⚓️ 🇫🇮 🇷🇺 Finland is preparing for Russian sabotage in the Baltic — holding a unique maritime drill

Security forces practiced fast-roping from a helicopter, seizing a suspected sabotage vessel and inspecting its crew.

Since 2022, the region has seen a series of damaged power cables, internet lines and gas pipelines, and Helsinki openly calls the situation the “new normal” — effectively adapting to a constant threat of sabotage.

Finland is preparing not only for ships dragging anchors “by accident,” but also for divers, mini-submarines and underwater drones carrying explosives.
