I’m stunned by this. Russia will see it as provocative. Also, the Finns chose the F-18C over the Grippen?

How so? They are just upgrading their existing US planes. Finland remains outside of NATO.

They got their Hornets in the mid-90s when the Gripen was still to enter service.

I think the Finns invaded (Western) Russia a few hundred years ago.

The Russkies are fearful of them.
