@dillonrpayton: That was the initial line of questioning from @RepMessmer, which the General sidestepped.

I couldn't believe this so I checked and its true.
The Danish MoD is leasing a NASAMS unit from Norway, and procuring an IRIS-T (🇩🇪) & MICA (🇫🇷), all as interim measures.
A decision will be made later this year on what system to adopt as a permanent solution. https://twitter.com/HthHans/status/1932483070940049583#m

@Drecas_2000 @oroborous @Jeff21461: IFPC & MRIC are MRAD systems. NASAMS in the default config is 50% US by individual Fire Unit components (radar & effector) and 50% Norwegian (launcher and Fire Distribution Center), but overwhelmingly US by total system value (radar and munitions are the most expensive part).

@oroborous @Jeff21461: No, buying 3 different MRAD systems is just stupid.

@sniperduells: And yet Denmark has opted for a system that uses US ammunition.

@thegauguy: It & NASAMS are sensible choices. VL MICA has significantly worse specs which aren't even combat proven.

@Frialum @oroborous @Jeff21461: Russia isn't invading Europe in the next year. This is a dumb decision.

@sniperduells: NASAMS only uses US effectors. Norway does not produce NASAMS AURs. As usual you have no idea what you're talking about.

@oroborous @Jeff21461: It's sad that the Danes are wasting money on VL MICA. NASAMS & IRIS-T are both sensible solutions and the Danish MoD should have just chosen one or the other.
