Danish PM acknowledges country's vulnerability to drones

Denmark cannot fully defend itself against drones, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has acknowledged.

According to TASS, Frederiksen made the remarks upon arrival at an informal EU summit in Copenhagen.

“We need to discuss joint investments in counter-drone measures and the development of UAVs. Like Ukraine, we clearly have room for improvement,” she said. “But no matter how experienced we become, we must accept that drones may fly over our borders. When someone says that hybrid warfare can be completely ruled out, that is simply not true.”

In connection with the EU summit, Denmark has closed its airspace to civilian drones from September 29 to October 3.
