U.S., France and Allies Bolster Denmark’s Anti-Drone Shield for EU Summit

Attribution remains unconfirmed despite a rapid security build-up around the Copenhagen gathering.

Overview

  • Denmark confirmed a nationwide ban on civilian drone flights through Friday and raised the security level for energy infrastructure to orange.
  • The Danish Ministry of Defence said the United States has delivered counter‑drone equipment to support summit protection.
  • France deployed a 35‑member detachment with a Fennec helicopter and active counter‑UAS systems, as NATO increased Baltic vigilance and Sweden offered immediate anti‑drone capabilities.
  • Ukraine sent a military team to share frontline counter‑drone experience and take part in joint exercises ahead of the meetings.
  • Unidentified drones recently disrupted airports and drew hundreds of public reports; Nordic leaders say the pattern points toward Russia, which firmly denies involvement while investigations continue.
