Medv and other drunks have been nuclear rattling europe for year(s) with no word from EU leads. It has only intensified. This is ~first time against USA and with immediate push-back.
Interesting to see the results of action instead of inaction. But I think it was good move from Trump

Aren't they are creating the boulder on the wrong side... It's on the russian side of the ditch -> Easy to push back.. Also walls are really shallow.

Those are ETRS-TM35 coordinates. Same as ETRS-TM35FIN. UTM35 strip is accurate on eastern side of FIN, for UTM35FIN it is stretched to be common system for whole Finland.

Ok, found the old Russian-Finnish border definition from 1966 www.finlex.fi/fi/valtiosop... And line matches current EEZ also on FI-RU portition.
So this NAVWARN was no issue.

Found that also, and gov legistlation paper www.edilex.fi/he/fi1996021...
But neither specifies the area between FIN-RUS clearly. ie. Is current EEZ the old borderline. (I would assume..but..)
But if so, yes they could extend and If EEZ remains, it would not matter THAT much to FIN side.

EEZ / Int.waters was formed between FIN-EST Treaty on 1996.
I have not found definition of FIN-RUS border pre-1996, if RUS also moved terr-waters, or was it only FIN (Anyone knows?)
In which case current NAVWARN would be serious trolling and attempt to move border.

Last point ends directly on EEZ -> I believe this would be the pre-96 common border and Int.waters was widened to both sides, but could not verify this?
With RUS being..., Int waters could be only on pre-Finnish side -> Then this NAVWARN would be serious trolling.

Is it normal to call EEZ border as common state border on issued NAVTEXT?
Interestingly this is the case for RU NAVWARN 107/25 for FIN border. COMMON state border is mentioned, but nearest common point is FAR from last stated coordinates.
Also should remember RU "borders checking" plan 2024

Russia has detained a Greek-owned, Liberia-flagged oil tanker GREEN ADMIRE as it was leaving Estonia for Rotterdam.
Allegedly this took place inside Russian waters but judging from the AIS-track she initiated irregular maneuvering already in Estonian waters.

Here are some event timelines from JAGUAR (MMSI 626313000) incident with Estonians.
Clearly JAGUAR did not comply with course change.
Hornets have been active over the bay area next morning.
Supersonic scramble was later than other operational flights spotted over Kotka.

A somewhat similar situation:
When American soldier serves abroad, he's still sentenced by US laws - even death penalty - which in most parts of world is not allowed. Should soldier be judged by host country? How about illegal, is it so wrong to be sentenced in country where he legally resides?

Loss is temporary pain. Capital / property is "permanent". Watch russia doing the same. Eventually they will replace losses, but in the end they've got more land...

Have to say not feeling urgency in Finnish planning either. Many big orders are waiting to be placed. Too little too late like pre-1939?
