Denmark also gets drones and water systems that can be monitored and detects unwanted underwater activity.
Denmark will direct nearly 4 billion kroons ($ 614 million) for the construction and purchase of 26 Navy ships for patrol, responding to oil spills and monitoring of underwater cables. This was announced on April 22 by the country’s defense minister Lund Powlesen, Reuters reported.
It has been noted that Denmark also gets drones and water systems that can monitor and identify undesirable underwater activity.
The threats we face at sea today are more serious than a few years ago. In particular, we must respond to a threat from Russia. Through an agreement with the Naval Plan, we initiated some urgent purchases, which is the first step to ensure that defense of the Denmark sea can withstand a wider spectrum of threats, Pulesen’s statement said.
As the Danish government mentioned, it is interesting that many of these ships will be built in Denmark, including cooperation with NATO allies.
As you know, after more than ten years a significant reduction in Denmark defense costs last year has allocated 190 billion Danish crowns for its armed forces over a 10-year period.
Denmark, first of all, aims to protect underwater cables and pipelines for producing and transferring energy, as well as strengthen protection against the potential threats of the Maritime environment in Danish water from the Russian shadow of the Russian shadow.
Earlier, Denmark’s Ministry of Defense reported a contract for the purchase of 130 patria armored personnel carriers. The value of the contract is 1.9 billion kroons (over 250 million euros).
Remember that Denmark, along with other countries last year, invested nearly $ 650 million in the manufacture of Ukrainian defense products.
