What reason did Copenhagen police give for not shooting down drones that disrupted airport operations?
Risk was too great due to passengers, planes, and fuel depotsCopenhagen police decided against shooting down the large unidentified drones flying over the airport because the risk was too high, given the presence of passengers, aircraft on runways, and nearby fuel depots. Senior police inspector Jes Jespersen described the drone operator as a 'capable actor' possibly showing off or practicing flight techniques. The drones displayed erratic light patterns and flight behavior, suggesting non-hostile intent, though authorities could not rule out a potential Russian hybrid attack. The airspace was shut down for hours, causing delays and cancellations, before resuming operations. Investigators are examining whether the drones arrived by land or via boats through strategic Baltic straits.
