Risk Intelligence CEO Hans Tino Hansen shared his insights with The Times on Denmark’s domestic security challenges following recent drone incidents.

Published on 1 October 2025, the article highlights Denmark’s vulnerability following recent drone incidents that disrupted national security and exposed gaps in its defence readiness. Hansen highlights that, despite Denmark’s rapid rearmament and strong support for Ukraine, the country has been sleepwalking when it comes to domestic security. He notes that this lack of preparedness leaves critical infrastructure and internal systems exposed, creates opportunities for adversaries like Russia to exploit weaknesses, and undermines NATO’s credibility by signalling that provocations can go largely unchecked.
