Today, an additional 3.8bn DKK has been added by the 🇩🇰Danish government to the fund for donations to 🇺🇦Ukraine. In addition, the proceeds from the sale of 24 F-16 to Argentina will be donationed to Ukraine with 0.6bn DKK in 2026 following 0.5bn in 2025. Link below👇🏻

A sick crew member from a 🇺🇸US submarine was evacuated today by the 🇩🇰Danish warship HDMS Vædderen off 🇬🇱Greenland. This underlines Denmark’s dedication to assist any seafarer in distress regardless of his nation’s intent (Arctic Command) Photo not from today’s incident.

🇩🇰Denmark has ordered five new mobile field hospitals for the 1st Brigade from Rheinmetall in 🇩🇪Germany with two being the Role 2 Enhanced and three being the Role 2 Basic. The hospitals are containerised and much more mobile than the older generations of field hospitals. www.fmi.dk/da/nyheder/2...

The 🇸🇪Swedish Air Force Rangers are participating in the Arctic Endurance 26 exercise in 🇬🇱Greenland with a platoon at Kangerlussuaq. A short video has been shared on Facebook where the task and difficult climate is explained: www.facebook.com/share/r/1Jx7... www.forsvarsmakten.se/aktuellt/nyh...

The US is 100% right in Europe has to defend itself and it is long overdue However, I have no illusions about the US and its strategic objectives against its allies. That Rubio presents niceties makes no difference & the optimistic commentaries are naive Hope is not a strategy!

Arctic Sentry is a strategic win for NATO, a significant political win for 🇩🇰Denmark and 🇬🇱Greenland, and a military win for the Nordic region in general and 🇳🇴Norway in particular. To rephrase Lord Ismay it may even: “keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and Trump down”

Important input into the Nordic nuclear weapon discussion:

Fine piece on the defence of Gotland and its strategic location controlling the northern Baltic Sea. Danish plans for the defence of Bornholm controlling the southern part of the Baltic Sea should have substantilly increased capacity as well & used to have a brigade www.thesun.co.uk/news/3815792...

The 🇩🇰Danish defence has exercised the below option and increased the order for 🇨🇦 C8 MRR rifles (M/25) to more than 50,000 rifles for Danish Defence and the Home Guard to be delivered during 2026 and 2027.

The Babcock/Saab Arrowhead-120 is in the game as a contender for the 🇸🇪Swedish Luleå frigate programme. Depending on final specifications for the 🇩🇰Danish area air-defence frigate programme both the Iver Huitfeldt offspring Arrowhead-140 and the bigger 160 may now be contenders.

Jeg vil stærkt anbefale at lytte til denne udgave af @Krigskunst.dk hvis man vil forstå hvilken rolle den danskledede Multi-National Division North i forsvaret af Baltikum og hvordan den er transformeret fra at være en rådgivende, trænende og uddannende organisation til krigsorganisation. Vigtigt!

🇩🇰Denmark increases funding available for donations to 🇺🇦Ukraine in 2026 with 3bn DKK (402m EUR). Denmark subsequently reaches the NATO 2035 target of 3.5% of GDP for defence and security in 2026. nyheder.tv2.dk/live/udland/...

I disse dage hvor Danmark er delvist lukket ned og sneen daler, så bør vi tænke på de 46.000 soldater og non-kombattanter der marcherede gennem sne og kulde under tilbagetrækningen fra Dannevirke den 5. februar og nåede frem til Dybbøl den 7. februar 1864.

I was interviewed two weeks ago by British Forces News about Arctic warfare and the vast challenges of sustaining operations in the far north. Greenland: How hard is it to annex militarily? youtu.be/DagIayTPybc

🇩🇰Denmark joins 🇸🇪Sweden in donation of one complete anti-aircraft battalion with TRIDON Mk2 self-propelled and remotely controlled 40 mm anti-aircraft guns to 🇺🇦Ukraine. Great Nordic cooperation! Bravo Zulu! www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

Today is a significant day in rebuilding Danish defence as the first day of the new national service with 11-12 months service for privates and 23-24 months for sergeants & lieutenants. A drone unit & a long range patrol unit for the Special Operations Command are among the first

Also announced today the new 🇩🇰Danish unit for protection of critical maritime infrastructure with the below vessel will be stationed at Frederikshavn Naval Base. It will have about 50 all ranks. www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

Announced today the new 🇩🇰Danish coastal anti-ship missile batteries with Naval Strike Missiles will be located at Korsør Naval Base and the first battery will be developed from 2026. It will have 100 all ranks incl. national service conscripts. www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

From today’s demonstration in support of 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇫🇴Danish veterans and against the despicable US statements and behaviour against veterans from all nations who served in support of USA through decades - Thank you for service! Great to see many old faces of all ranks from the army!

The 🇩🇰Danish all-volunteer reservist Hjemmeværnet (Homeguard) has been winter training in 🇫🇮Finland and this led to new experience and an interesting mix of Danish and Finnish equipment and uniforms to cope with the cold weather. (P: Hjemmeværnet)

There are many good reasons why the Nordic-Baltic region and UK should go for its own “speed” in Europe and in what is left of NATO.

Good morning Hamburg!

It is indeed time for Nordic nuclear weapons. PS: Denmark did not want nuclear weapons in peacetime. However, US nuclear weapons were smartly placed in Meyn 5km south of the Danish-German border and Danish defence practised using them for wartime until the end of the Cold War.

