By the way, it didn’t happen. Test units were delivered to Ukraine in H2. That is a far cry from a situation where commercial production is in full swing.
In connection with the Q3 review in the autumn, the phase was said to have progressed to the flight testing stage. In December, it was stated that industrial delivery readiness would be established during 2025 and that the first product batch has been delivered for use by a unit of the Ukrainian army. According to the release, feedback had already been received from the Ukrainian Armed Forces by this stage, and performance and functionality have been verified in combat conditions, so it might not really be accurate to call it a “test batch” anymore.
“Industrial production” and the volumes involved are, then, rhetoric open to interpretation.
Incidentally, none of Summa’s drone companies are even registered in the employer register.
This has already been addressed earlier in the thread. Completely irrelevant. They don’t need to have a single employee.
Everyone should also realize that the location of a large drone factory in Finland wouldn’t stay secret for long.
Why? What kind of massive factory did you imagine this to be? They aren’t winding their own motors or printing electronics there. Components come from elsewhere, and in the early stages, the actual drone factory is certainly mainly focused on assembly and frame construction.
Indeed, that Summa drone business is a lot of talk but few results. In other words, leading investors on.
Again, I don’t want to pump too much false hope into this company, but what would be the “proof” you’re looking for at this stage before orders are announced?
