NATO.
This is a way to pony up money in a way that would be appreciated if Finland joined NATO.
It's the killer feature of F-35 and F-22 and heck modernized F-16s.
I suppose it's hinted at. Finland can't find and maintain an air force alone...
Stealth simply isn't as important as one would think so long as you're not running missions into enemy territory.
