Finland launches anti-personnel mine exercises

[According to the Helsinki Times](https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/domestic/28479-finnish-defence-forces-move-to-restore-infantry-mine-capability.html) improvement work and procurement planning are already underway. The goal is to produce fresh anti-personnel mines in Finland in cooperation with the home defence industry. The training of professional soldiers has already begun and conscripts will receive appropriate instruction as part of average military service – starting with the first conscription in 2026, [which confirms the announcements from the beginning of the year](https://maavoimat.fi/-/puolustusvoimat-aloittaa-toimenpiteet-jalkavakimiinojen-hankkimiseksi-ja-koulutuksen-kaynnistamiseksi?languageId=en_US).
