Finland is considering the possibility of creating anti-tank barriers on the border with the Russian Federation to strengthen NATO's eastern flank. According to Bloomberg, Army Commander Lt. Gen. Passy Valimki announced the investigation into the Ukrainian attempt at fortification. Military experts assess how anti-tank trenches will behave in northern climate conditions. Defense also requires the ability to hit enemy launch sites, Valimaki said. By the end of the 2030s, Helsinki will allocate 11.6 billion euros for the modernization of forces, the purchase of David Sling systems, F-35 aircraft and K9 howitzers.
