Denmark could not do its \"Crushing Unity\" military exercise. American air defense systems stopped working almost at the same time.

The systems found fake enemy targets correctly during training. But they showed an error \"Permission Denied\" and did not fire.

Companies making the systems should have helped fix them. But all these company people had already left Denmark.

The US said repairs could only happen in America. Denmark must send many air defense systems, which takes a long time.

Denmark wanted to talk to the US Ambassador about this. However, the Ambassador and his team had also left the country.
