The exercise will take place at the Pohjankangas firing range and training area in Niinisalo.

The Wildcat is crewed by two pilots and comes fitted with armoured, crashworthy seating for an additional six troops.
With glass interactive cockpits and powerful sensors, the Wildcat is an elite helicopter
The Wildcat helicopter features a digital glass cockpit that incorporates four multi-function displays to help improve situational awareness, safety, survivability and communications capability.
They are also fitted with a nose-mounted MX-15 Wescam Electro Optical Device (EOD) that enables the pilot to detect targets at significant ranges, both day and night and in any adverse weather conditions.

The Wildcat is a multi-role helicopter operated by Naval Air Squadron 847 (NAS 847) Commando Helicopter Force (CHF) and the Army Air Corps (AAC) Special Forces Wildcat flight.
The Wildcat is designed and manufactured by AgustaWestland, who sell it as the AW159 Wildcat. The new aircraft replaces the ageing fleets of Lynx helicopters in British military service. They began being entered into service in late 2014 / early 2015.
Both NAS 847 and the Army Air Corps field the AH1 variant of the Wildcat, which is designed as a battlefield reconnaissance, troop transport, airborne command post and force protection platform. The Royal Navy also fields the Wildcat HMA2 (Helicopter Maritime Attack Mk 2) variant in the anti-ship and anti-submarine role.
Wildcat AH1s are fitted with an advanced defensive countermeasures package, namely the Selex HIDAS 15 (Helicopter integrated defensive aids system).
