  5. Also, that corrugated fence isn't metal, it's asbestos ceramic... Very common roofing and siding material in Europe on older cold war era houses before it got banned in new construction within the EU. Don't know what the building codes in countries further East says.

  9.  @JainMonroe  my paternal grandmother took in one of those Finnish child refugees during the war, she returned home once it was safe, and the two of them kept in touch through letters and occational phone calls for as long as my grandmother lived, and she sent a very beautyful flower wreath to my grandmothers funeral a few years ago. A childhood friend of mine got called up for his conscript training at Nylands Brigad in the late 1990ies, but he was dismissed half way through as he couldn't submit to the strict Finnish dicipline.

  13. ​ @danielkarlsson9326  there was usually also a reinforced concrete vault with a silent, remotely monitored and switched burglar alarm within a few km from the infrastructure with the demolition chamber where pre-packed modular explosive charges in the specific shape required for that piece infrastructure as well as a locked safe with blasting caps and one or more fuse systems (tar fuse, nonel, electric or pentyl fuse) One set of keys each was usually with the regional regiments and one set of keys with the local home guard company staff.

  14.  @Hammer1987  The Pbv 302 is actually more akin to a slightly heavier m113 APC, swapping the .50cal for a turreted 20mm cannon and using spaced steel armour instead of aluminum.

  19. That depends on the type of tanks and density of the woods. The Ardennes are surrounded by some of the most densely populated areas of continental Europe, it's also fairly dry and criss crossed by trails and small roads that allows tanks to pass en masse by splitting up into dozens of paralell columns, a platoon or squadron size each. The woods of Eastern Poland and Lithuania however, does not have those conditions afaik. And a dense old, unkempt forest is not passable to tanks without serious sapper work, using miles and miles of pentyl det-cord and plastic explosives to clear paths for the tanks at less than five miles per day.

  27. I also don't think corruption is much of a factor on the Ukrainian side as much as a constantly target rich environment along with extremely varied equipment... for good and bad. Just in that unit, you had small arms in 5.56×45 (AR rifles), 7.62ish (sniper) and 12.7×109R for the HMG Possibly also 7.62×54R or 7.62×51mm for a PKM or FN MAG.

  31. And the Archer was developed simultaneously with the Swedish contribution in the AMOS development, they were supposed to be complimentary systems until the Swedish govt forced the defence administration to choose one or the other, and the AMOS then became exclusively Finnish.
    4
  32. ​ @seminyildiz683  In my first home guard platoon back in 2010, most of the platoon and squad leaders were UN and Afghanistan veterans, most of them seemed to use the home guard cameraderie as their own form of rehab where they could share and deal with their stories without having to explain every detail to civilians who completely lack frames of reference. Their experiences also formed a very special balance of relaxed efficiency where everyone knew all the minor tasks that had to be completed for each situation and looked for things to do until all of it was done and keep guiding anyone new into the family. 😊
    4
  33. The real main reason why the Swedish army dropped the AMOS is massive political budget cuts that forced the Army to choose either the Archer OR the AMOS... They disbanded the entire Costal Artillery defense branch and ALL army specialised regiments except one of each (AA, Engineers, Logistics, Artillery, Signals, Helicopters and Cavalry/Special Forces) and reduced the navy to only two real bases at the same time...

  34. yup, and if you expect a competent adversary, any mistakes they do is a bonus but you won't be caught with your pants down.

  36. 12cm mortars are a battalion level asset, 2 mortar platoons to each battallion HQ company. Howitzers are brigade/division level iirc and gets allocated to prioritised sector commands by Army HQ

  38.  @target844  and then there's the Congo mission a few decades earlier, showing that the Swedish military doctrine is, and was to ensure that every soldier understands and acts towards the purpose and goal of the mission while the rest is considdered framework to guide , not restrict, the choises of leaders and individual soldiers to reach that goal. Where the situation on site is what dictates nessesary action, not the words and lines on some order form and map overlay several days old from a HQ staff officer that hasn't even seen the place with their own eyes or experienced the local tensions other than as an intelligence sitrep.

