Sverige skickar Gripen och örlogsfartyg till Finland Den svenska regeringen har beslutat att skicka militära förband till Finland efter en förfrågan om stöd. I närtid ska bland annat Gripen-plan och örlogsfartyg patrullera längs den finsk-ryska gränsen. Antidrönarförband från armén kan bli aktuella under hösten. Finland har under året drabbats av återkommande lufthot där flygplatser stängts tillfälligt på grund av ukrainska drönare och ryska flygkränkningar.
