The funding is intended for the procurement of advanced surveillance and counter-drone systems, with the bulk of deliveries expected between 2027 and 2029.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Helsinki submitted the request under a European Union financial instrument designed to support border security and visa policy measures. Officials say the planned acquisitions will significantly enhance the Finnish Border Guard\u2019s ability to detect, track, and respond to drone activity along the country\u2019s eastern frontier and in the Gulf of Finland.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">By Vafa Guliyeva<\/p>\n<p>Caliber.Az<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the key topics in this news story.<\/p>\n<p>Views: 97<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"09 April 2026 18:22 Finland has formally requested \u20ac35 million in additional funding from the European Commission to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":58568,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[2526,2532,2531,158,113,2527,2530,2525,2529,2528,2524],"class_list":{"0":"post-58567","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-helsinki","8":"tag-analysis-of-azerbaijan","9":"tag-azerbaijan","10":"tag-baku","11":"tag-finland","12":"tag-helsinki","13":"tag-important-news-of-azerbaijan","14":"tag-international-experts","15":"tag-interviews","16":"tag-interviews-with-azerbaijani-analysts","17":"tag-news-from-baku","18":"tag-news-of-azerbaijan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116378095179648968","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58567","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58567"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58567\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58568"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58567"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58567"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58567"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