  44. Which is why all domestically designed Swedish army vehicles comes with a two part arctic cold start feature. #1, A kerosene blowtorch and recepticle for said blowtorch aimed at a self circulating heat exchanger on the oil and coolant lines. #2 A di-methyl-ether injection system for single use aluminium cartridges with the recepticle on/near the dash board by the driver.
    3
  45. The Archer has NATO mills system based pen, paper, plotting disc and ballistics charts as backup at the very least, just like every other indirect fire asset in the Swedish army. Also, as each Archer has their own integrated and networked ballistics calculator software running on hardened shell but common source hardware, they can just revert to platoon deployment instead of single vehicle, and have another Archer calculate for them. They could also have a mortar CV90120 within radio range do the calculations or even the old 1990ies proprietary ballistics calculators used by the towed mortar platoons of the home guard volounteer militia. Though if they borrow a home guard battery control squad and their older ballistics calculator, they loose the MRSI capability and the whole process from arrival and deployment to fire mission will take longer time. I wouldn't be completely surprised ifit turned out the army aquired auto-installers on USB flash drives that could be used on a comandeered civilian pc with sufficient hardware specs to be used as an emergency replacement.

  46. ​​ @Jonsson474  It was, Sweden pulled out of the end phase of development and the Finnish kept it and proceeded to finish the final trials, adopt and produce it as well as the complimenting it with the single barrel NEMO variant. The Swedish prototypes were mounted on the CV90 platform. In 2017ish, Sweden decided to adopt the slightly simpler semi-turreted MJÖLNER 120mm mortar system on the hulls that were originally intended to carry the AMOS turrets.

  47. This system has more mobility than a tracked one in blocky, semi wild wooded terrain. A tracked system is really only better on really soft ground.

  48. Not the French Foreign Legion, the Ukranian Foreign Legion, which was the formation all non Ukranian volounteers started in.

  49. Better get warned for beeing to agressive and proactive where it counts, (such as returning pot shots from small arms round for round with an 84mm recoilless rifle FRAG shell during the Congo crisis) intervening according to the purpose of the mission when crime is witnessed or when targeted directly than beeing caught perpetrating crimes like the US prison camps in Iraq or the French UN troops caught forcing local women to allow themselves to be raped or refuse the women access to potable water in parts of Africa...

  50. ​​ @kamilwachel2832  Technically you can get a licence to own fully automatic SMGs, service rifles and other military small arms in Sweden, but it's almost easier to find a Russian dictator without an addiction problem, because you have to be able to proove to the police that you have a legitimate need to own one (like sports competition), safe storage in your home to keep it in and a behaviour record for everyone in your family that's completely clean without even a speeding or parking ticket or noise complaint for the last ten years...

  51. ​ @mikkorenvall428  not if Russia triggers Article 5 elsewhere. When the first round flies from a Russian weapon in a direction and way that can't be waived as a local mistake, then that treaty becomes toilet paper.

  52. They are pretty damn good at deterring agressors though. The Soviet baltic fleet was halted at the territorial water border by a single mobile targeting radar getting started and switched to the top secret war-mode during the U-137 crisis. The war mode meant the mobile radars of the Swedish coastal artillery that so far had always operated on a single frequency started operating in a jumping pattern that seemingly at random switched frequency over a hundred times per second, making it impossible to jam... The soviets did not know we had that level of tech, and the radar in question had also been deployed at the site of an old 21cm costal defence battery that had been officially dismantled almost a decade earlier... So when they got radar lock warnings lighting up their electronic counter measures board like a christmas tree from the location of a former battery where there shouldn't be anything at all to their knowledge, that commander probably had to change into his brown pants, because the fleet instantly turned away from their original course that would have had them cross the sea border within minutes.

  53. ​ @OriginalThisAndThat  I've encountered three mooses during my 6 years as a taxi driver on the Western side of the Baltic, at one occation, one crossed the road around 300m in front of the car, the other occation at another place was a moose doe with a year old calf standing beside the road in a clear cut patch in the woods. I've had a lot more and closer encounters with boars whil driving, but only roe deer has jumped out too close to avoid hitting them😢

  56.  @pekkajarvinen69  the RBS 15 is too big for a CB90, it was iirc. developed for the Torpedo/missile boats, the last of which was retired from service in 2005 Each of those carried 8 RBS15, one in each of their four launch tubes and one full reload plus 6×53cm torpedo tubes, two sets of deck rails for mine laying or depth charges and a Bofors 57mm omnipurpose autocannon turret for self defense. Today, the RBS15 is present on Swedish corvettes, both older and Visby class, on Scania launcher trucks as heavy mobile costal defense and as anti ship option for the JAS39 Gripen.

  57. In that heat and on a 'social patrol' helmets are a liability in that it traps heat around the brain and it make you seem a lot more agressive to the civilians who minght not dare to approach when you want them to tell you whatever they know about roaming insurgents.

  58.  @andreassjoberg3145  as far as I've understood it from people working on the Swedish Amos prototype, it's breech loading system couldn't handle the STRIX guided anti tank shell. That said, the decision to pull out of the project instead of solving that issue was completely political

  60. ​ @einar8019  the old ×4 is tried, tested and fully paid for half a century ago, buying many thousands of new scopes to the same quality would cost at least $500 á piece compared to less than $20 per set of new quick change picatinny mounts for some of the tens of thousands of old scopes still in storage that would cost more to dispose of than to adapt for new mountings.

