🚨🇩🇰🇷🇺 NEW: Denmark has reportedly decided to purchase long-range strike missiles capable of hitting targets inside Russia, according to Danish public broadcaster DR. The government has reportedly selected TWO suppliers as Denmark moves to establish a long-range precision-strike capability. 🇳🇴🇺🇸 1. JOINT STRIKE MISSILE (JSM) Developed by Norway’s Kongsberg in cooperation with US defence industry partners, the JSM is designed for deployment from F-35 fighter jets. • Air-launched precision-strike missile • Capable of engaging land and maritime targets • Designed to be carried internally by the F-35 • Would give Danish combat aircraft a new stand-off strike capability 🇺🇸 2. COVENANT - POSSIBLY THE ANTHEM CRUISE MISSILE DR reports that Denmark will also purchase missiles from American defence company Covenant. The specific missile has NOT yet been officially identified. However, Covenant’s Anthem is a strong candidate, given its intended role as a relatively inexpensive, ground-launched long-range cruise missile. If selected, Anthem could provide: • Mobile, ground-based precision-strike capability • A potential range exceeding 1,500 km, according to earlier reporting, although this remains unconfirmed • A payload exceeding 200 kg • A reported production cost target of approximately $500,000 per missile • Access to a developing European production network, including Germany Covenant has previously announced international orders for Anthem, with deliveries planned to begin in late 2026. IMPORTANT: Denmark’s selection of Anthem is speculation at this stage. DR has identified Covenant as a supplier, but has not confirmed the missile model. WHY THIS MATTERS Denmark announced its intention to acquire long-range precision-strike weapons in September 2025, arguing that air defence alone is insufficient to deter attacks against Denmark and NATO. The reported procurement would potentially provide Denmark with two complementary capabilities: • Air-launched precision strikes from F-35 fighters • Ground-launched long-range strikes, if Anthem is confirmed Together, these would significantly expand Denmark’s ability to hold military targets at risk beyond its borders, including potentially inside Russia. An official announcement is scheduled for 15:30 CEST today, when the government is expected to provide further details.
