Sweden Sends Anti-Drone Systems to Denmark as Copenhagen Summits Near

Denmark has tightened airspace rules to safeguard major meetings in the capital.

Overview

  • Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Sweden will deploy Counter-UAS systems to support security in Copenhagen this week.
  • He said Sweden also shipped a handful of radar systems to Denmark on Sunday to bolster detection.
  • Denmark imposed a temporary ban on civilian drone flights after sightings over several military facilities.
  • Unidentified drones prompted temporary closures at multiple Danish airports last week, and security has been raised for EU and European Political Community summits on Oct 1–2.
  • Attribution remains unconfirmed, though Kristersson said Russia was likely responsible and Moscow rejected that claim.
