Possiamo fidarci dei politici finlandesi che affermano che la Finlandia è ben preparata contro un conflitto armato contro la Russia?

Finland by itself would probably have the same problems as Ukraine right now. Fortunately we have NATO.
The biggest issue is how we are going to act when Russia inevitably starts baiting us into a conflict.
Are the politicians claiming that our security situation is adequate at the moment? We’ve joined NATO, are increasing our defense budget, just left the landmine treaty…
Clearly the leadership recognizes that there is a lot of work to be done regarding this and are on it. Even the comment from the defense forces in the article states this
The guys in the article are talking about things that concern the Defence Forces, not politicians. I was on exercise a few weeks ago and the whole emphasis of that exercise was on drones. It’s not like personell in the Finnish Defence Forces are sitting idly, they’re constantly monitoring the war in Ukraine and learning from it. They receive intelligence reports directly from Ukraine and other allies as well as conduct interviews with Finns who return. Finns also happen to train a bunch Ukrainians that are to be sent into the war, so it’s not like what happens there is unknown for the Defence Forces. Also I served 10 years ago, what the conscripts do now is hell of a lot better than we did, a lot is changing and quickly.
Moreover, the Air Force and the Navyhave recently gotten their big procurements through and next up is the Army who I am pretty sure will emphasise drones and artillery.
To answer your questions, yes we are prepared but it also requires constant work. I trust Defence Forces to be on top of it.
As the nature of warfare was changed during the conflict, the old conscript training is naturally outdated now. The FDF follows the development of the conflict and warfare in general with a keen eye, and they are already developing methods to counter the contemporary drone-warfare.
