Maybe there's 1 or more Danish volunteers from the Danish Special forces.

In the beginning of the war I had a chat with a friend I use to have cup of coffee with. I know he is trained by the (Jægerkorpset)=(SAS/Green Baret)

He mentioned taking a trip to Ukraine and join their special forces.

I haven't seen him since then-Can't say if has taken the trip or not.

^ At the start of the war, the Danish Prime Minister said on National TV.

It's up to each and one grown-up to decide if they want to join the Ukrainian in the battle for at free Ukraine. Then a journalist asked if it was ok if these volunteers toke their uniform with them.
Here she said-As long they remove the flag emblem on the left side of the shoulder.

A couple of month later I could read that around 1000 Danish volunteers had join the Ukrainian.

I also wonder how many Danish fighter pilot will hear the call.

Well if your numbers are anywhere near accurate, which I doubt, I hope they last longer than the six or so hours your lot lasted against Germany

To understand why the Danish forces gave up after 6 hours you have to look at what happened days before during and after in the Danish Parliament.

The Danish soldiers did not lack fighting spirits-It was the government who was acting cowardly and surrende within the first hour of the invasion.

Some of the battalion did not get the message that Denmark had surrende that's why they kept on fighting for 6 hours.

Secondly I feel more like an German and a Swede than I feel like a Dane-Despite my mom came from Denmark and I was born in Denmark.

Back to discuss the war in Ukraine.

I read that the loss numbers from the second leak that paint a much darker picture from the Russian perspective, caused a furor in a Russian live debate on TV when one of the minions there mentioned these grim numbers. Pro-regime agitators immediately exploded and tried to cut the speaker off.

I wonder if this maybe might be the motive of these "leaks" in case they are in fact a Western psych-op: to bring these numbers to awareness in Russian media and society, packed in a believable package of "compromising" information that "hurt" Wetsern and Ukrainian interest and by that "prove" that the package and so the KIA numbers as well are true...!? Because if you tell the ordinary Russian on the street about these numbers, most will simply not believe them. You must give him a plausible argument why they are true.

If it is so - and I am far from certain - then it might be an effort to destabilise the mood in Russian society, and turn it from now massively pro-war to "against Putin".

The US believes the UN Secretary General is too willing to accommodate Russian interests, according to fresh revelations in classified documents leaked online.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...ked-documents/

It seems to me they are close to identify and arrest the source of these leaks? Apparently an attention seeking, bored, racist, and devout gun nut.

Hang, draw and quarter him! Its no whistleblower warning the public of a threat from or a crime committed by its own government, but its simple treason.

Poland has officially requested an export license from Germany for Mig-29 fighters from GDR stocks.

I doubt they had much choice really but well done to them anyway.
