Sputniknews | 28. April 2018 | ~ Danish Company Helps US Military Fight Off 'Swarms of Drones' ~ | .. The Danish engineering company Weibel Scientific has landed a contract for the delivery of special radar systems to the US military, which could be used in anti-drone warfare and has been attributed to Denmark's previous decision to procure US F-35 fighter jets... Although Weibel Scientific CEO, Peder R. Pedersen, refused to disclose any financials on the much-anticipated deal for the delivery of three special radar systems to the US Armed Forces, he hinted that a three-digit million sum is involved (1 Danish Krone equals 0.16 US dollar), with more to follow. "Regardless of this, it's an important contract for us. It's the first part of an order that allows us to sell equipment worth well over a billion kroner," Pedersen told Danish Radio .. | Blogger: [๐ŸŽ–️Denmark - America's Smallest and Biggest Ally๐Ÿ›ฆ] ... The relationship between the United States and the Kingdom of Denmark is strong and long-lasting... More proof that the danish "buyoff" for US F-35 fighter jet program (straight into clandestine U.S. classified black budgets) has boosted by billion(s) new export orders in SECRET military programs from Danish Defence Intelligence Services to aerospace, defense, and security applications... The increased use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in military operations is widely debated in Denmark today. This debate is about the ethical and moral aspects of the use of unmanned systems as well as if and how the Danish Armed Forces could or should us... The "tiny" Kingdom of Denmark - that sprout on the head of Germany - is actually a massive nation pulling in at 12th largest in the world. In terms of geographic size, it's bigger than Germany, Turkey, and France - combined. It's all because in the 1700s, the Danes quietly started stealing an island from Norway when nobody was paying attention. They sent some settlers, built some factories, and were soon its recognized masters. Since then, atlases around the world have been misleading people, misrepresenting the largest island in the Atlantic Ocean as its own sovereign country. Contrary to what you might think, Greenland is not a sovereign state, but a semiautonomous country in the Kingdom of Denmark. The 57,000 people of Greenland have no floating currency, no seat at the UN, and no defense force. For all of these things, it relies on Denmark. In many ways the relationship is like Scotland's with the United Kingdom, but in a move that might keep Greenland from rebelling, Denmark gives the country over half a billion dollars in aid each year. The block grant makes up 60% of the Greenland's annual budget, equating to more than $10,000 for every Greenlander. With Greenland's reliance on Denmark's generosity, the country has been slow to diversify and develop its own economy. Still, for their part, the Danes have a clear interest in keeping Greenlanders happy. The country has a strategically important location... Project Iceworm: the nuclear city hidden under Greenland's glaciers. Camp Century-aka "Project Iceworm"-was a "city under ice," according to the U.S. Army, a "nuclear-powered research center built by the Army Corps of Engineers under the icy surface of Greenland," as Frank J. Leskovitz more specifically explains. A fully-functioning "underground city," Camp Century even had its own mobile nuclear reactor-an "Alco PM-2A"-that kept the whole thing lit up and running during the Cold War. According to Leskovitz, the Camp's construction crews "utilized a 'cut-and-cover' trenching technique" during the base's infraglacial construction... |
