COPENHAGEN – Sweden will support Denmark with military anti-drone capabilities in connection with summits in Copenhagen this week, after drone sightings last week forced Denmark to shut several airports, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Sept 29.
Denmark is due to host European Union leaders on Oct 1, followed by a summit on Oct 2 of the wider, 47-member European Political Community, and said it has increased security around the events after the drone incursions.
Mr Kristersson said in a post on social media platform X that Sweden will send counter-unmanned aircraft systems and that his country separately had shipped “a handful” of radar systems to Denmark on Sept 28.
On Sept 28, Denmark ordered a ban on civilian drone flights after drones were observed at several military facilities overnight. REUTERS
