Denmark Allocates $400 mln For Drone Surveillance in The Arctic
Denmark has allocated DKK 2.74 billion ($400 million) to strengthen surveillance and intelligence in the Arctic and North Atlantic with long-range drones as part of a more comprehensive framework agreement to revamp its defense and meet NATO goals.
The long-range drones would help monitor increasing civilian and military activity in the Arctic and North Atlantic and ensure Denmark can better comply with NATO goals, the Danish Ministry of Defense said.
"The Kingdom must in the future take greater responsibility for security in the entire region. This means that we need to use more muscle in the Arctic and the North Atlantic," Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said late Thursday.
