Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.

Man kan ikke påstå andet end 🇦🇷 glæder sig til at få de brugte F-16 de har købt af Danmark 😯

Jeg fik zoologien galt i halsen i morges da vi talte om Fire Points 🇺🇦 nye fabrik i Skrydstrup. De skal lave fast raketbrændstof til 🦩 Flamingo-missiler bl.a og ikke 🐧 Pingviner. Som jeg vist fik sagt. Hør korrespondenten tage fejl omkring 6:32 mandag morgen her 👉 www.dr.dk/lyd/p1/p1-mo...

Christmas party at my wife’s workplace — and yes, I made this homemade ornament myself. I hereby dedicate it to Denmark’s ground-based air defense, which is about to receive its very first piece of firepower. 🎄🎅🇩🇰

Her er det så - de første bidder af Danmarks første #NASAMS jordbaserede luftforsvar. De norske plader vil blive skiftet ud med 🇩🇰 nummerplader.

Store “unboxing” dag for 58 mia kr. Forsvarschef Hyldgaard og Troels Lund Poulsen på vej til 🇳🇴 for at se de første dele af nyt dansk jordbaseret luftforsvar 🚀

🧵 He is here! Trumps new U.S. ambassador to Denmark just landed in Copenhagen - and his first message was crystal clear: Greenland and NATO (spending) are back at the center of Washington’s attention. #Denmark #Greenland #NATO #Arctic #US #Defense

A surprise twist in Denmark’s air-defense plans. After committing 58 billion DKK to a European systems, Denmark is now negotiating with the U.S. to buy a Patriot air-defense battery as well. #Denmark #Patriot #AirDefense #NATO #Europe #Defense www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Crown Prince Christian 🇩🇰 gets the last ride in danish two-seater F-16 before it’s shipped off to Argentina 🇦🇷 Royal Danish Air Force was genuinely royal today 🤙 www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

1️⃣ As part of Denmark’s new 88 billion DKK defense deal, one detail stands out. 🇩🇰✈️ “You can be my wingman anytime,” as the movie line goes — but this one flies without a pilot. Denmark plans to buy Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) — unmanned drones designed to fly alongside F-35s.

Denmark is preparing a new multi-billion defense deal — one of its biggest since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Follow the presentation here, our special journalism forces operator @tobiaslethklinge.bsky.social is on duty www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Uninvited drones - a pattern across Europe? They’ve also been spotted over NATO’s base in Latvia — home to Danish troops at Camp Valdemar. Major General Jette Albinus: Latvia runs continuous operations to detect and counter drones protecting critical infrastructure. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

U.S. military base in Greenland under fire for poor safety conditions! Documents obtained by DR Nyheder show that Danish labor inspectors found serious violations earlier this year — including hangars without functioning ventilation, exposing workers to toxic diesel fumes. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Exclusive access inside Kongsberg’s high-security factory. Here, robots work around the clock producing parts for the Joint Strike Missile - frontrunner to become Denmark’s long-range precision weapon. “A great-power weapon in a small-state solution.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

🇩🇰 For the first time ever, defense tops Danish public priorities. According to a new poll, 15% of Danes now say national defense and international military operations are the most important issue - ahead of healthcare (14%), the economy (11%), and climate (9%). www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Forget Netflix. Saab now wants nations to subscribe to weapons. The Swedish defense giant tells DR it’s moving toward a defense-as-a-service model — continuous upgrades for states instead of one-time buys that age overnight. @tobiaslethklinge.bsky.social www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Hours after Denmark’s intel chief named a Russian warship at a press briefing, it quietly weighed anchor and sailed away. The Baltic Sea has become a stage for subtle — and dangerous — hybrid signaling. #BalticSea #Russia #HybridWarfare #NATO #Denmark

There are many frightening things happening in the world right now. But few as alarming as what’s unfolding inside the U.S. armed forces. Here, NATO’s former top general explains — in just a few words — why this new course is such a profoundly bad idea. Admiral Rob Bauer on LinkedIn:

