Denmark Says Russian Hybrid Campaign Intensifies With Naval Provocations and Drone Disruptions Across Europe

Danish officials say the goal is to pressure NATO without crossing into open war.

Overview

  • Denmark’s intelligence service reported Russian warships repeatedly sailed on collision courses and aimed weapons and tracking radars at Danish vessels and helicopters in the Danish straits.
  • The agency said it is highly probable Russian ships used jamming equipment that caused extensive GPS interference in Denmark, and related investigations are ongoing.
  • DDIS assessed that Russia is conducting hybrid warfare against Denmark and the West, while stressing there is no immediate direct military threat to Denmark.
  • Drone sightings forced a temporary shutdown at Munich Airport and prompted an inquiry over a Belgian military base, following similar reports over Danish airports and a major base.
  • NATO partners have reinforced air and maritime policing with counter‑drone assets, a German frigate deployed to Copenhagen, and the U.S. destroyer USS Bulkeley joined the expanded Baltic Sentry mission as Moscow denies responsibility and President Vladimir Putin mocks the allegations.
