Finland is considering the possibility of creating anti-tank barriers to protect NATO's eastern flank amid the "restoration of Russia's military potential," Finnish army chief Passi Valimki said.
Finland has a long border with Russia (1,340 km), and military leaders need to understand how fortifications - for example anti-tank trenches - will behave in harsh northern conditions and whether they will turn into "artificial ponds" due to the climate, explained Lt. Gen.
And they really believe it will help them.