Open letter to the US from General (Ret.) Knud Bartels Chief of Defense Denmark 2009-2011 Chairman NATO Military Committee 2012-2015

The NATO soldiers who “stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines”…. He has completely lost it

The Commander of the 🇩🇰Danish Army MG Peter Boysen is returning from 🇬🇱Greenland but the Danish operation Arctic Endurance continues. The joint allied operations in the Arctic is headed by the Arctic Command in Nuuk. (FB)

Until 2028 Danish defence will get 31 accommodation buildings for a majority of the 6,500 national service conscripts serving 11-12 mths plus 480 sergeants & lieutenants serving 23-24 mths. This is important as Danish barracks are worn down after 30 years of negligence. www.fmn.dk/da/nyheder/2...

I have zero expectations for the outcome of Rutte's meeting about Greenland as nothing that relates to sovereignty can be part of it. In reality there is no chance it could get approved by the required referenda. Danish PM Mette Frederiksen was also quite clear on this today.

Well, Rutte cannot negotiate any “deals” that has any impact on sovereignty for 🇬🇱Greenland or 🇩🇰Denmark as the government can’t provide him with the mandate (even if they wanted to). Constitution Art 20 demands a 5/6 majority in Parliament or a national referendum www.bbc.com/news/live/cj...

If you are planning a visit to 🇬🇱Greenland - a visit you might not have been encouraged to - or even invited for - these are some of types of 🇩🇰 tourist guides you might encounter…

We have now witnessed a farewell to NATO as we know it and are moving fast to a NATO at different speeds with a coalition of the willing at the core. This core has to acquire the lacking strategic enablers and nuclear weapons & ballistic missile. Rather yesterday than tomorrow.

OK lad os prøve at forhindre fjenden i at gå over isen - vi har som nation og kongerige ikke råd til endnu et 1658….

“US military interventions often occur outside stock market hours” Upcoming days where US stock markets are closed: MLK, Jr. Day 19 January Presidents Day 16 February

🇬🇱🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇪🇬🇧 stronger together!

Today is the last day of the F-16 in the 🇩🇰Danish Air Force after a period of 46 years and extensive use including combat operations. Of a total of 77 F-16 19 have been donated to 🇺🇦Ukraine. 24 have been sold to 🇦🇷Argentina The rest have been decommissioned or lost in accidents

It is not about 🇬🇱Greenland It is about splitting trans-Atlantic relations and burrying NATO as we know it while trying splitting European unity. Then Europe may no longer block the Russian-designed peace deal for 🇺🇦Ukraine & the EU may lose its cohesion Target accomplished….

Har bidraget lidt til en fin artikel på OLFI om de amerikanske militære kapabiliteter i forhold til Grønland og 11th Airbone Division i Alaska i særdeleshed: olfi.dk/2026/01/17/f...

Support by allies! Today 🇩🇰Danish Air Force F-35 fighter jets conducted training in 🇬🇱Greenland. The training was supported by a 🇫🇷French Airbus MRTT tanker aircraft refueling the jets mid-air enroute from Denmark to Greenland’s east coast (Forsvaret)

Soldiers from 🇫🇷France, 🇳🇴Norway, the 🇬🇧United Kingdom, and 🇸🇪Sweden are currently participating in military exercises in 🇬🇱Greenland. More to join. Thursday, they met with the commander of Joint Arctic Command Major General Søren Andersen. (Forsvaret)

It may be drowning in Greenland. It may not be as attractive as new missile systems or fighters, but without logistics it doesn’t really matter. Denmark extends and increases the agreement for trucks with Scania. www.fmi.dk/da/nyheder/2...

Dear media, please check the typical tasks of advance teams prior to a potential deployment. This could be identifying areas for troops, equipment & logistics, which is not straight forward in 🇬🇱. It may be as liaison officers to the 🇩🇰Arctic Command, setting up communication etc

And the advance teams are on their way to 🇬🇱Greenland to prepare deployment of 🇩🇰Danish and allied troops from 🇸🇪Sweden, 🇳🇴Norway, 🇩🇪Germany & 🇫🇷 France. More countries will join Operation Arctic Endurance. Stay tuned.

“Great discussion among equal partners”…. Well, that sentence deserves to be carved in marble if it was actually true ;-) We must hope that the cautious 🇩🇰🇬🇱optimism from the meeting has some basis in reality….

Operation Arctic Endurance has been initiated. Bravo Zulu. www.fmn.dk/en/news/2025...

US, Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark - from when I was young and naive - March 2025 (!) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Perhaps it would not be a bad idea for Denmark to also acquire ICEYE SAR capability. This would be an excellent addition to the Danish-Swedish developed BIFROST space-based surveillance, target identification, and reporting system for the Arctic & North Atlantic www.iceye.com/newsroom/pre...

I would really recommend this talk between @carlomasala1.bsky.social and @anderspucknielsen.dk. I would argue Europe and Russia does not have any mutual interests (besides avoiding nuclear war) and this is one of the fundamental mistakes in European thinking when it comes to how to deal with Russia.

🇬🇱Greenland veteran Kununguak Iversen (48) who served in the 🇩🇰Danish army in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo rightly feels backstabbed by the 🇺🇸US Administration, which now wants to take his land after he fought when USA invoked Article 5. nyheder.tv2.dk/samfund/2026...

“🇩🇰Denmark has reduced its defence of 🇬🇱Greenland and isn’t doing enough” - left hand side 🇺🇸US bases & radar stations on Greenland during the #ColdWar and to the right today. Denmark has increased its defence capacity on Greenland during the last years, while US has done nothing

US State Department has approved a possible sale of 100 AGM-114R Hellfire Missiles and 6 (Longbow) M299 launchers. They will most likely be for the 4 MQ-9B ordered by Denmark in July 2025. www.dsca.mil/Press-Media/...
