Denmark's army is not ready for war - claims Brigadier General Henrik Lynhe of the Danish Army

Copenhagen – A senior military official has claimed that Denmark’s army, a member of NATO and one of the leading European countries, is not ready for war. This statement by the army officers of the NATO member countries becomes noteworthy when countries like Finland and Sweden in Europe prepare to accept the membership of NATO.

‘This is an emergency call. The situation is extremely critical, especially because we lack soldiers like never before. I have been in the Armed Forces for 40 years, and it has never looked so bad,’ said Brigadier General Henrik Lynhe of the Danish Army.

Currently, about 30 to 35 positions stand vacant in the Danish army. Brigadier General Henrik also claimed it would take many years to see its results, even with a large investment made now. He also drew attention to the fact that the leading military units of the Danish army faced a major manpower problem.

In the wake of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, NATO has emphasised increasing its military deployment and defence capabilities in Europe. However, at the same time, the European countries have also insisted on providing massive and continuous arms support to Ukraine. Due to this, European countries have been in trouble, and many leading countries, including the UK and Germany, have brought the matter to the fore that the defence forces have not been fully equipped.

Although NATO countries have not been ready, countries like Finland and Sweden have been making moves for NATO membership, and they will get membership in the next few months, NATO officials have claimed.
