COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -Denmark plans to acquire long-range precision weapons to boost its security, in a paradigm shift driven by Russia's threat to Europe, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Wednesday.

"There is no doubt that Russia will be a threat to Europe and Denmark for years to come," Frederiksen told reporters.

The acquisition could include missiles and drones, Defence Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said.
