@@ReasonAboveEverything exactly my dude 😊👍

@@wolfdog5981 Siinä olet oikeassa, että nykyään ei tosiaan enää eletä 2. maailmansodan aikaa - onneksi! Talvisodan alkaessa Suomen ja NL:n väkilukujen suhde oli 1 : 46,5. Nyt Suomen ja Venäjän ero on "enää" 1 : 26,5. Ero on lähes puolittunut. Vähintäänkin sama koskee myös sotilaiden määriä. Kylmän sodan aikaan irvailtiin vanhaa sanontaa "yksi suomalainen vastaa kymmentä ryssää (pientä liioittelua, oikeastihan suomalainen vastasi vain viittä ryssää...)" kysymällä, että "entäs sitten, kun tulee se yhdestoista?". Nyt voi varmuudella vastata, että kun ei tule. Talvisodan alkaessa NL:lla oli enemmän panssarivaunuja kuin muulla maailmalla yhteensä - n. 18.000-22.000 - ja sama määrä sillä oli 2. maailmansodan loppuessakin. Suomella ei ollut kuin tusinan verran alussa ja muutama kymmenen lopussa. Nyt Venäjällä on edelleen saman verran mutta Suomella parisataa ensiluokkaista. Panssarintorjunta-aseistus oli Suomella sodan alussa surkeaa. Sodan lopussa panssarinyrkit ja -kauhut pelastivat. Nykyään(kin) Suomen pst-aseistus on modernia. Tykistö oli Suomessa Talvisodan alkaessa vanhanaikaista ja mikä pahinta, sille ei ollut ammuksia. Jatkosodassa tilanne oli jo paljon parempi, muttei silloinkaan ensiluokkainen. Nykyään Suomen tykistö on Länsi-Euroopan suurin - osin huippumoderni, osin ei, mutta silti keskimäärin toimiva. Ja kranaatit eivät lopu. 2. maailmansodan aikaan NL kykeni asettamaan pelkästään Suomea vastaan tuhansia lentokoneita. Suomella oli Talvisodassa vain muutamia kymmeniä lähes ajanmukaisia koneita. Jatkosodassa tilanne oli sentään vähän parempi ja koneitakin jo yhteensä enemmän. Nykyään Venäjä kykenisi asettamaan Suomea vastaan maksimissaan vain muutamia satoja koneita. Suomella sen sijaan on yhteensä toistasataa taistelutehtäviin kykenevää ajanmukaista konetta - ja kohta taas uusitaan. IT-aseistusta Suomella oli Talvisodassa vain nimeksi, Jatkosodassa sentään enemmän. Nykyään tilanne on paljon parempi, vaikkei silti edelleenkään riittävä. Edeltävät esimerkit riittänevät. Lähes asiassa kuin asiassa Suomen ja Venäjän armeijoiden ero on sekä määrällisesti että varsinkin laadullisesti huomattavasti pienempi kuin aikanaan Suomen ja NL:n.

arde All depends on what Russias intentions would be. If they want to wipe Finland off the map they can without any problems. A few nukes here and there and we are done for. The problem with this is there would be no gain from it. If there was anything they wanted from our land, its destroyed and in a wasteland filled with radiation. We are not a threat to them (reserves cant be used to attack, only to defend) so they have no reson to use nukes. If it goes to more traditional warfare, what really plays a role is espionage, sabotage and "master of the air". Russia has a better airforce, better spionage systems (they have their own GPS system called GLONASS that phones very commonly use, they can track pretty much any phone owner in Finland), the thing where Finland specialises in is "Old school" espionage and sabotage. Finding a finnish group of soldiers in the woods is a close to impossible task. They move very quickly and know how to stay hidden even in extreme conditions, while keeping their fitness for battle up at the same time.

Yes, however, current wartime reserve is limited to 280,000 to offer more modern equipment and such. So only 280,000 at once would be fighting and the rest waiting their time.

@@Saareem that's really just the nominal number, they change that just about every year according to some political whim. There's no shortage of rifles and such equipment, and a lot of troops would work in logistics anyway. But yes sure the air force and navy don't have an infinite amount of crafts to field regardless of the manpower.

while mostly true, it is possible to opt out of armed duty, and instead do community service for double the time. vast majority choose the army but it is a possibility. and on the other hand, it is possible for women to apply for the armed duty as well, but for women it is not mandatory. (and not that many choose to go for it, but again it is a possibility)

The US military training happens every year in Lapland but to call it significant co-operation.. is a bit too much. You could easily compare it to car companies testing in Nordsleife every year. It is unique training that US military special forces get here, not some massive joint operation.. few dozens, not even a hundred men are involved. A lot of it is to training the trainers who can carry the lessons they learned back home.

@@teemup9247 well said haha

@@CombatArmsChannel we have fought 32 wars against Russia over the last 900 years. It is in our dna lol.

