Drones, Denmark and dark military magic in a hybrid war
Denmark warns Russia aims to disrupt alliances and halt support for Ukraine through hybrid tactics including drone incursions that increased risks to military facilities, officials said.
- On October 3, 2025, Thomas Arenkiel, director of Denmark's Defence Intelligence Service, said Russia wages hybrid warfare against Denmark and the West, using drone incursions last week to disrupt civilian and military airports and commercial traffic, alarming the six million population.
- Amid growing tensions, officials point to past Russian cyberattacks, jammers in Danish waters disrupting GPS, and Russian warships near its straits as the Kremlin aims to create uncertainty and divisions among allies.
- Secret mobilization of reservists followed unidentified drone activity, and a Friday threat assessment raised risks of hybrid attacks, with Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen warning more are likely.
- With no conclusive attribution, officials note Russia has denied involvement, Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said investigators have no proof of drone operators, while Arenkiel said Moscow seeks to show military strength without direct conflict.
- On September 29, 2025, Ukrainian drone specialists allegedly arrived in Denmark for 'Wings of Defense' exercises, with Ukraine's long-range 800 km capacity key to European defense despite no link to incursions.
