Drone Incursions Over Denmark Spark Preparedness Discussions
AmmoLand ^ | October 7, 2025 | Dean Weingarten

Unidentified drones, equipped with lights, were observed over several Danish airports on the night of September 24, 2025. Flights were disrupted at Aalborg, Billund, and Copenhagen airports for various periods of time. From the BBC, 25 September 2025:

Denmark says drones flown over its airports appear to be the work of a “professional actor” but there was no evidence of Russian involvement, after such activity disrupted its airspace for the second time in a week.

Aalborg airport was forced to shut down for several hours on Wednesday evening after green lights were spotted overhead, while Billund airport also briefly closed. Three smaller airports also reported drone activity.

On Monday, Copenhagen airport temporarily closed due to a drone incursion.

The drones have not been shot down or identified. Because of the proximity to the Russian/Ukraine war, various people have speculated that the drones are related to the war. Danish authorities have been careful to say they do not know who the drones belong to. The Minister of Defense, Toels Lund Poulsen, believes the drones are being operated by “a professional actor”, indicating the operation was likely sponsored by a government.  Some have speculated that the drone operation is a demonstration of capability. The Danish authorities were not able to take down the drones.

No detailed images of the drones were published. The size and type of the drones were not published.  Russia has denied any involvement.

There have been similar incidents in the United States. Particularly during November and December 2024, commonly known as the “New Jersey drone sightings.” Many of the sightings were eventually acknowledged to be authorized drone flights, while others were attributed to manned aircraft and even celestial bodies.

From NPR.com, October 3, 2025:

“Everybody is talking about it,” Trine says about the drones, adding

I don’t believe Denmark is even close to proximity of the Russian/Ukraine war.

It would be interesting to note if the flight pathways avoided safe locations to shoot them down. To me, all this speculation is nonsense until someone does capture one and find out what it is.

I would think firing one of those nets used for riot control would work. Tangle it up and let it fall.

The Europeans learning to protect themselves so we don’t have to is a good thing.

Bobby who lives down the street flew the drone he got for his birthday. The HOA held an emergency meeting and decided to declare a special assessment to be used to build bomb shelters to protect residents from Russian attacks.

Ahhh… hyperbole much?

Over the past 10 years, Denmark has averaged spending about 1.4% of its GDP on defense. Denmark isn’t prepared for anything other than spending a fortune on social welfare at the expense of defense on the assumption that the US would protect them.

The Law of Unintended Consequences. There is about to be unleashed on the world a whole host of professional drone actors as a result of the Russia Ukraine war.
I have no doubt you’ll see criminal organizations start to use them.

Russia is setting the conditions for going to was with NATO, at some point in the near future. Its measuring responses, doing some sabotage in some countries. At home, its stock pilling all modern new tanks [ T90MS ] and armor. As soon as there is a ceasefire or some other long pause of the fighting in Ukraine, Russia will pivot to Europe, starting with the Baltics.

Most of Europe is in the process of preparing their national defense and civilian readiness because of Putin.

You overlook what Putin’s invasion has resulted in, Denmark did 2.4% last year and will do 3% this year and next, most of NATO is raising their budgets in face of Russia and North Korea’s war on Ukraine.

So…. IF THERE IS PEACE THERE WILL BE WAR. Yeah, that makes sense (big league SARCASM).

So, to prevent war we must do all we can to advance existing wars. OK, I’m beginning to comprehend globalist/neocon thinking now. /s

You are correct. Lots of speculation.

Few facts.

Then our "protectors" shouldn't sit on their butts waiting for facts from "higher up."
Take one down and see what it is. With all the non-lethal riot control equipment taxpayers have bought them I can't believe local police and sheriffs don't have a way to do it.
