Morning opening: Drones paralyse Nordic airports​

Jakub Krupa
The airports in Copenhagen and Oslo, the two busiest in the Nordic region, were shut for hours last night after drones were observed in their airspace late on Monday, leaving tens of thousands of passengers stranded as flights were diverted, delayed and cancelled.
The Danish and Norwegian authorities are understood to be in contact in case the two incidents were linked, NRK reported.

Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen told broadcaster TV2 in a written comment that the disruption at Copenhagen was “the most serious attack on Danish critical infrastructure to date.”

“It says something about the times we live in and what we as a society must be prepared to deal with,’ she said, adding the authorities were “not ruling out any options in relation who is behind this.”

“… Three flights were canceled today, and twelve departures and arrivals were disrupted yesterday.

The disruptions were caused by a service from U.S. company Collins Aerospace, which provides key airport systems and was targeted in the attack. Similar interruptions have been reported in Brussels, Dublin, and London. The perpetrators of the attack remain unknown.“
 




“… NORAD said Russian military activity in the ADIZ is common and not considered a threat, but it was the latest in a series of flights by Russian aircraft seen by many as testing the preparedness of U.S. and allied NATO nations. It came as officials in Denmark continued investigating still-unattributed, large drones that flew close to Copenhagen Airport on Tuesday and Wednesday, disrupting traffic.…”

I read this as a sign of weakness. I haven't been following the day to day to day minutia of the war in Ukraine and the Russian economy. But this is precisely how they would act if they new they were running out of economic and military runway, at least that's my uneducated read.

While I do not invite WWIII, does anyone else think it is just about time that NATO nations launch a barrage at Russian air bases that cripples their entire air arsenal?
