Well I thought something might be off about Denmark concerning the use of the LEO 1A5 so I recovered the source and missed it's date. So the best way to fix it was just to go to Denmark's MOD site who like many others of the region are very free and open to the status of their military. So the answer really is they have 57 LEO 2A5 tanks in operation. From their MOD you might find PDF pages 10-12 of some use. The others after will give you a complete list as well of the rest of their armed forces as of 2011. Note and as I've posted, Denmark is in the process of down selecting a replacement for their M-113 APC's. It'll be one of the largest deals of the type in Europe in many years.

Sorry for any inconvenience and confusion on the matter. The rest is correct in the above post. Denmark's OOB concerning these tanks is good as well.

There was a thread of talk of NATO and others. In one of my replies I indicated the recent agreements to form such an organization of the Scandinavian countries, though I couldn't remember the name of it. That name is NORDEFCO, the below
is the MOD announcement (2016-01-13 16:15) of their chairmanship of that organization in it's second year also who's in it, the rotation and who can't chair it.

Well that was a long correction! Good Night!
