The Danish Ministry of Defense has announced its decision to withdraw all military experts from Iraqi and Syrian territory to combat imminent threats to the kingdom. This is stated in a press release from the ministry. TASS.
Danish military experts have been on the territory of Iraq and Syria since 2016 and participated in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist organization (the organization is banned in Russia). They worked in the field of air defense.
Colonel Bjarke Lomborg, head of the Danish air defense unit Air Control Wing, said the troops were partially withdrawn because the number of ISIS fighters in these countries was so low that they were no longer needed and that the unit had to restart the war. The strength to counter threats observed “at close range from the United States”.
