Hybrid attacks are by most common definition non-attributable. An attributable attack is not hybrid. This should be at least NATO Article 4 if not directly Article 5.

The 5 new Danish Arctic patrol vessels will cost significantly more than estimated, according to the Defence Minister’s reply to Parliament (see link). As no contract has yet been signed, delivery of the first vessel in 2030 is becoming less likely. www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...

🇫🇮Finnish Special Forces from the Utti Jaeger Regiment will be deployed to 🇬🇱Greenland and 🇫🇴Faroe Islands to take part in the Arctic Endurance 26 exercise. They will be joined by 3 naval officers who will embark 🇩🇰Danish naval vessels operating in the North Atlantic. yle.fi/a/7-10104512

The boy here seen in 1945 became King Harald V following his father King Olav V & his grandfather King Haakon VII as the third king of Norway since 1905. He was also the only of the three being born as a Norwegian prince. Condolences to the Royal family & the people of 🇳🇴 Noway

And since it is litterally off my “road” and not far from our office - here you go Inzhener Trubin (IMO 8502080)

@vesselspotter.eurosky.social · last wk.

Inzhener Trubin #InzhenerTrubin on the move again after anchoring off Copenhagen. Short stop for urgent maintenance/repair?

I cannot stop thinking if today’s trip was a “we know what you are up to - don’t do it” type of trip….

This 1939 project from the 🇩🇰Naval Shipyard for a replacement for the outdated Herluf Trolle class would have been a considerable capability increase for the 🇩🇰Danish Navy. As many other projects in the late 1930s it never materialised and others were acquired too late. #navalhistory

A must at DALO Industry Days to visit 🇫🇮Patria for a shot of the CAVS APC with 🇩🇰SIMA electric ringmount being delivered to the 🇩🇰Danish Army with the new conscript-based mechanised infantry companies among the first receiving it.

🇩🇰Denmark finalises the announced order for 129 🇫🇮Patria 6x6 APCs through the CAVS programme with the first being delivered this year. See you at DALO Industry Days Patria! www.patriagroup.com/newsroom/new...

The 🇩🇰Danish NSM anti-ship missile batteries will be operational within the next couple of years with delivery of the first battery following training in 🇳🇴Norway during 2026. The 162nm range will greatly enhance sea control in Danish waters & sea denial in the Baltic.

As announced today 🇩🇰Denmark acquires the Naval Strike Missile Coastal Defence System (NSM CDS) from 🇳🇴Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace with first deliveries in 2026. A welcome return to an old capacity as outlined below.

Mange med militærhistorisk viden ved at et livkompagni er 1. kompagni i 1. bataljon (regimentschefens kompagni). Livkompagniet i Danske Livregiment var et af hærens to fløjkompagnier. Det andet er 1/I/LG De seneste 20 år har Forsvaret fastholdt at Livkompagniet (tidl DLR) er 2/II/GHR 🤷🏼‍♂️

Det skal nok blive en god eftermiddag ;-)

Danish National TV DR1 has finally focused on prime time real public service - a programme comparing the former Danish Centurion and the Leopard 1 MBTs with live firing etc. Both were still the work horses of the Danish Army when I served so it was pure joy to watch ;-)

The Hesteeskadronen of the 🇩🇰Danish Guard Hussar Regiment had a visit in July from its sister unit from Stockholm, Livskvadronen, of the 🇸🇪Swedish Life Guards Regiment. (Regt FB)

The Danish Army is finally again getting conscription-based units like the re-established 2nd Mechanised Infantry Company, 2nd Armoured Infantry Btn, Jutland Dragoon Regiment. Like pre-2004 it will have a core of contract officers & NCOs. It will be equipped with Patria 6x6 APCs.

Fitting well into the 🇩🇰Danish defence focus area 1, Global Eye capacity may be one of the outcomes of the Crewed Airborne Warning Initiative by Germany, 🇩🇰Denmark, 🇫🇮Finland, 🇫🇷France, 🇵🇱Poland, 🇪🇸Spain and 🇹🇷Turkey to field additional airborne early warning systems. aviationweek.com/defense/airc...

1) Improved situational picture incl. satellite-, sensor- and signals intelligence capacity and improved command & control systems. Global Eye as an example as it reportedly has been discussed with Sweden and Finland.

“Røven af 4. Division” er i dag et udtryk for noget dårligt, men oprindeligt betød det at de Prøjsisk-Østrigske styrker i 1864 kun så bagenden af Generalløjtnant Hegermann-Lindencrones 4. Division, der trak sig tilbage gennem Jylland mens den holdt kontakt med fjenden.

New Danish frigates should be built in Denmark according to an Op-ed by Danske Maritime. Strong industrial & political interests are favouring newbuildings at Danish shipyards, which seems to be ignored by eg Babcock, Naval Group and international media. jyllands-posten.dk/debat/kronik...

Den dyreste fregat er den, vi bygger i udlandet

Når Danmark potentielt investerer 35 mia. kr. i nye fregatter, handler spørgsmålet ikke kun om forsvar. Det handler også om, hvor mange af milliarderne der kommer tilbage til Danmark.

During the 1st Schleswig War a Swedish-Norwegian brigade of 3,800 troops was deployed in 1849 to North Schleswig & withdrawn 20 July following the Danish-German Confederation peace agreement of 2 July - and prior to the final Danish battle against the insurgents at Isted 25 July

Amazing that these Bofors L/70 acquired by 🇩🇰Denmark in 1963 and donated to 🇱🇹Lithuania early 2000s and then donated onwards to 🇺🇦Ukraine are so effective countering advanced drones in the right operational setup at age 63. We should learn from this. And fast.

The 🇩🇰Danish mechanised infantry company (170 all ranks) with Piranha 5 APCs from the Guard Hussar Regiment has arrived in 🇱🇻Latvia as an interim measure to reinforce the FLF until the next Danish mechanised battalion (850 all ranks) is deployed in mid-August. #Strongertogether

We are out of office

🇩🇰Denmark has transferred 10 mobile storage units with climate control support to 🇺🇦Ukraine as part of an initiative of the Air Force Capability Coalition (AFCC). These may be used for F-16 as this one donated earlier by Denmark. Link below.

If I had read this while serving in the army at the end of the #ColdWar I would have discarded it as fiction at the level of Star Wars - plus Ukrainian forces attacking Russian forces would also have been quite mind-blowing….
