Finland is considering installing anti-tank barriers modeled after those used in Ukraine to bolster its border defenses against Russia, Bloomberg reports. Finland shares a 1,340 km border with Russia, which is about half of NATO's total land border with the country. The Finnish military is evaluating how defense structures similar to those used in Ukraine will withstand harsh weather conditions in the north. Lt. Gen. Passi Vlimki, commander of the Finnish army, said Russia is already rebuilding its military capabilities, with T-90 tanks, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles and 2S19 self-propelled vehicles being moved to storage depots. "Everything we are doing now is designed to create deterrence - to ensure that Russia does not advance further, whether it concerns the alliance or Finland itself," Valimaki said. Finland has 5.6 million inhabitants and can recruit about 280,000 soldiers. Since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Finland has strengthened its combat readiness and retrained 60,000 personnel over the past two years.
