Leaks Tie Western Tech to Fire Point Strikes

Ukraine’s drone maker Fire Point is under fire after leaked customs papers alleged U.S. and European components turned up in FP-1 and Flamingo drones used in strikes deep inside Russia. The Telegram-sourced leak claims third‑party imports that may breach end‑user rules, prompting an EU call for an inquiry and a U.S. request for clarification. Fire Point denies wrongdoing. Rivals decry favoritism, engineers cite a 15% FP-1 failure rate, and officials are split as the Anti-Corruption Bureau reviews 2023–24 procurement records. The CEO, defiant, posted: “We build to defend, not to please.”
