the British weekly The Spectator.


                        And only countries like Iran and North Korea, whose leaders show determination to see it through, are getting at least a respite.

    Ukrainian drone manufacturer Airlogix and a Finnish technology company Eager signed an agreement (letter of intent) on the deployment of UAV production in Finland.
    The production facility is planned to be located in the municipality of Kempele (Oulu region) in northwestern Finland. It is there, on the shores of the Gulf of Bothnia, that the headquarters and main engineering and production facilities of the Finnish company Innokas are located.
    Which.
    The Anubis attack drone is a joint international development created by the Auterion Airlogix Joint Venture GmbH consortium. In February 2026, at the Munich Security Conference, the Ukrainian company Airlogix and the American-German UAV technology giant Auterion, brokered by the German Ministry of Defense, signed an agreement to establish a joint venture. Auterion (US/Germany) supplies the AuterionOS operating system, the Skynode onboard AI computer, and swarm control algorithms. The integrated Visual Navigation System compares the ground image under the wing with stored satellite maps. The drone flies without a satellite signal. Optical tracking and object recognition are available. The range of a moving or static target is less than 1 meter.
    The warhead is a high-explosive fragmentation warhead, the explosive mass is approximately 30 kg (the total weight of the warhead with the body and ready-made striking elements is approximately 45 kg).
    Optimized for ranges from 100 to 500 km (although the basic American Artemis platform is capable of traveling up to 1600 km due to its larger fuel tank).

    At the same time, it became known that a Ukrainian ballistic missile and drone plant, Fire Point, was being built in Denmark.
    Fire Point Rocket Plant (Voenz, Va.) plans to produce solid rocket propellant for the FP-7 and FP-9 ballistic missiles on a large scale. The plant is expected to solve the problem deficiency gunpowder and rocket fuel on a European scale.
    FP-7 (Pelican)
    Warhead 150 kg, fuel up to a ton.
    FP-9
    Warhead 800 kg, fuel about 4,5 tons.

The Finns and other lapdogs will sit on the sidelines and bandage their arseholes.

      Well, if history repeats itself, then this is how it should be. Yes

        The only question is what will be left of these dogs, will there be anything to bandage.

    They will launch them directly from there at us. I am far from thinking that the finished UAVs will be transported to Ukraine and then launched towards the Leningrad region.

      Definitely. Some have already said it in various variations, and some have said it straight out: "A Russian is only good dead."

    It is very strange that Helsinki does not understand that with such decisions they are putting their citizens in danger.
    Unfortunately, they understand. They're not currently putting their citizens in any danger. We're not Americans; we're not going to attack the Finns over something as trivial as a drone factory for our enemy! And we won't attack England or Poland... The Yankees would have long ago carried out a conventional carpet bombing, added a hundred Tomahawks, and simultaneously sent in troops and occupied Finland. Declaring Finland a threat to American interests, but now everything will be fine, and Finland will simply become another US state.
    And we're not even targeting the decision-making centers, even though we promised to do so long ago. Not even the ostensible decision-making centers in Ukraine.
    The Finns have nothing to fear.

    What do the Finns have to fear? They understand perfectly well that there will be no reaction from Moscow (except, perhaps, red lines and brown stripes) and no attacks on these pig-plane factories in Finland, but the money will flow into the budget.

      It's not just about money. Drones are the future, after all, and all the Euros want to somehow get involved, master them, obtain these new weapons, learn how to make and operate them.

    We just need to announce: any factories, wherever they are, of the Kyiv regime that work for the Kiev regime will be destroyed and will be destroyed.

      It's really easy to declare. And it's been declared more than once... But what about destruction?
