Press Release, Berlin, 27 September 2025: [auto-translated] Bundeswehr supports the informal meeting of EU heads of state and government in Denmark with Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) capabilities.
Denmark has requested support from various nations, including Germany, in securing the informal meeting of EU heads of state and government on October 1 and 2, 2025, in Copenhagen. This is in response to massive, widespread incidents involving unidentified unmanned aircraft last week, particularly in the vicinity of civilian and military infrastructure in Denmark.
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and the Inspector General of the Bundeswehr, General Carsten Breuer, decided today to respond to the Danish request for support and contribute to the C-sUAS mission. The Bundeswehr will provide on-site support. Advance forces will relocate to Denmark shortly to coordinate the exact location and procedure with the Danish side. The main forces will follow shortly.
Independently, NATO plans to deploy the frigate HAMBURG and, if necessary, additional units as part of the BALTRIC SENTRY mission.
With this support, the Bundeswehr is making a visible contribution to the security of an important European summit. The informal meeting of EU heads of state and government in Copenhagen serves as a strategic coordination hub at the highest level in a geopolitically challenging situation. The deployment underscores the close security cooperation with Denmark as well as the capacity and solidarity of European partners in dealing with hybrid threats.
