Finland is considering the possibility of erecting anti-tank obstacles on the border with Russia, on the Ukrainian model, said the commander of the Finnish army, Lieutenant General Pasi Valimki.
The country is currently investigating how effective such fortifications would be. Valimaki pointed out that due to the specific characteristics of the Finnish climate, ditches against tanks and other obstacles may fill with water over time and turn into artificial ponds.
Finland shares a 1,340 km border with Russia - about half of NATO's land border with Russia.
According to the commander, Russia is already restoring its military capabilities despite the war against Ukraine. In particular, T-90 tanks, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles and 2S19 self-propelled artillery systems arrive at storage bases.
