As reported by the 🇩🇰Danish Air Force the 🇩🇪 drone used for the training was a Heron drone and not a MQ-9B as initially wrongly reported by Danish media (and subsequently by me), but it didn’t change the exercise tasking or outcome. (Flyvevåbnet)

In today’s nuclear weapons debate it is often forgotten that during the #ColdWar many NATO countries incl. Denmark had nuclear capable systems as eg the Honest John (picture) & 203mm howitzers. In peacetime the warheads were kept in a bunker in Meyn just south of the 🇩🇰-🇩🇪 border.

“Røven af 4. Division” er i dag et udtryk for noget dårligt, men oprindeligt betød det at de Prøjsisk-Østrigske styrker i 1864 kun så bagenden af Generalløjtnant Hegermann-Lindencrones 4. Division, der trak sig tilbage gennem Jylland mens den holdt kontakt med fjenden.

The Chinese “veto” against Russian use of nuclear weapons is important and logical. Nuclear weapons are first and foremost poltical and strategic, and not supposed to be used. The first time nuclear weapons are used again, the “lid is off” and the barrier of use may potentially erode for all.
