Denmark’s defense minister wants to call up more conscripts. Facing challenges in both the short and long term - including a demanding mission in Greenland - he says more young people must be drafted, and fast. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Denmark’s defense minister Troels Lund Poulsen comments after the U.S. Embassy in Copenhagen removed 44 flags honoring soldiers killed in Afghanistan. He says the issue now seems resolved and the flags may remain - but calls it “a sad and unfortunate case.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Snow is snow - and snow gets cleared. No matter what 😬 The Danish royal couple has arrived in Vilnius, Lithuania 🚨

Farewell to Estonia - a group photo taken by Estonia’s defense minister, Hanno Pevkur, at the CR14 cyber defence range. The 🇩🇰 royal couple now heads on to Lithuania 🇱🇹

Until tonight, I never thought I’d find myself standing one meter from a 🇪🇪 military band playing Denmark’s national anthem, “Kong Christian stod ved højen mast”. 🎺👏

The Danish royal couple’s state visit to Estonia 🇩🇰🇪🇪 👑 Follow the thread below, where I’ll be sharing photos along the way. First, an article explaining why small states are strongest when they stick together - in what can only be described as an age of predators. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Landing in Tallinn. Covering the Danish royal couple’s state visit to 🇪🇪 and 🇱🇹 Security policy dominates - and both guest and hosts now share one reality: Living under the spotlight of a great power that wants a piece of them 🇷🇺🇺🇸

Hope you slept well, fellow Europeans. Because this bomb just landed: Greenland is key U.S. terrain - like “Gulf of America”. Russia is the neighbors’ problem. Europe is on its own - new force posture exp.

Denmark was ready to resist! Here’s the classified order that rushed Danish troops north - with live readiness ammunition and authorization to fight: “The Armed Forces must strengthen their ability to execute the defense plan for Greenland as quickly as possible.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Denmark’s military build-up around Greenland continues. One of the Navy’s most capable ships has joined Operation Arctic Endurance. According to DR, it’s the air-defense frigate HDMS Peter Willemoes, now heading for the North Atlantic. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Despite tariff threats France is sending more military support to Greenland. The frigate Bretagne is deployed, and Arctic elite troops will follow, France’s ambassador says. “The very existence of the Kingdom of Denmark is at stake. And so is the fate of NATO and the EU.” www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Around 100 Danish soldiers are currently stationed on or near U.S. military bases worldwide. An expert warns Denmark may need to bring them home if the crisis escalates - worst case, they could become prisoners of war. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

(1/2) Denmark’s Armed Forces have released new photos of F-35s flying over Greenland. According to DR’s information, the Danish Army’s special forces Jaeger Corps are also part of Operation Arctic Endurance (full story in post 2).

BREAKING: A full-scale airlift is running around the clock, transporting troops and military equipment to Greenland. The operation is extensive, “beyond anything we’ve tried before,” a source tells DR. Danish F-35 fighter planes and warships from European allies involved. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

The Danish Armed Forces have released new photos from the operation that, over the past few days, has deployed Danish and allied reinforcements to Greenland.

BREAKING part 4: Norway, Sweden, Germany and the United Kingdom are contributing forces to the operation in Greenland. As of this evening (Danish time), two Royal Danish Air Force Hercules transport aircraft are airborne en route to Greenland. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

BREAKING part 3: Denmark is not acting alone. Several European allies are in dialogue with Copenhagen about providing military reinforcements to Greenland. Preparing for the arrival of allied forces is a key task for the advance unit now on the ground. www.dr.dk/tjenester/ki...

Can someone pass him a note: HOW DO YOU THINK WE GOT OUR LAND?!? We landed here on a f****** boat 500 years ago 😂🙌

"Would this be a simple operation to intimidate the locals? Or would we have to fight the soldiers of a nation I had served with on combat operations, trained with at school, and who are our allies?" A fictional story of a U.S. military #Greenland expedition. mickryan.substack.com/p/the-greenl...

Historic and intense days for the Kingdom of Denmark — including for those of us in the media. Today in the studio with Rasmus Sinding Søndergaard from DIIS, whose analyses frequently feature on major outlets like BBC and CNBC 🇬🇱🇩🇰

“The United States threatening to seize Greenland by force from an ally that lost 50 soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan destroys American credibility around the world. Every nation that depends on U.S. protection is taking note. So is every adversary.” www.military.com/daily-news/i...

