- The $1.8 billion amount is a ceiling estimate, with the eventual price and quantities to be set through negotiations and Danish budget authority.
- DSCA says the sale would strengthen Danish maritime patrol and anti‑submarine capability, improve NATO interoperability, and not change the regional military balance.
