Denmark has taken a significant step to strengthen the defense of Greenland by acquiring Hellfire missiles from the United States. These missiles are intended specifically to bolster Greenland’s military capabilities, reflecting Copenhagen’s strategic focus on protecting its Arctic territory amid rising geopolitical tensions in the region. While the procurement relies on advanced U.S. technology, it also signals Denmark’s determination to maintain sovereignty over Greenland. The move illustrates the complex dynamics in the Arctic: Denmark depends on American defense systems to counter potential threats, even as the United States itself increasingly asserts strategic interests in the Arctic, making Greenland a focal point of both cooperation and competition in regional security.