(1/8) The mission is to defend Bornholm in the heart of the Baltic Sea. Denmark’s newest regiment just received new armoured vehicles. This regiment also holds the key for danish troops once again to be deployed - Ukraine, Greenland… Its mission goes far beyond the Baltic - a 🧵…

First look at the Danish Army’s new Patria armoured personnel carriers. A key element in defending strategically vital Bornholm in the Baltic Sea — and the same unit earmarked to lead any future reinforcement of Greenland.

One of the international organisations Trump is withdrawing the US from. Putin probably sent a fruit basket. Full list www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

A former Danish Chief of Defence takes us inside the engine room. He explains what he sees as the most likely threat to Greenland — and the standing order that requires every Danish soldier to fight if the Kingdom is attacked. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

(1/2) Trump keeps mocking Denmark over “just adding another dog sled patrol” to defend Greenland. But it’s still not true! In one year Denmark has invested 40 billion DKK in Arctic security — including the creation of a high-mobility Arctic reaction patrol. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

(1/2) “It’s hard to be a nissemand.” Tårnhøjt SoMe-game fra Kongehuset 😆✌️ Glædelig jul og godt grin til alle på en dag, hvor Trump (igen) kimer med klokkerne 🎄🇬🇱🇩🇰

A cartoon in one of Denmark’s biggest newspapers, Berlingske, following our story on consultants once again roaming the armed forces 👏😂 Caption reads: “Good news, boss. The Danes have hired McKinsey again to ‘streamline’ the military.”

(1/3) Denmark is being forced to reshuffle naval assets under pressure. After an Arctic patrol vessel broke down in the North Atlantic, the Navy had to pull a ship from Baltic and danish patrols - including monitoring Russia’s shadow fleet - and send it north. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Denmark’s military intelligence service has now officially attributed two specific cyberattacks against Denmark to Russian hackers linked to the regime in Moscow. In response, Denmark is summoning the Russian ambassador for talks. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

Tæller den som en forsvarsudgift til Nato?

Meet the newest vessel in the Danish Navy. Currently named Norwind Helm, it’ll be painted grey, refitted with new gear, and tasked with monitoring critical subsea infrastructure. A new name is coming. What should Denmark call it? ⚓️🇩🇰 #Denmark #Navy #Subsea #CriticalInfrastructure #Defense

Denmark is buying Kongsberg’s NSM Coastal Defence System (NSM CDS) — the same land-based anti-ship missile system used by the U.S. Marine Corps and NATO allies Poland, Romania and Latvia. With this deal, Denmark becomes the 5th NATO nation to field the mobile NSM coastal defense capability.

(1/3) A tight Swedish Christmas tree formation of fighter jets over Copenhagen today — topped off with a couple of Danish F-35s and an F-16 as the “tree trunk.” 🎄✈️🇸🇪🇩🇰

Exactly.

Wow! Holy s***❗️En ubåd trygt ved kaj i en flådebase sat ud af spillet af en undervandsdrone 🇺🇦 Next level dronekrig

Danish senior officers are now speaking out about their experiences with civilian consultants brought in to “optimize” the armed forces. In one case, a colonel had to convince them not to cut the air base’s nighttime fire crew. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

Remember when McKinsey told Danish politicians they could easily save billions on defense? That analysis turned out to be wrong. Yet the consultants are back — this time hired once again to “streamline” the Danish Armed Forces. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

This article sends a chill down my spine. It’s proof that Putin’s dream has come true: the big and strong forming their own circle in the schoolyard — writing the rules and making the decisions — while the smaller ones stand on the outside, wringing their hands. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

(1/2) Ukraine går benhårdt og målrettet efter Ruslands skyggeflåde. Endnu en tanker stoppet i Sortehavet. Østersøen er også en vigtig rute for olie-skyggeflåden. Ser vi sådan en video fra Østersøen en dag?

1/2 In spite of years of talking and scheduling great plans… Russia still produces more military hardware and ammunition than Europe. And… it’s more uncertain than ever if US will come to the rescue. Gloomy new report from Danish Defence Intelligence Service (FE).

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
