European defense technology company Stark has announced the opening of an R&D center in Ukraine, according to a company statement. The center will occupy an area of 2,000 square meters and will be designed to accommodate more than 200 specialists who will work on research, development, integration of the company’s systems, training, and technical support.
Stark added that the introduction of such a center will allow the developed systems to move more quickly from design to production.
“Russia’s war against Ukraine has fundamentally changed the security landscape in Europe. Deterrence depends on defense innovation as well as sustainable production,” Maxim Cherkis, COO of STARK Ukraine, emphasized in the release.
In the future, the company plans to further scale both its research and technical presence in Ukraine.
In addition, Stark announced in a press release the opening of a new office in Greece.
Stark is a European defense technology company founded in 2024 and headquartered in Berlin. The team specializes in unmanned systems in various fields. STARK has offices in Germany, Ukraine, the UK, Sweden, and Greece. One of the company’s developments is the Virtus kamikaze drone, which can reach speeds of over 120 km/h before diving at 250 km/h to reach its target.
