When approached for comment by the Wall Street Journal, Danish Defense Minister Morten Bødskov refused to offer any specifics about the deal but appeared to confirm that Denmark is working with the United States to ensure Ukraine gets the weaponry it needs. The Danish government has so far not only refused to confirm what variant of the Harpoon missiles and missile systems will be sent to Ukraine but also refused to confirm the new plans altogether. Some 22 tons of grain remain stuck in Ukrainian ports, with Russia refusing to allow the ships to leave without Western countries lifting some of the many economic sanctions levied against Russian financial institutions in recent months.Įven after Austin publicly expressed his gratitude to Denmark for supplying new missiles to Ukraine, the Danish government refused to comment on the matter. WASHINGTON, ApThe State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of India of ten (10) AGM-84L Harpoon Block II air launched missiles and related equipment for an estimated cost of 92 million. The AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile (SLAM) and later AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER (Standoff Land Attack Missile Expanded Response) are cruise missile variants. Not only will the missiles assist Ukraine in fighting Russian ships, which may be used as platforms for firing long-distance missiles at mainland Ukraine, but they could also assist in the clearing of the ports. The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security ).
