This Friday (26), new drones of unknown origin returned to fly over Amager, Denmark’s largest military base, according to local police. This represents another episode of unmanned aircraft flying over European skies. Governments point to a coordinated Russian offensive, but Moscow denies the accusations.
The episodes in Denmark, a country that is part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which provides for a mutual defense pact among members in cases of third -party attacks, began two days after the Nordic country announced that it would acquire long -range accuracy weapons for the first time. Acquisitions occur because they point to Russia as a threat to “the coming years.”

To the AFP agency, the police officer in charge of the area where the drones were spotted, Simon Skelsjaer, said “one or two drones were seen outside the air base and above it” and stayed there for “several hours.”
In addition to Denmark, in September, drone flights were also recorded in Poland and Romania.
Another to position himself was Germany’s Minister of Defense, Alexander Dobrindt, stated that the German army will take “measures to defend himself,” claiming that the drones threat was considered high.

“We need to act quickly […] And we need to learn all the lessons of Ukraine and build this anti -ron walls with Ukraine, “European Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius told AFP.
Last Thursday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned that her country had already been “a victim of hybrid attacks,” pointing to an unconventional war, and blaming Russia.
“There is a country that represents a threat to European security, and this country is Russia,” he said.
In response, the Russian embassy in Denmark rejected the accusations, claiming a “staged provocation.”
