“Naval mines give us a strategic advantage in terms of controlling and protecting Danish waters,” added Chief of the Naval Command Søren Kjeldsen.

“They create an effective opportunity to prevent unwanted ships from entering key areas, strengthening our overall defence capability.

“In view of the increased uncertainty in the Baltic Sea, it is essential that we can respond quickly to threats. The sea mines will help to secure our sovereignty and strengthen our ability to deal with potential threats and take care of the kingdom.”
