Danish: Unidentified Drones Re-entered, Seen as "Systemic Threat" by "Professionals"
On the second night of this week, unidentified drones once again flew over Danish civilian and military airports. The Danish Defense Minister believes this has become a "systemic threat" caused by "professionals."
According to the Danish police, these drones were found flying over the airports in Aalborg in northern Denmark, Esbjerg in western Denmark, Sønderborg in southern Denmark, and the Skrydstrup Air Base in southern Denmark, and then flew away on their own.
Last Monday night, some unidentified drones flew over Copenhagen Airport and Oslo Airport in neighboring Norway, causing several hours of flight suspensions at these airports.
These incidents occurred after Russian drones entered Poland and Romania, and Russian aircraft entered Estonian airspace. However, Danish and European authorities have not yet linked these events.
The Danish government insists there is no "direct military threat" and has announced plans to purchase new "drone detection and interception equipment."
Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard stated, "Such hybrid attacks aim to create panic, cause division, and intimidate us."
Denmark is a NATO member state and will host a summit of EU heads of state and government in Copenhagen next week.
General of the Danish Armed Forces, Haldor Geld, said in a press conference on Thursday morning that after a "comprehensive assessment of the situation," the police and military decided not to shoot down the drones, mainly to ensure the safety of civilians.
