Please stop this nonsense about “offensive” weapons in relation to Ukraine. Ukraine should have all the weapon systems, training, spare parts, financial support, ammunition and intelligence necessary to kick out Russia from Ukraine and to ensure they never return.

First SM-2 missile launched from the Danish frigate Niels Juel off North Norway last night. This finally makes the three Danish Iver Huitfeldt frigates true area air defence frigates. Next step likely to be SM-6.

I nat blev det første danske SM-2-missil affyret fra fregatten Niels Juel i et øvelsesområdet i Nordnorge. Det er en vigtig milepæl for vores fregatter af Iver Huitfeldt-klassen. Det betyder, at fregatterne nu vil blive i stand til nedskyde fjendtlige fly på lang afstand.

And here they are - the ex-Danish Leopard 1A5DK (at the German company FGG) which I referred to below in my suggestion to be donated to Ukraine. We had 230. (Photo: Martin Lind).

I would suggest the Danish government to seriously consider buying back the 120-160 ex-Danish Leopard 1A5 DK currently held by German company FFG and donate them to Ukraine (with end-user certificate) maybe in cooperation with UK and US, so the Bundestag has no more excuses.

Holy Saint Barbara!! These are ex-Danish M101 105mm howitzers, where 72 were donated by Denmark to Lithuania 2001-04 (they even still have the Danish numbers). Originally donated by the US as part of the 182 M101 package in 1950. History repeats itself....

Most likely ex-Danish 🇩🇰 M101 105mm howitzer donated to 🇱🇹Lithuania 20 years ago and then donated by Lithuania to 🇺🇦Ukraine. In 1950 they were donated by 🇺🇸 to 🇩🇰, but still going strong at 74+ years.
Here’s what a 105mm M101 mentioned below looks like in action. Lacking the range of the more modern L118/M119, it’s still a reliable piece of kit that Ukraine can put 100s of rounds through each day.

Now, apparently, the top of defence and defence acquisition, has decided to go back to ATMOS to replace CAESAR without acknowledging the fundamental changes in operational environment since 2014, selection of artillery in partner countries and not least NATO requirements. 4/6

Great with today’s 🇸🇪Swedish 1bn SEK (89m EUR) addition to the 🇩🇰Danish 1.8bn DKK (241m EUR) for the joint project of CV90 for 🇺🇦Ukraine. With an average price of 8.5m EUR it equals ca 39 CV90. We can also hope the 🇩🇰 part is a warm up to acquire CV90 for the heavy brigade…🤩

Much awaited mid-life update of the Danish CV90 fleet. It will follow the Dutch mid-life update version with only a few variations. The next contract will likely be for additional CV90 for the heavy brigade.
