An interceptor-style drone was positioned near Christiansborg during the Ukrainian state visit to Copenhagen, Ingeniøren reports from photographs taken at the scene. Three researchers from the University of Southern Denmark assessed the images.
Professor Ulrik Pagh Schultz said the aircraft matched a type normally used against incoming drones. The researchers declined to identify its manufacturer, so performance figures for other interceptors should not be treated as specifications for this aircraft.
The outlet also photographed radar and other monitoring equipment during the visit. Denmark's defence minister had said in October that the country had bought interceptor drones, without naming the supplier.