1️⃣ Two weeks ago, Denmark said it was under drone attack. Airspace over Copenhagen Airport was shut down. Police spoke of a “capable actor.” But that same evening, a small taxi aircraft crossed the area — possibly triggering drone alerts… www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Clashes between Danish and Russian forces have so far lived as anecdotes and background whispers — hard to confirm officially. Today, the confirmation came. Denmark’s intel chief on hybrid war: Russian warships have threatened Danish naval vessels. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Danish Liberal Alliance MP on Israel’s Barak MX air defense: “We lean closely on the Chief of Defense’s advice, which is that we urgently need stronger air defense. We don’t, so to speak, have delicate feelings about where the systems come from.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Og hvordan går det så med dansk politis indsats mod droner? Foto af min gode kollega Karen Wiis Weiss på pletten udenfor Bella Centret og topmødet 🫣

Against all expectations, Israel’s Barak MX air defense system is back on the table in Denmark. Reason: it can be delivered fast, patch an urgent gap in the skies — and “zap” drones. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

🚨Drone over Christiansborg… men det er (vist) politiets 😉

Hold your horses. I may have been misinformed. It could be another aircraft type than a Hercules. But some form of U.S. assistance is still correct.

Hold your horses. I may have been misinformed. It could be another aircraft type than a Hercules. But some form of U.S. assistance is still correct.

Not just the Ukrainians. A U.S. Hercules just touched down in Copenhagen — loaded with high-tech gear to hunt and stop enemy drones.

En amerikansk Hercules er landet i Københavns Lufthavn Kastrup med udstyr til at bekæmpe droner. Forsvarsministeriet bekræfter, at USA også har sendt hjælp til Danmark.

I mellemtiden i Rusland 🤥

After harassment from still-unidentified drones earlier this week, Copenhagen Airport has rapidly stepped up security. A special “Xenta” military drone radar from Weibel - originally meant for another customer - is now spinning above the runways. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Vild dag. Den startede klokken 0700 i Oslo foran hotellet. Nu på vej hjem gennem et mørkt København efter hvad der føles som 37 timers direkte tv 🫣

F-16 i aktion for Ukraine. Sjældne billeder af de donerede kampfly.

Langtrækkende missiler. Flere F-35. Nye fregatter. Men regeringen har kun 17 mia. tilbage i kassen – langt fra nok, advarer politikere, der nu kræver et klart økonomisk overblik - @tobiaslethklinge.bsky.social www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

🚨 NATO says Denmark’s F-35 fleet is far too small. The alliance now demands Royal Danish Air Force boost its fighter force by 60% (1/4) www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Hævnens time? Det ligner, at Ukraine har gennemført en operation mod en af Ruslands fjerneste afkroge, for at få ram på nogle af bødlerne fra Bucha.

Romania detects another Russian drone incursion. “at 18.23, F 16 aircraft detected a drone in national airspace, which they tracked until approximately 20 km SW of Chilia Veche, when it disappeared from the radar…a Russian drone crashed in Chilia” adevarul.ro/stiri-intern...

Denmark has already tested the waters on what it might mean to sideline the US and Patriot. But as with all things Trump, it’s proven impossible to predict. Any sting will be sweetened with a promise: Denmark will soon buy more F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

The record for the largest arms purchase in Denmark’s history may be only hours away from being shattered into pieces. It comes as a massive blow to American weapons. Patriot has been swept off the table, and Denmark is buying European. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

“Realiteten kan jo have været, at man har siddet med en samlet tilstandsrapport over forsvarsområdet, hvor antallet af fejl og mangler har været så enormt stort, så det har været umuligt at fikse det hele.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Tilbage i 2021 var to kolleger et mulehår fra at ryge i benlås. Fordi de uforvarende havde rettet tv-kameraet mod en svensk kaserne på en opgave. Helt så tight har sikkerheden ikke været herhjemme. Hverken nu eller dengang…

⚡️Næste måned ventes to af Hegseths største bomber at lande: National Defense Strategy og Global Posture Review. De kan ryste Europa langt mere end navneskiftet til krigsminister. Første udkast peger på én ting: Mere fri bane til Beijing og Moskva…

“Together, these NATO allied forces will train to counter various forms of destabilising threats.” Hmm. I wonder who… 🤔

Denmark’s intelligence service confirms: there’s a real threat of sabotage and espionage against the Ukrainian company set to produce fuel for long-range weapons on Danish soil. Sharp reporting by colleague @tobiaslethklinge.bsky.social www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Ukrainske Fire Point har flere nye ballistiske missiler på vej. Derfor giver en hel fabrik i Vojens, der skal lave fast raketbrændstof, lige pludselig rigtig god mening. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...
