During the 1st Schleswig War a Swedish-Norwegian brigade of 3,800 troops was deployed in 1849 to North Schleswig & withdrawn 20 July following the Danish-German Confederation peace agreement of 2 July - and prior to the final Danish battle against the insurgents at Isted 25 July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

Two weeks ago outside Danish territorial waters off Bornholm, the Russian corvette Soobrazitelny (531) launched a drone to monitor Danish Stormborn waterborne surveillance drone, which in turn registered relevant data from the corvette via its sensor suite.

Today, 🇩🇰Danish Major General Ishøj took command of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC) in Bydgoszcz, 🇵🇱Poland, which works to turn 🇺🇦Ukrainian battlefield lessons into NATO training, doctrine and interoperability. www.forsvaret.dk/da/nyheder/2...

Indeed. Maybe time for a new version of this one?

🇺🇦Ukrainian local defence plays a significant role in anti-drone defence. During the #Coldwar 🇩🇰Denmark had 40mm Bofors manned by the Home Guard (here Naval Home Guard). Let’s seek inspiration in the past and present and set up local air defence again (HJV history centre FB)

The first public photos of the 🇺🇦Ukrainian land-based Harpoon battery donated by 🇩🇰Denmark in April 2022 with missiles initially supplied by UK, The Netherlands & Denmark w US support Rapidly put together based on experience from the former Danish Harpoon-batteries disbanded 2003

#OTD 1794 a 🇩🇰 Danish squadron of 8 ships of the line under Vice Admiral Krieger unites with a 🇸🇪 Swedish squadron of 8 ships of the line under Vice Admiral Wachtmeister to protect shipping under the League of Armed Neutrality. This continues until the Battle of Copenhagen 1801. #Navalhistory

The signed MOU I really wonder if this will satisfy Israel….

According to Altinget Babcock offers building ship yard in Denmark for the Danish new frigates and signalling they have understood the political power of the Danish maritime industry. NVL has previously offered building one as well. This demand will not increase the speed of delivery.....

Why does today’s story remind me of the Imperial Russian Navy’s biggest victory at the Dogger Bank 21-22 October 1904, when English trawlers were mistaken for Japanese torpedo boats ;-) #navalhistory

Israel and the US have almost no mutual interests - they have partly overlapping interests Regardless of what reportedly will be signed on Friday in Switzerland - unless it highly unlikely meets Israeli strategic objectives - it will only buy some time until the next war…

Yes indeed they are - as seen below

The campaign for the FDI frigate to the new Danish government saw 🇩🇰 & 🇫🇷 ministers of defence Bruus and Vautrin visiting the frigate Amiral Ronarc’h in Copenhagen today. The FDI does not meet 🇩🇰 Navy requirements, but the final selection may be based on other criteria (DK MOD)

As reported in February, Denmark has requested to buy AGM-158 JASSM-ER missiles and the possible sale of 200 missiles has been approved. The total cost would be 842 m USD or about 5.46 bn DKK. NB: Approval does not automatically imply a contract will be signed. www.state.gov/releases/bur...

Six Danes were involved in the air operations during D-day. Jørgen Kjeldbæk (photo) flew one of the Danish Spitfires. The ace Wing Cdr Kaj Birksted was unsatisfied with reporting from the beachhead & took off on an improvised tour in a Spitfire reaching the beachhead at 0600 👇🏻

#OTD 5 June 1848 at Dybbøl a Danish army corps under General Schleppegrel defeated the German 2nd coalition corps under General von Wrangel after a German attack towards Dybbøl, which was met by a succesful Danish downslope counter attack depicted here in Sonne’s painting.

Strategic capacities to strengthen European autonomy especially within ISR and other forms of early warning, as well as for NATO deterrence. The latter part could be almost anything in the strategic field but most likely capacities such as tanker and transport aircraft. 8/8
