BERLIN, Jan 16 (Reuters) - A Denmark-led reconnaissance mission in Greenland is set to determine whether Eurofighter jets can be deployed and whether maritime surveillance is possible with frigates, a German defence ministry spokesperson said on Friday.
"It is a matter of looking at whether the Arctic is secure and to what extent we can contribute to this together with our NATO partners," the spokesperson said.
"This involves planning exercises, for example with P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft ... the deployment of frigates or other naval units for maritime surveillance (and) the deployment of Eurofighters is also possible," he added.
