Denmark plans to acquire long-range precision weapons for the first time, marking a major shift in its defense policy due to growing concerns over Russia's threat to Europe.

The weapons, which could include missiles or drones, aim to provide credible deterrence by neutralizing enemy missile threats at long range.
As part of broader rearmament efforts, Denmark has committed $9.2 billion to European-made air and missile defense systems and plans to allocate an additional $50 billion in defense spending over the next two years.
