After lessons learned in Ukraine and the Middle East, Finland focuses on drone defense in joint operations.
The recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have reshaped military training across Europe. In Finland, the Army is conducting the ADEX exercise #MalletStrike25 with a special focus on anti-drone warfare, integrating various units and technologies to meet the demands of modern combat.
The Utti Jaeger Regiment, an elite unit of the Finnish Defense Forces, is participating with its own systems to counter unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A highlight of the training includes the use of NH90 helicopters to intercept and neutralize target drones, as shown in a video shared by the Finnish Army.
