Architect-turned-drone CEO Iryna Terekh leads Ukraine's deep-strike capabilities

Iryna Terekh, a 34-year-old trained architect, leads Fire Point, a key player in enhancing Ukraine's long-range strike capabilities amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. She actively participates in significant international defense exhibitions, engages with arms manufacturers, and contributes to conversations regarding Europe's military buildup. During the Farnborough International Airshow in the UK, she had an interview with Agence France-Presse in central London’s Mayfair. A month prior, at the Eurosatory defense exhibition in France, Fire Point showcased footage of a Moscow oil refinery ablaze after a drone strike. Terekh chose not to present in Britain, stating, "The next step has to be even better," as she aims for a more impactful future appearance. Dressed in a white top, beige jacket, and wide-legged jeans, her ponytail sets her apart in a male-dominated field.
