The Danish Defence has utilized a variety of equipment since the 1950s, contributing to its national and international security roles. These include ground-based weapons systems, naval vessels, and aircraft.

Among the notable aircraft used by the Royal Danish Air Force is the F-16 Fighting Falcon. This multirole jet fighter has been a mainstay for decades, providing air defense and ground attack capabilities. Prior to the F-16, the Danish Air Force operated aircraft such as the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-35 Lightning II, each playing a significant role in different eras of military aviation.

The Royal Danish Navy has operated several classes of ships. These include frigates like the Iver Huitfeldt class, which are equipped with advanced sensors and weaponry. These ships are designed for anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare. Other important naval assets have included corvettes, patrol vessels, and mine countermeasures vessels used for coastal defense and maritime surveillance.

Regarding ground-based weaponry, the Danish Army has employed various systems to enhance its combat effectiveness. These include armored personnel carriers (APCs) and main battle tanks (MBTs), such as the Leopard 2. These vehicles provide mobility and firepower for infantry and armored units. Additionally, artillery systems and anti-tank weapons have been crucial for providing fire support and defense against armored threats.
