Thunderstrike Opens New UAV Production Hub in Odense, Advancing Surveillance & Border Patrol Capabilities in Europe

Odense, Denmark – August 23, 2025  
Thunderstrike has marked a major milestone with the official opening of its new European production facility at Hans Christian Andersen Airport. The 58,000 sq. ft headquarters welcomed dignitaries, public officials, and civil-sector leaders from across the European region for a first look at Thunderstrike’s next-generation unmanned aerial systems (UAS), purpose-built for surveillance, border patrol, and large-scale monitoring operations.

Precision Engineering Meets Operational Readiness
Guests were treated to a live flight demonstration of the Fantom MK2, Thunderstrike’s flagship UAS platform available in both fixed-wing and VTOL variants. Designed for high-endurance missions, the Fantom MK2 delivers 30+ hours of continuous flight, a 45 kg modular payload, and multi-fuel propulsion- offering unmatched flexibility for wide-area monitoring applications.

“The energy and interest at the event reflect a growing demand for reliable, autonomous aerial systems that serve real-world civil needs,” said Thunderstrike Founder & CEO, David Schmidt. “This new facility is a launchpad, not just for production, but for long-term collaboration across the globe.”
