Denmark eyes P-8A Poseidon for Arctic security enhancement

Copenhagen explores strengthening its northern defence in response to growing geopolitical pressures.

The latest news on Denmark. We now know that the Nordic country is considering acquiring the US-built P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, aiming to bolster its role in Arctic security amid escalating threats, including Russian naval activity.

The potential acquisition, part of a broader cooperation with Norway, would modernise Denmark's aging fleet and improve its ability to monitor the critical GIUK Gap. While the purchase remains under review, the Poseidon's advanced surveillance capabilities make it a promising asset for NATO's defence strategy in the region.
