Finland is considering the possibility of installing anti-tank barriers on the border with Russia on the Ukrainian model, said the commander of the country's ground forces, Lt. Gen. Passi Valimki.
Currently, the country is examining how effective such fortifications will be. Vialimäki noted that due to the peculiarities of the Finnish climate, anti-tank ditches and other barriers can eventually fill with water and become artificial ponds.
Finland shares a 1,340 km long border with Russia, which is about half of NATO's land border with the Russian Federation.
According to the commander, Russia is already restoring its military capabilities, despite the war against Ukraine. In particular, T-90 tanks, BMP-3 and 2S19 self-propelled artillery units are delivered to the storage bases.
