Finland starts exercises with anti-personnel mines

[According to the Helsinki Times portal](https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/finland/finland-news/homestic/28479-finnish-defence-forces-move-to-restore-infantry-mine-capability.html) improvement work and acquisition planning are already underway. The aim 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 the conscripts will receive appropriate instructions as part of average military service — starting from the first draft in 2026, [which confirms communications from the beginning of the year](https://maavoimat.fi//puolustusvoimat-aloittaa-toimenpiteet-jalkavakimiinojen-hankkimiseksi-ja-koulutuksen-kaynnistaseksi?languageId=en_US).
