"When I was convinced that Stillerman is a "pound" who doesn't understand anything about engineering, that's complete absurdity." Berlinska about Fire Point scandal
Maria Berlinska, founder of the NGO «Aerial Intelligence Support Center», head of the Victory Drones project, co-founder of the Dignitas Foundation, volunteer and public figure, has no questions about the effectiveness of Fire Point’s products and the engineering abilities of its co-owner and chief designer, Denys Shtilerman.
Maria Berlinska, founder of the NGO «Aerial Intelligence Support Center», head of the Victory Drones project, co-founder of the Dignitas Foundation, volunteer and public figure, has no questions about the effectiveness of Fire Point’s products and the engineering abilities of its co-owner and chief designer, Denys Shtilerman.
She said this in an interview on the program «Rendezvous» with Yanina Sokolova.
«You can argue about Fire Point as much as you want — the financial part and some legal part. But I know for sure that there are very capable engineers there. And when they unanimously convinced me that Stillerman is a „pounder“ who doesn’t understand anything about engineering, rocketry, who has never built anything, and was simply put on a „money laundering“ charge — this is complete absurdity. He is one of the best engineers I have met in 12 years of war,» she noted.
According to Berlinska, there are not many engineers of Stillerman’s level in the Ukrainian defense industry, and they «can be counted on the fingers of both hands.»
When asked whether Stillerman is only the nominal, rather than the actual, owner of the company, Berlinska said that this should be dealt with by auditors and anti-corruption authorities, but she herself does not have such information.
At the same time, Berlinska called for not questioning the authenticity of the «Mindich tapes» coming from anti-corruption agencies, and assured that she would come to the defense of anti-corruption agencies if they were subjected to a new attack.
In addition, the founder of the NGO «Aerial Intelligence Support Center» noted the important role of Fire Point’s products in deep strikes and middle strikes on Russia, and assured that Ukraine has the ability to knock out all of Russia’s oil exports thanks to such strikes.
«There will be no Fire Point — there will be no Ukrainian defense industry.» The Ukrainian Council of Gunsmiths called for abandoning «witch hunts» and «quick political reflexes» in the scandalous story with the company
