The recent drone incidents in Denmark were almost exactly 3 years after drones flew near and above 🇩🇰Danish and 🇳🇴Norwegian oil & gas platforms. The large drones were most likely launched from Russian trawlers. Three years warning to act and prepare.

Danish Defence Intelligence Service (DDIS) has published an updated threat assessment and it is as expected if “conventional military threat” means invasion.

It also states “It is highly likely that the hybrid threat from Russia against NATO will increase in the coming years.”

🇩🇰Danish, 🇸🇪Swedish and 🇳🇴Norwegian Police works closely together in Copenhagen to secure the EU Summit in a operation planned for a long time. In a similar way, the three police forces worked together at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 in Malmö, Sweden.

So my boss is now the "hawkish Dane", while I am the "more careful Finnish defence expert" 😂

It seems everything depends on whether you are in Tallinn or Copenhagen 😎

As a consequence of the drone sightings and associated activities and emphazising the severity of the situation 🇩🇰Danish defence has activated several hundred reservists according to Danish TV2. Maybe it is time for more including some of us oldtimers to rejoin the reserves.

Nu var det mere et eksempel at man alle steder globalt hvor der er satellitdækning kan man ikke “forsvinde”. I danske farvande er helt almindelig kyst/antikollisionsradar og kystudkig og udkig fra skibe jo meget nemmere og til dels bedre.

RF - Radio Frequency der i dette tilfælde er skibets elektromagnetiske udstråling.

SAR - Synthetic Aperture Radar der måler energiudstråling fra fx et skib.
