They actually were more likely to fight Nato forces due to agreements between the Finnish and Soviet governments. But that doesn't mean we liked them at that time, it was just something that was forced on us due to how close Finland is to the Soviet Union.

@@MrJustinUSCM Nato forces ? Agreements with the Soviets usually don't last that well.

Check out the modern Polish loadout (for example the one in the "TF White Eagle" vid). Similar combination of Western and Eastern tech.

Fine tribute to one of our most well known songs i'd say

Finnish RK is a joy to shoot with. But more importantly it's a multitool. You can use the magazine spring as grill grates and the receiver to store dirt and so on.

HAIsulful and the RK-62 was so good in-fact that the Israelis used the RK-62 rifle for the base of the Israeli Galil rifle and the modernized Galil ace

It's not a copy, it's an improvement.

Hi neighbor

Russia? No,I think..Finland is wood between us.

Finland would not be Finland without its fun neighbours

They were actually de facto allies with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

I'm not finding this disturbig, It's cool, I have friends in Finland and I live near from it in Karelia

@@utahraptor4729874 They were mostly neutral during the cold war but had western sympathies.

Absolutely not, my friend. I live not far from Finland, and they are my neighbors. I know the Finns well. I love and respect Finland and I treat the Finns very well. P. S. I live not far from Sakkijarvi, now it called Condratievo, there is a lot of old finnish things left here like houses, churches, Bridges. I miss my finnish friends, I hope we will meet again and not in the trenches.

spring You have to remember that it took a Soviet sniper to knock him out of commission also Ivan sidorenko has a higher kill count then Sumo

@@christiannewaye7306 i think that simo had 505 and ivan 500 kills which is a small diffrence

spring both are amazingly skilled warriors

@@blank1778 yes mate nobody is denying that. Some people think that snipers are cowards. In my opinion you need to be of a diffrent breed than an everyday soldier. You must know how to camuflage and how to think like the enemy and after all of that you are seeing peoples faces. A lot of ex snipers say that it is false that they forget the faces of enemies they killed, they remember them. And also, if you are at war, God forgive, the first thing you go to take out is the machinegun, the next, sniper.

Christian Newaye Except Ivan like most soviet snipers exaggerated their numbers for the war effort. Simo didn’t. Simo had more confirmed sniper kills in 3 months than that filthy commie had in 5 years. Like people do realize the soviets did the poorest in the war, the germans lost 4 million troops in all theaters besides the pacific. The soviets lost nearly 20 million on the eastern front alone.

Finland is not scandinavian.

When it's winter and around -25~30° celcius, your appreciation for those mittens, colloquially called "no-can-dos", will get a healthy boost! :D Though I gotta say that I've wondered what the deal is with this kind of older FDF footage so commonly showing conscripts in the warm seasons wearing a mitten in one hand...

@@MosoKaiser It helps you handle the warmer parts of the rk-62. The plastic cover wasn't a thing back then, or if it was it wasn't nearly as widely in use as it is today. It used to have the barrel bare for you to touch by accident when it's scolding hot.

@@TealJosh Oh indeed, I didn't think of the older style "cheese grater" model! The front hand guard on those does cover the barrel, but not the gas piston tube, which will get warm/hot with prolonged firing. A few guys in my company got issued an older cheese grater model RK when I was in the army; don't recall them having any issues with burning their fingers with them, and we did our shooting wearing fingered regular gloves. But then again, we didn't do prolonged firing, mag dumps, or stuff like that.

@@MosoKaiser yeah, I meant the gas piston. I got a chance to deal with some proper heating. I had to pretend to be adversary for new NCO students and me and my friend(moto-AU, ite olin kuski) were given 6 drum magazines full of blanks to split between us. He had to go do something else so all of sudden I had 5 drum magazines to go through in an afternoon. Best part was I didn't have to shoot those hundreds of blanks through my own rifle. Rumor says he might have used brake cleaner to get the dirt off his gas piston and tube. I can't confirm or deny that fact ;)

Bike infantry lives on in Europe even in the post-war decades. People have to remember that this isn't a fully motorized Europe yet. It's not strange to see a draft horse once you step outside the city limit. Bike infantry functions like dragoons. Infantry uses the bike to march and then dismounts to fight. One of the manouvers they practiced was pulling a line behind a truck or tractor with an infantry platoon on bikes holding the rope.

Yes.. indeed ... valmet is the better one

I know right? I posted something about that. Why?

@@soldat2501 Are you asking why is it Russian made?

Yes the apc and recoilless rifle but all gear and other weapons are actually made in finland.

@@palmhammockpalm APC (BTR-60) is from Russia, Recoilles rifle is domestic. From this video, at least the MLRS and T-54/55 are also from Russia.

It's because incase the Russians ever invaded it would be easier to absorb their captured equipment and munitions.

*nato joind finnland

Except for loosing coffee =/

They're just chambering a round. If you keep your rifle on fire and just rack the bolt when you're ready it's substantially faster than taking off the safety then chambering a round. It's a decently common practice on AK pattern rifles.

Looks badass however

nay, sublime

It is a bit heavy though, but that problem has been addressed with the new RK - M series =)

Just saw a RK62 sold for 9,7k dollars. Insane.

Finnish WW2 mosin had German made barrels. Böhler Stahl Company.

@@jyotirmayamohanty5723 i don't care

It had a massive influence on the galil but thats about it really. Sweden was somewhat close to adopting it but it was generally more expensive and harder to produce compared to the Fnc (Ak5) but the galil would see service for abit in the Swedish police before being replaced by numerous different firearms

@@hahaayukko5543 is there a medicinal value? Or just a easily accessible hot beverage?

Ww2 is anti Semitic

Не всё в мире чёрно - белое, дружок) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Soviet_Treaty_of_1948

The number of Russian equipment is getting less and less as the time goes by. Everything new is either domestic or bought from the west.

Such is life when you're an independent country next to a dictatorship that tried to conquer you in the past but ultimately failed at it. What pretty much happened, was that while we we're able to preserve our independency, we became political friends with the Soviet Union. For a while, it was considered somewhat dangerous to speak out negatively about the Eastern neighbour, at least in public. We actually had this formal pact signed with the Soviets, that in the event of Western invasion (should the cold war get hot) we would basically have joined the Russians. Hence, the equipment. We were logically training to fight against the East, but ideologically against the west.

Because it was cheap. The Soviets didn't have much foreign currency (and their own currency was worhtless in the West), so they liked to trade by bartering. Finland exported Western stuff to the Soviet Union and got in return mainly oil and weapons. If Finns bought weapons/vehicles from there with hard currency, it was also cheap compared to equivalent Western stuff. However, it's pure nonsense to say it would be all Soviet equipment. During the Cold War, Finnish military had plenty of Western (including domestic) stuff as well. Nevertheless, if you can get good, usable stuff for half the price, you'd be a fool not to take it. These days it's far more rare, though. But we still get, for example, machine guns from Russia. However, you can't buy anymore any high tech stuff from there. It would be useless during a war because a Russian general in Moscow would press a button and it would cease to work. Not to mention we couldn't get spare parts and supplies anymore if a war happened.

As an scandinavian the the short version : to find your inner strength and warrior, and what ever it takes

Essentially an expression of extreme strength of Will. No one except a true full blooded Finn can truly know its meaning.

Agree btr and RK made everything’s

The simple explanation is that we were a very poor country but we got much of our gear fairly cheaply through good relations with the USSR, which was courting us pretty intensely during the Cold War. Without those good relations, it wouldn't just mean no BTRs, it would mean no wheeled APCs at all, because we simply wouldn't have been able to afford any Western counterpart.
