Showing Original Post only (View all)Denmark to give Ukraine all of its artillery [View all]
Not every country is in a position to do this, but more could!
Denmark is sending its "entire artillery" to Ukraine, the Danish prime minister has said.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Mette Frederiksen appealed to other European nations to do more to help Ukraine in its fight against Russian President Vladimir Putin's invading forces.
"They are asking us for ammunition now. Artillery now. From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery," she said.
"I'm sorry to say, friends, there are still ammunition in stock in Europe," she continued. "This is not only a question about production, because we have weapons, we have ammunition, we have air defense that we don't have to use ourself at the moment, that we should deliver to Ukraine."

Denmark has 19 CAESAR 8x8, which are extremely well regarded. Can easily shoot and scoot.
