Finnish Defence Forces to Acquire Parrot ANAFI UKR Micro-UAVs

The Finnish Defence Forces Logistics Command has announced the procurement of Parrot ANAFI UKR micro-UAV systems to enhance their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. The deal is valued at nearly €15 million, with deliveries starting in early 2026. Parrot's partner, Boston Group, will support the program in the Nordic region.

Finland has been using Parrot micro-UAVs since the debut of the ANAFI Thermal SE and later with the ANAFI USA model. These UAVs have been integral in training and operational exercises. The newest ANAFI UKR model offers improvements from experiences in Ukraine, emphasizing autonomous navigation, real-time tracking, and secure communication.

Chris Roberts, Senior Vice President at Parrot, highlighted the importance of evolving unmanned capabilities in modern operations and expressed satisfaction with the ongoing partnership with Finnish forces.
