Estonia, Finland to integrate coastal missile defense systems

According to Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, Finland and Estonia have agreed to integrate their coastal defense once Finland becomes member of NATO. "We need to integrate our coastal defenses. The range of Estonian and Finnish missiles is longer than the width of the Gulf of Finland. It means that we combine our missile defense and share all our information with each other", said Pevkur.

Last fall, Estonia decided to acquire Israeli Blue Spear anti naval missiles, which have the range of 290 kilometers. Finland's MTO 85M missiles have a range of over 100 kilometers.
