Although there has been no damage or injury from a night of drone occurrences at military installations and airports in Jutland, western Denmark, the nation’s defenses have been revealed to be open to attack.<\/p>\n
Denmark, a founding member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) alliance, feels embarrassed that its vital infrastructure has become so exposed in an age of hybrid warfare.<\/p>\n
Drones were observed in Esbjerg, Sonderborg, and Skrydstrup, and the airports in Aalborg and Billund were forced to close. Some of the air force’s F-35 and F-16 warplanes are stationed in Skrydstrup, although Aalborg is also used as a military facility. At Holstebro, drones were also spotted flying over the Jutland Dragoon regiment.<\/p>\n
Defence leaders concluded it was better not to shoot down any of the drones, but it is not a long-term solution. In recent weeks, hybrid warfare has been waged against Norway, Estonia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania. They’re all on the eastern side of NATO.<\/p>\n
This month, both Estonia and Poland invoked NATO’s Article 4 after around 20 Russian drones were shot down and Russian war jets breached Estonian airspace for 12 minutes. Denmark has only stated that a “professional actor” was to blame for the drone attacks it witnessed.<\/p>\n
