Fire Point began as a film‑scouting agency before pivoting toward defense technology.
The company now manufactures long‑range drones and missiles capable of striking deep into Russian territory, and it has secured contracts valued at up to one billion dollars within a matter of months.
Fire Point has received endorsement from the Ukrainian president, who highlighted the firm during overseas visits.
The firm’s reputation has suffered due to a corruption scandal involving the president’s inner circle and former associate Timur Mindich, who is linked to a $100 million scheme in the energy sector.
Recent recordings indicate that Mindich exercised control over Fire Point while enjoying preferential treatment from former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
