Finland reports on upcoming military exercises to intercept drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Military exercises to intercept drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) will be held in Finland off the coast of Kotka from April 5 to 9. This was reported on April 4 by Yle with reference to Ilya Ilyin, Deputy commander of the Coast Guard of the Gulf of Finland.

"We want to review the procedure for using weapons and conducting shooting operations so that, if necessary, they are sure to be smooth, safe and functional," the publication says.

It is noted that the maneuvers will take place in the open sea off the coast of the Gulf of Finland, between the Kirkonmaa and Rankki ranges. However, naval artillery firing may be postponed due to possible interference due to adverse weather conditions.

"We will start conducting exercises immediately if the weather becomes clear enough and we can look at the entire security zone," the officer stressed.
