Finland plans to involve reservists in military patrols due to incidents where Ukrainian drones, en route to attack Russian ports near St. Petersburg, ended up over the country's territory. This is reported by Yle, writes UNN.
Details
The Finnish Armed Forces announced that they are inviting reservists to participate in observations provided by the army and other structures in connection with the risks of Ukrainian attack UAVs entering the country's territory, in the format of training to refresh skills.
Invitations will be sent to reservists who previously agreed to participate in such training.
It is noted that the involvement of reservists will allow using their existing experience, as well as reduce the burden on services if the need for patrolling continues for a long time.
Currently, air space surveillance near the borders with Russia takes up very large resources of the army and border guards; surveillance is carried out by various means, from land and sea.
The army simultaneously urged ordinary people not to disclose information about the location or movement of military personnel, including on social networks.
Recall
In March, Finland identified a Ukrainian drone among objects that fell on their own. A Hornet fighter jet was scrambled to check the targets, but no fire was opened.
