And an upgrade at Kangerlussuaq. If i remember rightly the old US Air Force infrastructure has been sold off to the kommun and the fuel depot to an oil company (BP?).
I wonder if Denmark will build its own fuel facilities or rely on (foreign owned) commercial fuel availability.

According to TV2 the new Part 2 of the Arctic defence agreement will include:

Naval facilities in Nuuk

Army Arctic regiment

Wait, consultants cut corners and deliver shit for tons of money? Impossible.

Stadig ingen håndfaste beviser for ulovlige droner. På Christiansborg nager tvivlen Ifølge DR’s oplysninger er der fortsat ikke håndfaste beviser for ulovlige droner over Danmark. Det får nu flere forsvarsordførere til at reagere.

New Yorker, naturally

I definitely agree. That the Tp102 Gulfstream got a replacement before the Tp84 is completely crazy.

Realistically this means that some of those 7 options will go to Sweden.

Ibland är det bättre att be om förlåtelse än tillåtelse:
Upphandling av elkraftsreserv avbryts eftersom priset blir högre än tillåts under EUs statsstödsregler.

To paraphrase Tony:
The obvious agents aren't the issue, it's the ones you can't see. Keeping the obvious agents around can help you find the dangerous ones.
So kicking out diplomats often isn't a good idea... Unless you want new agents to be rotated in...

Armored Box Launcher - Wikipedia

If the us still has some mk 143 armoured box launchers lying around they could probably be repurposed as a truck launcher.
The actual ground launch tomahawk TELs were cut up at the end of the cold war.

I agree, space based jamming is a feature of the war, but it's not likely aimed at the Baltic's.

I think those wagons are 85m3 which is enough for pretty much anywhere (civilian) outside of Arlanda. Arlanda is rail supplied but I don't know if any other airport has a rail line.

Sverige köper nya transportplan – ska ersätta trotjänaren Hercules Här är Sveriges nya transportplan som ska ersätta trotjänaren C-130 Hercules. Men affären är omstridd och har pekats ut för att vara byteshandel med Brasilien – för att sälja Gripen-plan. – Det stämmer inte, i termer av pris och prestanda är detta en plattform i världsklass, säger försvarsminister Pål Jonson (M).
