From previous articles about this, they won't be deployed now. They will be deployed if needed.

They have a lot of border with the newly energised Russia.

Are they also going to revive their concentration camps? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Karelian_concentration_ca...

I'm more interested in the economics here - is it realistic to produce a land mine for under 100 Euros if you include CapEx and your volume is 1 million units?

Here in Colombia we still have a lot. I'd say the previous government would tell them they could take them out here for free and we would gave them a couple hippos as extra but with this current one I'd bet they would ask for them more money than if they were new.
