New drone sightings were reported over Denmark’s largest military base overnight, Danish security authorities said on Saturday.
Broadcaster DR cited the armed forces as saying unidentified drones were seen near military installations.

Surely they would be able to track these drones and find out where they landed.
No don’t ask for tracking drones and evidence! That’s evil and wrong!
Just agree with the media and the state, they’ve never manufactured a war out of nothing before. Especially not in the age of misinformation .
No one else has been invading the airspace of countries near Russia. No one else has been making it a habit to send drones in and then pretend it wasn’t them. Why would Sweden send drones over Denmark? Or Norway? Or Germany? Or Poland? Or Finland? None of its direct neighbors are at odds with them or experiencing any military tensions with them.
There is exactly one regional power that believes it has a claim on the territories of all its neighbors, and all their neighbors: Russia.
It’s Russia. No one seriously believes Sweden or anyone else in the region is sending drones to military installations and airports.
Exactly how? Track military drones how?
Where did it say military drones?
Also radar of course.
They were detected specifically over military installations. You don’t think a group of hobbyist drone pilots got together and randomly decided, “Hey, let’s fly a bunch of drones over Denmark’s sensitive military infrastructure simultaneously, for reasons,” do you?
As for radar, drones are small enough to avoid detection by regular radar systems. They’re hard to track. That’s why they get used in military operations. To detect drones, you need C-UAS radar systems, which are typically installed at military locations - I believe that’s how these drones were detected - but once the drones were out of range, tracing them would be extremely difficult.
So why did the military base not track the drones? Radar systems these days brag about being able to track birds.
Allegedly this was a big drone.
These. Plural. Multiple drones. Multiple military sites. Simultaneously. And it’s funny you mention birds… Without C-UAS systems, radar has difficulty differentiating birds and drones.
So it should be very easy to track one of them.
Military drones are a lot bigger than birds.
The answer to that is no, we’re not currently able to do that. They’re not commercially available drones, and drones are hard to track.
