Finnish air force Hornets

Hi all

In a recent issue of AFM (think it was the last one) there were an article about the Finnish air force, and it said that the Finnish air force was meant as a Defensive force whos only task was to defend Finland. Because of this the Finnish Hornet don’t carry any air-to-ground weapons.

Does this mean that they dont even carry dumb-bombs or unguided rockets?? Attacking ground targets can be an important part of defending ones land.

Can anyone clarify this for me??
