Actually the limits were based by Britain. They thought communists would take over Finland and it would be ion the Soviet side.

Similar limits with tanks. Though there were lot more "spare parts" stored in underground bunkers just waiting to be put together.

Not everyone guy likes being in the army, so you caanot say by all.

@@ErtixPoke That is why I wrote 'most guys'. Based on my own experience it is the vast majority, but definitely not all, you are right in that.

Army time is "great", all in the "same boat" and food is great, in baracs and woods. "Army is the best time one can have", is mostly true.

The Soviet Union never tried to achieve the level of industrial standardisation that the West had. The Valmet/Sako style rear sight absolutely requires the receiver cover to be a 100% tight match with the receiver itself. That being said, I'm sure the old AKs were much cheaper to manufacture, if the price even really was a relevant issue in the Soviet Union. AK-12 probably isn't a cheap gun to make anymore, however.

The AK sight radius is fine; it is roughly the same as a M4 rifle with a front sight post But the Valmet sights are probably better though

My rk62 was made back in 1983. Still works like a charm.

This is a kind of a recruitment video, it was shown at conscription days to show the future fighters the different career options within the defence forces.

Untrue, there simply weren't enough rifles to go around so captured rifles were a necessity to fill ranks. It was also handy that Finns and the Soviets shared the rifle caliber and parts were near interchangeable, since Finnish main line rifles were evolutions of Mosin Nagant. Soviet arms were well loved, during WW2 DP-27 machine guns and Nagant revolvers were especially sought after, DP-27s were even given the nickname Emma

Went in II/92 and the combat vest I had was made 1938, the one they used in WWII.

@Mäkirannantörmä I have to disagree on the M85 : ), at least you can drop it off your back and sit on it when the movement stops and the waiting starts but like I have found these past years in drills you cant do that with the M08 combat vest, it hangs on you like a ball of lead with all the gear the minute you wake up to the minute you lie down, particulary on our line of work in the mortar firing position it is pretty much pointless to carry all 6 magazines and vest full of gear while operating the group weapon.

Mauzer made me pick up Wolf and Raven when he made that Prc'50 video, their pretty cool

@@CaptainSully101 "Paloma Pilots" from Gemini album.

Sometimes it ain't about the weapons, it's what you do with them ;)

Draken is a superior turn fighter which was much more desirable during the cold war. Americans flew giant formations high in the sky during Vietnam war which made it easy to follow them low while it made hard for them to spot a Mig-21 coming. MIG-21 was an interceptor, hit-and-run was ALL that it could do, but it did that the best (for a time). Ever heard of a FIN strike fleet? Neither have I.

Thank Sky Lord indeed. F-35's might get to slap some "flies" during their life-time.

Its funny how different all the nordic countries went, sweden was neutral, but still western alligned, and then you have the nato states of norway and denmark

Stalin wanted to seize Finland under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. And even so, Finland's politics were very hot before Stalin's death. And when Khrushchev came to power, relations began to improve. But I would say Finland basically sees a purely defensive policy and its forces give the Fins time before the help of Europe and America

@@lukaj4833 Uh are you aware of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the Winter War? Go do some research

Finland was more allied to western nations but same time has friendship treaty with the soviet Union

@@lukaj4833 there is plenty of evidence that shows Soviet Union had every intention of annexing Finland, this evidence can be easily found.

@@Betoniporsas75 You bet Ukraine and Russia are in Europe - even though Russia is so large it cannot completely fit in just one tiny continent. Russia is huge, and like they say, eternal.

'...while doing a better job than your boys...', doubtful even if we're talking about the conscripts ( it wouldn't be fair to compare the biggest and the most experienced in it's time Soviet officer Corps to Finnish one), cause we should remember that Soviets had large combat experience in Afganistan, where they showed good results. While Finns had like what, just some basic soldier's training in quite harsh conditions?

@@sloptek1807 Additionally, Finns have been actively taken part in UN peacekeeping operations (And later on Nato operations as well) since the 1950s, starting from Suez Crisis all the way through to present day. If there was a battle being fought almost anywhere in the world, theres a chance a Finn was part of it.

@@sloptek1807 And unfortunately, this still happens. :(

Finland was actually banned from buying West-German weapons between 1947 and 1991. Soviets had so bad memories from Finns using german weapons in WW2.
