I’m stunned by this. Russia will see it as provocative.

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

I didn't know that Finland had F-18's. Assuming that their 'C' model is the same as our F/A-18C, then the incorporation of JASSM makes a light-strike fighter into a serious bomber.

I could understand the Russian b*tching about this...
