However, according to Avia.pro, the exercises are over, but the military equipment is still not allowed to leave. Currently 300 tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems and other military equipment are expected to be stationed in Finland until the country joins the political-military bloc NATO.

The operation is considered to be the prelude to major geopolitical changes in Northern Europe in the Finnish context. Lan and neighboring Sweden are likely to apply to join NATO in the next few weeks.
