Gloomy threat assessment prompts Denmark to urgently acquire new type of weapon
By next year at the latest, the Danish Armed Forces will be able to place ground-based air defense at selected locations in Denmark.
More than 20 years after Denmark abandoned ground-based air defense under the impression of peace in the immediate area, a bleak threat assessment is leading to the urgent acquisition of three new systems.
Together with the broad majority of parties behind the defense agreement, the government has decided to spend over 6 billion DKK on three short-range systems from German Diehl Defence, Swedish Kongsberg and MBDA France.
