✈️ Denmark shut Aalborg and other airports after drone incursions as officials labeled it a likely “hybrid attack” by professional actors and weighed a first‑ever NATO Article 4 consultation.
🧭 Context: recent airspace breaches include up to 21 Russian drones over Poland (some decoys), a drone hovering ~50 minutes in Romania’s airspace, and three Russian fighters over Estonia for 12 minutes, all denied by Moscow.
🛑 Copenhagen cites a pattern meant to “stress test” borders and sow fear, while Russia’s embassy in Denmark called speculation about involvement “absurd.”
🛡️ NATO posture: Secretary General says fighters escort intruders out absent direct threat, but Lithuania’s ex‑FM urges a clearer red line to shoot down illegal entries to deter repeat incursions.
🛰️ Defense gap: guests warn NATO is underprepared against slow, low‑flying drones and should rapidly adopt Ukrainian lessons, expand radar/SHORAD, and enhance layered air defense.
🇺🇦 Link to Ukraine: President Trump’s statement that Ukraine can regain all occupied land bolsters Kyiv diplomatically, but experts say long‑range munitions and concrete timelines would turn words into effects. #Hashtags
