Denmark will acquire long-range, high-precision weapons to deter Russia, marking a significant shift in its defense policy. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen cited Russia as a long-term threat, despite no imminent attack. This follows a recent $9.2 billion purchase of air defense systems and a planned military spending increase. The specific weapons and costs remain undisclosed, but the move is a response to Russia's aggression and reflects increased regional tensions. Separately, Denmark continues to oppose US interest in Greenland.
