Watching the Russians
The radar on Bornholm is one of three used for monitoring airtraffic in Denmark – the other two being on Skagen and Skrydstrup.

The installation is important because it warns the military if a Russian military aircraft is approaching the airspace of Denmark and other NATO members.

The radar is funded by NATO, but it is manned by Danish military personnel.
