Zelensky said Ukraine hopes to begin initial testing of the new Freyja anti-ballistic missile system this winter, Ukrinform reported. The system is being developed jointly with European partners, and Zelensky made the remarks in Copenhagen on Wednesday alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. He thanked the Danish defence industry and other partners, saying Ukraine cannot build the system alone and that it matters for the security of all of Europe. Ukrinform reported that the system is intended to combine Ukrainian missile technology with European radars, sensors and command-and-control systems. Companies involved include Eurosam, Leonardo, Thales and Saab, while Ukrainian firm Fire Point, maker of the Flamingo cruise missile, is the lead industrial partner. Fire Point also announced an agreement with Germany's HENSOLDT to supply a radar. Ukrainska Pravda reported that Frederiksen said Denmark could provide radar systems for the programme.
