This is the second similar incident at Denmark airports this week.
Context
On September 22, in Copenhagen, due to several “large” unknown drones, the airport was temporarily stopped, airspace was closed over Oslo (Norway). A few hours later, the UAV “disappeared”, the police began to investigate the incident.
Denmark Prime Minister Matt Fredericksen said this incident was the most serious attack on the critical infrastructure of Denmark and a “dangerous blow” in the state. She said that she does not exclude the participation of the Russian aggressor country. In Moscow, the accusations were called “unfounded.”
The media wrote that the reason for the closure of the airport in Copenhagen could actually be a flight of the Socata TB-20 Trinidad single-engine training aircraft.
