‘Denmark is on high alert after reporting several drone incursions’ • FRANCE 24 English

A mood of tension hangs over Copenhagen. A German warship has just docked. Its mission to help protect the EU leaders meeting here Wednesday. On land, residents can’t help but stare at the imposing vessel. It’s a make me relax. It can take down drones. It’s just presence and saying we are here so please don’t make anything bad to us. Denmark is on high alert after reporting several drone incursions in recent weeks. 35 French soldiers are already on the ground. France, the US, and Sweden have also sent anti- drone systems. But for many Danes, the deployment only underlines their country’s military vulnerability. It’s definitely scary. We’re not prepared for it. Food. Some residents are now bracing for the worst. Sarah just bought one of the survival kits distributed by the Danish government. Earlier in the year, people in the EU were advised to stockpile enough food, water, and essentials for 72 hours. Part of a strategy to increase readiness in the event of a military attack or other national crisis. I got quite scared and I really wanted to do something have a little less anxiety feeling. The anxiety isn’t unfounded. Four times last week, two mysterious drones were spotted over military bases and airports across the country. At the same time, three ships with Russian links were spotted off the Danish coast. Investigations are ongoing, but authorities say they may have served as launch pads for the drones. Denmark is among Europe’s biggest donors to Ukraine and also hosts a factory that produces fuel for its longrange missiles.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday that Ukraine was deploying an anti-drone military team to Denmark “for exercises”. Denmark has seen repeated airport closures in recent weeks over drone sightings that have ramped up fears about a heightened threat from Russia.

  3. What you all need to understand. More weapons is not equal to more peace. More talk and tollarance is equal to more peace. Disband NATO or take it back to 1990 borders. View from India.

  6. If Denmark can’t defend itself, it sure as hell can’t defend Greenland. Let USA have Greenland so it can be PROPERLY DEFENDED against Russia and Chinese aggression.

    Denmark has smaller GDP than Colorado lol

  8. they are becoming what they said they would never be. a totalitarian organisation using terror and control on the masses. Especially nordic countries like denmark.
    I don't want to be in the EU with these people: abusive feminism, extreme ideological socialism, such a load of horrible things. I had patience, now I don't care.
    And yes, I cared for "your" Greenland, but maybe Trump is more sane than you! At least he doesn't preach fake ideas, he is plain and simple.

  13. We don't know who is doing it but it is certainly not the country that blew up Nordstream and bore absolutely no consequences for it. 🫠
