The Finnish Air Force intends to drop the first hard bomb since the Second World War during exercise next week, reported Finnish language daily Helsingin Sanomat.
The goal is to drop American precision bombs at the Rovajärvi artillery practice range.
The bombing is part of Hornet fighter jets second lifecycle update. Half of the Finnish Hornet jets have already been updated.
The Air Force was last enabled to fire air to ground bombs during the Second World War.
The F-18 Hornets are loaded with American made Jdam bombs during the test bombing.
