Overview

• Denmark’s defence intelligence on Oct. 3 published a threat assessment concluding Russia is conducting hybrid warfare against NATO and the West.
• Officials detailed Russian warships steering on collision courses and targeting Danish vessels and helicopters with tracking radars and weapons in the Danish straits.
• The agency said it is highly probable Russian ships used jamming equipment that caused extensive GPS disruptions in Denmark, and noted a Russian warship anchored in Danish waters for over a week tied to shadow-fleet concerns.
• Copenhagen says there is no direct military threat to Denmark, investigations into recent drone sightings continue, and attribution remains disputed as Moscow denies involvement.
• NATO partners have expanded Baltic operations with added maritime and air surveillance, including the USS Bulkeley joining Baltic Sentry to counter drones, as recent drone reports disrupted Munich Airport and prompted a Belgian base probe.
