flag Denmark is buying long-range precision weapons for the first time to counter Russia’s threat, part of a $59.2 billion defense boost.

flag 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. flag Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the move a "paradigm shift," citing Russia's ongoing aggression following its invasion of Ukraine. flag The weapons, which could include missiles or drones, aim to provide credible deterrence by neutralizing enemy missile threats at long range. flag 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. flag The defense ministry will now evaluate suitable long-range options, while Russia's ambassador dismissed the plan as "pure madness," warning of potential escalation.
