Denmark to acquire air defense systems for 58 billion kroner

Investing.com -- Denmark’s government and a broad majority in parliament have reached an agreement to purchase additional ground-based air and missile defense systems at a cost of 58 billion kroner.

The acquisition plan includes a total of eight systems with either long- or medium-range capabilities. For long-range defense, Denmark will acquire the SAMP/T system.

Regarding medium-range systems, Danish authorities will select from three options: NASAMS, IRIS-T, or VL MICA.

The defense systems will be strategically deployed across Denmark with the purpose of protecting the civilian population, cities, military assets, and critical infrastructure.

The first system is expected to become operational later this year, with additional units being phased in gradually over time.
