Finland is witnessing a notable increase in interest in self-defense training, particularly in the form of weapons training, as the country seeks to bolster its national defense capabilities in response to Russia's expansionism and the recent events in Ukraine.
The popularity of weapons training has soared in recent months, with shooting ranges experiencing a surge in participation. The Vantaa Reservist Association, for instance, has more than doubled its membership to over 2,100 members, reflecting the growing concern among Finns about the changing security landscape.
