  "description": "Finland is deploying a new radio surveillance system on its border with Russia to improve detection and localization of radio frequency sources such as mobile devices. This deployment aims to enhance border security without intercepting message content, supplementing traditional patrolling. The system will initially be installed on reconnaissance aircraft and ships and is expected to be completed in phases during 2026 and 2027. The Finnish Border Guard received approval for this system last year amidst heightened security concerns following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and nuclear threats to Finland and Sweden. The technology also supports rescue operations like missing person searches.",
