Finland regards the possibility to send part of his army in the Baltic States and Poland. This writes the Finnish newspaper Iltalehti, citing sources in the field of foreign and security policy of the country.

The question in this case is the participation of Finnish soldiers in the operations of the United armed forces of NATO permanently stationed in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

In addition, Helsinki is also considering the option of part of the Finnish fighter Hornet in the air policing over the Baltic States.

In the publication to emphasize that informed about the readiness to send its troops to the Baltic States or any other country member of NATO in Eastern Europe, said in Sweden. Tellingly, in Stockholm are also ready to send its JAS 39 "Gripen" to protect the skies over the Baltic. While the Swedish military assistance to NATO can consist of ships of the naval forces of the Alliance.

How to write in the publication, sending land forces of Finland and Sweden in the Baltic countries will take place in the framework of the defense program of the Alliance, launched in 2017.

While in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland were deployed battalion, numbering more than a thousand soldiers each. The record for the number of troops in this program are USA, UK, Canada and Germany.

This year, Sweden and Finland have applied to join the Alliance. Therefore, as written in the publication of power in Stockholm and Helsinki believe that part of their military in the above program would be a manifestation of solidarity with other countries-members of NATO.

I should add that at the end of June at the Madrid NATO summit it was decided to increase the number of units in the Baltic States and Poland to the level of brigade (3,000 to 5,000 soldiers). The first reinforcements from Germany arrived in Lithuania on 4 September.
