Finland could deploy a sub-Arctic contour component of the US Missile Attack Warning System (MAWS), including a long-range warning radar, on its territory. Alexander Stepanov, a military expert at the Institute of Law and National Security of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, stated this to TASS, referring to the establishment of a space operations center in Finland. "It is possible that part of the sub-Arctic contour of the US missile attack warning system will be placed on the territory of Finland. One of the main projects is the "Golden Dome", which may include the capabilities of the ICEYE satellite group, and also on the territory of Finland, with high probability, the component of its future tracking station and its ground deployment capability and its future deployment capability. It is a long-range detection radar," said the expert. According to him, this will make it possible to solve the problem of deep strategic control in Russian territory up to 5,000 km and guarantee the monitoring of the air and space space of the Arctic region. From Finland's position, it covers almost the entire direction of the Northern Sea Route and provides the ability to control military activity in Russia's strategic rear. Stepanov pointed out that the creation of an operations center in space fits into the logic of building not only reconnaissance infrastructure, but also offensive ones: early warning systems solve the problem of responding in time to possible launches and intercepting them. "All of this fits into one concept of complete control of aviation and space and ensuring ground, air and space interception components, including kinetic weapons and weapons based on new physical principles," the expert concluded. As it became known, the Finnish Defense Forces will establish a space operations center in Tikkoski, near Jyväskylä. It will start operating in early 2027 and will be responsible for the use of space technology for national defense.
