Media: During the raid of drones in Denmark there was a Navy ship of

The Danish edition of Ekstra Bladet writes that during the incidents with unknown drones that violated the normal operation of airports in several cities of Denmark this week, including Copenhagen, a ship of the Baltic Fleet of Russia, Alexander Shabalin, was located along with the territorial waters of the country.

The journalists of the publication found and photographed the ship with a specially hired helicopter. According to Ekstra Bladet, Alexander Shabalin is based in the Kaliningrad region, and along with Denmark it has been the last few days. The automatic identification system (AIS) has not been disabled in the monitoring systems of navigation, according to the publication.

Immediately after Copenhagen Airport was forced to be closed due to the activity of unknown drones, in Denmark, they began to discuss the version according to which the base for these drones could be on the ship. According to Ekstra Bladet, the Danish Armed Forces knew that the Russian warship was off the coast of Langelan Island, but they have not yet been commented. The distance from the island to the objects disturbed by the incidents is from 70 to 270 kilometers.

Russia categorically rejected the assumption of its involvement in a series of incidents in Denmark, which this week caused interruptions in the work of airports and touched on military facilities. The Russian Embassy in Copenhagen called “absurd” any hints of it, stressed that it is not related to the flights of drones near Danish airports, Reuters reports.

Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederixen called what happened to the “most serious attack” on the critical infrastructure of the country lately and associated them with “suspicious activity of Russian drones in Europe”. The Danish Prime Minister did not put forward direct accusations against Russia. Denmark’s Defense Minister Truls Lund Polesen, in turn, noted that Denmark has not yet had evidence of Russia’s involvement in launching drones that prevented airports.

The assumption that Moscow may be in the interview, the Associate Professor of the Royal College of Defense Peter Wigo Jacobsen expressed in an interview with Reuters. According to him, Russia “acts on the verge of what could cause a military response from NATO, but not crossing this limit.”
