哥本哈根,10月22日——北约成员国丹麦周四宣布,已同意购买首批远程精确制导导弹,旨在增强自身的安全能力,以抵御俄罗斯在欧洲的潜在威胁。这一决定引发了莫斯科方面的强烈谴责。
COPENHAGEN, Oct 22 - NATO member Denmark said on Thursday it has agreed to buy its first long-range precision missiles as the Nordic country seeks to bolster its security to deter Russian aggression in Europe, drawing condemnation from Moscow.
丹麦国防部长耶佩·布鲁斯表示,这些新型导弹系统将大幅提升丹麦的军事打击能力,使该国在遭受攻击时能够对敌方后方目标实施打击。
Danish Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus said the new missile systems would boost Denmark's capabilities and enable strikes "behind enemy lines" if attacked.
布鲁斯对记者说:“我们目前面临日益严峻的安全形势,因此必须加强国防力量,提升作战能力。”
"We're in a serious and deteriorating security situation and that is why we are building up the defence and strengthening our combat power," Bruus told reporters.
俄罗斯驻哥本哈根大使馆在一份书面声明中称,丹麦的导弹采购政策实际上是在与俄罗斯对抗,并警告称此举“必将带来灾难性后果”。
The Russian embassy in Copenhagen, in a written statement, said Denmark's missile policy aims at confrontation with Moscow and warned of "inevitable disastrous consequences".
大使馆还表示:“哥本哈根陷入了危险的幻想——他们认为购买具有攻击性的远程精确武器就能对一个核大国构成军事威胁,从而提升自身的安全保障。”
"Copenhagen is enthralled by the dangerous illusions that purchasing offensive high-precision long-range weapons to pose a military threat to a nuclear power will help strengthen Denmark's security and defence," the embassy said.
去年,丹麦曾表示计划购买远程进攻性武器以应对俄罗斯对欧洲的军事威胁,这一决定曾遭到莫斯科的严厉批评。时任首相梅特·弗雷德里克森曾敦促军方在多年预算削减后尽快采购新武器;这一决策的转变主要是受到俄罗斯在乌克兰战争的影响。
Denmark said last year that it intended to buy long-range offensive weapons to counter a Russian military threat to Europe, prompting a harsh rebuke from Moscow. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen at the time had urged the military to "buy, buy, buy" new weapons after years of budget cuts, a shift prompted by Russia's war in Ukraine.
周四,丹麦宣布已决定购买由美国国防公司Covenant(该公司的产品实际在德国生产)制造的Anthem导弹,以及为F-35战斗机配备的联合打击导弹(这些导弹由挪威的Kongsberg公司制造)。
Denmark on Thursday said it has agreed to buy the Anthem missile made by US defence firm Covenant, which is produced in Germany, and Joint Strike Missiles for its F-35 fighter jets, made by Norway's Kongsberg.
布鲁斯拒绝透露丹麦具体订购了多少枚导弹,也未透露相关采购费用的具体金额。
Bruus declined to say how many missiles Denmark had ordered or how much it would pay.
