The Finnish Air Force has stepped up surveillance of Finland’s airspace as a result of the Crimean crisis.

“Military planes in nearby areas east and south of Finland are flying in different ways and in different directions than usually, which is why the Karelian Air Command in Rissala is more alert than usual,” says the unit’s commander, Col. Ossi Sivén. The unit is based in Rissala, part of the municipality of Siilinjärvi, north of Kuopio in eastern Finland.

“It’s clear that we’re adjusting our own readiness. This means that in a certain direction the radar is being used slightly more than usual and also that the fighter jets that are on duty may operate in somewhat different places and for longer periods of time,” he told Yle on Wednesday.
