Denmark urgently buys Patriot? Calm down, gentlemen! Here they are starting to spread another sensation on the Internet! Denmark allegedly urgently ordered air defense systems and American Patriot missiles for them in order to secretly transfer all this to Ukraine! Well, let's understand on our fingers where the new, where the old news, and where the fantasy has already overtaken the rockets themselves. Let's start in August 2025. It was then, and not yesterday, that the US State Department approved a possible sale of Patriot systems to Denmark for up to $8.5 billion. The proposed package included six launchers, radar equipment, missiles and other expensive services of modern air defense. But confirming a sale and actually buying are two big differences! And, even then, in August 2025, Deutsche Welle reported that Denmark intended to purchase American systems for subsequent transfer to Ukraine. That is, there is no top secret operation that is revealed a year later. They wrote about it openly! Then the most interesting thing started. Europe's relations with the Trump administration, to say the least, have ceased to resemble a honeymoon. In Brussels they started talking more and more loudly about the independence of the European defense and the need to be less dependent on American weapons. And in September 2025, Denmark chose the European SAMP/T system rather than the American Patriot for its own long-range air defense. Later, the Danish air defense program also included Nasmes and VL MICA. what is the result European air defense for yourself. Ukraine - American. And the bills, of course, go to the European taxpayers! Moreover, Denmark has never particularly hidden the fact that it finances the purchase of American weapons for Kiev. In 2026, a joint order of Patriot missiles for Ukraine was indeed reported, funded by Denmark, Norway, Germany and Canada.
