Overview: Denmark’s largest arms procurement
Denmark will spend DKK 58 billion on a new terrester-based air defence.
The parties behind the defence settlement have agreed to buy two Franco-Italian SAMp/T systems, and six middle rows from a yet-to-be-contual European supplier.
This deselects the U.S. Patriot system, which is the most tested Western air defense system. There is too long a wait for the U.S. system, the statement reads.
According to Defence Chief Michael Hyldgaard, the new air defense will be present throughout Denmark.
The first of the new systems is expected to be active during this year, while more will follow in the coming years until all systems are to be operational by 2028 or 2029.

I haven’t met a regretful Trump voter yet. Go beneath the surface of one of those articles about how Trump’s base is deserting him and see if you can find one where it’s more than a single digit number of disgruntled X users.
Those articles may be put forth in good faith, but from what I can tell the authors typically suffer from the same thing the rest of us do - we keep thinking there is something awful enough that Trump supporters will turn on him. Despite everything that transpired from 2016 through 2024, we all keep being foolish enough to think there is anything bad enough for Republicans to put country, or even basic humanity, ahead of Trump.
Sorry, there’s not.
The oligarchs might turn on him though. No one lasts long once their ponzi scheme starts being impacted. And that’s exactly what his trade policies and foreign policies are doing.
I think maybe it’s too late. I also think if it’s not too late (checks outside) doesn’t look like it’s coming any time soon. We’ve all got jobs to go to and kids to feed and healthcare bills to pay for. 2020 was as big as it was for as long as it was because so many people couldn’t go to work anyway. Trumpistan won’t look like that again until things get much, much worse.
