French military to help counter drones over Denmark ahead of EU summit

Germany, France, and Sweden deployed troops and advanced anti-drone systems to protect the EU summit after drone incursions forced closures at six Danish airports, officials said.

  • This week, Germany, France and Sweden sent troops and anti-drone systems to Denmark to bolster aerial security ahead of European Union leaders gathering in Copenhagen on Wednesday.
  • Over the weekend, Danish authorities ordered a five-day civilian drone ban after drones near military sites prompted Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen to call it `a hybrid attack`.
  • Germany will deploy around 40 troops with anti-drone equipment and the German Navy frigate FGS Hamburg F220 arrived Sunday, while France sent a Fennec helicopter and 35 anti-drone-trained staff.
  • Defence ministers from around 10 EU countries agreed Friday to prioritise a `drone wall`, and NATO said Saturday it was upgrading its Baltic Sea mission ahead of EU leaders' meetings in Copenhagen.
  • From the Baltics to the Black Sea, the incursion of about 20 Russian drones into Poland this month exposed holes in NATO air defences, with experts warning Europe must adapt Ukrainian experience rapidly beyond a simple `drone wall`.