Combat Arms Channel Finland got their independence just over 100 years ago, since then fought a bloody civil war (with even bloodyer war camps, basically concentration camps), defended against the Soviet Union against all odds, attacked the Soviet Union alongside of the Nazis and then hunted the Nazis away (again against the odds, there were more Nazis than Finns and the Nazis had fought alongside Finland for about 4 years so they had learnt how to fight there and how finnish troops operate), which resulted in pretty much all of Lapland burning to the ground. All this is ofcause things people still alive today experienced, tales of these wars have been told to children and grandchildren still alive today, tales about the heroes and how finland against all odds still exists today. The finnish "traditional" family dinner often includes the grand children listening to grand dads stories from those wars (this is becoming more rare however). If the US had this recent events where ordinary farmers picked up a rifle, looked death into the eye and became heroes defending their land against all hope, im sure youd have the same results :)

Some have. Not all. Usually the more "produced" ones have those or those relating to more international stuff. FDF actually puts out quite lot of film not only via their youtube but also facebook and other internet medium. for example during annual big exercises about the exercise going on. Those might not usually have subtitling, since those are produced on more fast pace (usually straight up daily releases) and are anyway mostly for the families of conscripts serving in that exercise ala "the exercise has been going on for 3 days so far, now we are moving to maneuver training/ live range firing etc." So there is no point subtitling those for international audience, since it is for domestic consumption. But yeah much of FDF stuff is subtitled. After all they have free translators.... Those are called combat camera conscripts (ahemm sometime it isn't the worlds greatest English text, but one gets the idea out of it). Combat Camera is whole section of film and other media production of conscripts. In war time their job would be to be war photographers, documentary film crew etc. During peacetime they document exercises, film training films and make PR material for FDF.

This indeed had subtitles.

This video that I sent him has subtitles but I think it isn't in this reaction video because you can't download subtitles. I assume he downloads the video rather than screen-records his laptop/device.

It is true they individually far better than the Russians but by the end of that conflict Finland had to give up a large chunk of territory simply because the Russians poured so many resources into it. There is no doubt it rang massive alarm bells in Russia though and started them trying to rebuild their army after all the purges on it.

Absolutely true they where just overwhelmed by numbers in the end

@@stevegray1308 It is said : USSR gained just enough land to bury their dead

It wasn't just numbers, it was lack of ammunition and equipment. The spring 1940 Finns needed the fighting to end right now because lack of shells and ammunition. And soviets needed it to stop before they got in war with France and Britain over Finland. In 1944 Soviets didn't overwhelm, their main assault was stopped, before Finns restarted peace talks. The numerical superiority was 5 to 1 in 1944 but it got eaten up to become 3 to 1 when they were stopped.

Finalnd fought 3 wars between the years 1939-1945. The Winter war started in late November 1939 and lasted 105 days. The winter was extremely cold with temperatures dropping below -30 C. In those days Finalnd was an agricultural economy and many of the soldiers had worked hard in the forests in the winter and on the fields in the summer to earn their living. They knew how to move and survive in the forest in all weather conditions. Many unist on the Soviet side were raised in the southern parts of Ukraina among others and they had no proper equipment or training for that kind of warfare. Numerous soviet soldiers died in their foxholes when they froze to death. The continuation war started in June 1941 when operation Barbarossa was launched and it ended when the finnish army managed to halt a major push by superior Soviet force in the summer pf 1944. The battle on the Karelian isthmus in June-July 1944 was on a similar scale as the allied landings in Normandy if you compare the strenghts of the two sides. Immediately after this Finland had to, according to the armistice agreement, evict the German troops in northern Finland. The armistice had also stipulated that the bulk of the finnish army had to be demobilized so general Siilasvuo only had about 60.000 men against the German 214.000. The germans retread towards Norway and in april1945 there were no foreign soldiers on finnish soil. Except for the Soviet units that occupied the the territories that Finland would leventually oose in the peaceagreement in Paris.

It shows at least haha

I was serving in Säkylä during 2016-2017 and witnessed a reservist getting fatally run over by the APC that they were dismounting. After that we trained just to dismount for hours at the time.

We have this saying in Finnish military "äksiisiä oksennukseen" - drill until you vomit. Dismounting and close quarters tactics are those that are drilled time and again.

There might be a time, when the fast dismount will save your life and make you a efficient combatant. ...training is infurious.

Not as much as Americans. Finns will leave a buddy behind if the rescue will cost dozens of lives.

You do know that is also the US marines motto... It is actually more common to have this, it kind of is how militaries can work together at all... Exceptions of course exists in history but "leave no man behind" is pretty much the modus operandi on every single military. And as said already, Finns are pragmatists and will not waste 100 lives to rescue one. And the Finnish soldier would not want that to happen either. US army is much "worse" in that aspect but then again, they have never fought on their one land and need extra motivation for what is essentially a paid army.. If Finland is ever going to be in a war, it will be defending our homeland. And that means the rules are different.
