Denmark Allocates 15 Billion DKK ($2.1 Billion) for Arctic Military Expansion, Including Two Drones and Three Patrol Vessels
Jan 27, 2025, 07:37 PM
Denmark has announced a military investment plan of 15 billion DKK (approximately $2.1 billion) to enhance its presence in the Arctic. The initiative includes the acquisition of two long-range drones, in addition to two previously planned in 2021, and three new Arctic patrol vessels to replace four aging Thetis-class offshore patrol vessels. The investment also aims to increase satellite capacity and provide basic training in Greenland. This decision comes amid heightened security concerns and interest from former U.S. President Donald Trump regarding Greenland's territorial control.
