    RT @NocnaZ (Mesuret): 🇩🇰 Denmark’s Procurement Revolution: Playing on Two Fronts, Europe’s Opportunity. Denmark is reshaping defense procurement. As reported by @CarnegieEndow, Copenhagen has selected the Franco-Italian SAMP/T NG (Thales/MBDA) over the US Patriot - this is the first export contract, signed on April 21, 2026, with deliveries starting in 2028. This is a response to U.S. uncertainty and delays in American deliveries. Denmark participates in the EU’s SAFE programme, invests in European sovereignty, but does not abandon NATO - playing on two fronts. Ongoing Projects: SAMP/T NG: Denmark will acquire the Franco-Italian air defense system (MBDA/Thales) instead of Patriot. Benefits: full integration with European networks (ESSI), lower operating costs, and industrial cooperation with France and Italy. CAVS: Denmark has joined the Patria 6x6 armored vehicle programme (manufacturer: Finland), ordering 130 units (first delivery: December 2025). Other participants include Sweden, Germany, and Latvia. ESSI: Denmark is investing in IRIS-T SLM (manufacturer: Diehl Defence, Germany) - a contract for additional fire units was signed on December 4, 2025. It is also leasing NASAMS from Norway (Kongsberg) and purchasing VL-MICA from France (MBDA). The entire ground-based air defense programme is budgeted at DKK 58 billion (~€7.8 billion). Naval Vessels: Denmark plans to replace its three Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates with new multi-role vessels. Naval Group (France) is one of the candidates, offering its FDI frigate. The FDI is a multi-mission warship designed for high operational availability and equipped with advanced digital systems to counter submarine, aerial, and surface threats. In the European market, Naval Group’s FDI traditionally competes with BAE Systems’ (UK) Type 26 frigate, Navantia’s (Spain) F-110, and Fincantieri’s (Italy) offerings. Denmark demonstrates that Europe can be self-sufficient, with beneficiaries including manufacturers from France, Italy, Finland, Germany, Norway, the UK, and Spain. European companies are gaining new markets, while Europe gets a chance to reduce its dependence on the U.S. The greatest challenge remains time - Europe must quickly fill its gaps without sacrificing long-term independence. #Denmark #Greenland #Forsvaret #NATO #EU #Defence #Military #DanishStrategy #SAMPT #EuropeanDefense #EUSovereignty #Procurement #CAVS #ESSI #FranceDenmark #DefenceIndustry #FDI #Arctic #BalticSecurity #NordicDefence @forsvaretdk @Forsvarsmin @AndersFoghR @jensstoltenberg @Statsmin @diisdk @RasmusGB @steenulnits @JeppeBruus @larsloekke @troelslundp @JeppeKofod @RFI @malte_humpert @MadsKorsager @MikkelVedby @PeurAvion @L_ThinkTank @top_force @kurrild @HthHans @OJoelsen @CarnegieEndow @SophiaBesch @f_kopczewski @FSN_SE @politiken @btdk @defindustryeu @ArmyRecognition @navalgroup @MBDAGroup @ThalesGroup https://t.co/WuI0Sd25rt Manufacturers' photos (Type 26, F-110, FDI)
