# Finland Plans One Million Anti-Personnel Mines

After withdrawing from the Ottawa Convention on January 10, 2026, Finland plans to begin producing one million anti-personnel mines in 2027. The government has started discussions with domestic defense industries and plans troop training for potential minefield deployment along the eastern border with Russia. No suppliers, contract value, solicitation, or award have been identified, so the production plan has not yet been presented as an open procurement opportunity.

- Finnish defense manufacturers may assess their ability to support the planned production, while recognizing that the signal names no contractors or procurement vehicle.
- Procurement professionals should distinguish the government’s production plan and industry discussions from a published solicitation or awarded contract; no bid deadline or contract value is available.
- The planned 2027 start gives industry a future production timeframe, but the signal provides no detailed schedule or requirements for suppliers.