  61. It's common in large parts of Europe too, everywhere that there's been live stock farming for centuries before industrial farming became a thing. The walls are there to funnel the livestock from the farm to the grazing grounds in the hills while preventing access to the cultivated farmland.

  62. ​ @NorwegianNationalist1  borrowed cold weather jacket?

  69.  @frida507  that is indeed the case. most support weapons and ammunition for example, are designated with their year of adoption. eg: Ksp 58B (FN MAG adopted in 1958), Ksp88/Tksp (Browning M2HB adopted in 1988), Ksp90 (FN MINI adopted in 1990), Ksp94(HK MG3, adopted with the lease of Leopard 2A4 in 1994)

  70. The difference is that the Canadian arctic is practically uninhabited forests and cliffs and any invader will have to bring everything they'd need for the months it would take them to get to anything important. In Norway, the port town of Narvik, only a few hundred miles from the Russian border is a major industrial port for Swedish iron ore from one of the most advanced, productive and high quality ore mines in the world.

  77. It's an m90Lätt jacket, or copy of one. The Swedish defense administration never registered or bothered to defend it's copyright to the cammo pattern, and uniform, bag and webbing pouch batches that fail defense procurement inspection (usually when the wrong thread is used for the seams so that the item is too reflective/visible in the IR spectrum) are surplussed by the manufacturer to reduce their losses.

It's used slowly here because it's a video of the pre production demonstrator vehicle, so the crew is just as fresh to the features of the vehicle as the vehicle itself was off the workshop floor.

  123. There were trials with the AMOS on the CB90, but not successful ones, the hull of the boat was just too narrow and compact for the weight of the AMOS turret to be used effectively as it couldn't fire over the sides at low-mid elevation without risking to do a HMS Wasa 2.0 because the weight of the turret gave the boat too high centre of mass. That also meant it couldn't handle waves taller than 1m without risk of rolling over. Also, the AMOS system is 2×120mm, not 2×100. That said, the CB90 could probably fit the single barrel NEMO system, but I don't know if Finland has done any trials on that yet.

Except for a very small number of licenced collectors of historical military firearms (probably less than 10 people in the whole country) and active/retired military/police service members who compete in military firearms sports (Submachinegun and service rifle diciplines) All those categories combined is probably less than 200 people, and if any of their firearms were unaccounted for, or if any of them ended up on social media videos from a conflict zone carrying a firearm that matches any that they have a personal licence for, it wouldn't take more than 24h for the police to show up unannounced at their next of kin back home with a warrant to inspect the contents of their gun safes to make sure they aren't violating their gun licence conditions. And any active military or police service members would be charged in absentia for going AWOL and defection.

  132. ​​ @Alex-oc2vi  så en modern Tjeckisk donerad bössa och inte en gammal sovjetbössa alltså. Den verkar iaf funkat som den skulle när det behövdes för både honom och hans kamrater eftersom han kommit hem relativt helskinnad flera vändor om 😊

  133. And the numbers are the year of adoption of each weapon. Also, the MG 3(MG42 in 7.62×51mm) is designated Ksp94 in Swedish service, we recived a number of them as a bonus when we leased the Leo2A4 as Strv121 and licenced the rights to customise, modify, improve and produce the Leo2 domestically as Strv122+

  134. Is it made safe and conservated for use or is it clogged and submerged?

  136.  @HingerlAlois  And Swedish artillery has always been designed around a defence in depth strategy, across the entire country with delaying actions, counter attacks and bypassed units going to ground to regroup, reorganise and switch to partizan warfare using every means availiable to cripple invader logistics and to ambush and harrass or, if possible, destroy worn and relieved invader forces on their way backwards for R&R so that those forces never reach their resuply and recovery areas... The Bandkanon1 btw, was designed for the same role as the GRAD mlrs, but used a gun to be less traceable for the vastly more numerous soviet artillery.

  137. Also, this video was filmed with the pre production demonstration vehicle, so this crew was as new to the system as the vehicle was fresh of the factory floor. The crew probably hadn't reloaded it more than a dozen or so times when this film was made, far too little to become smooth operators in the way the conscripts get over ten months of drills many times each day and night in the field.

  138. I'd expect them to use their helmets when actually going into combat, at least hooked to their packs or webbing so that once they are on land, they could switch to get some head protection once they are no longer on the boats. (Iirc, peace time safety regulations say you aren't allowed to wear helmets or webbing/kevlar/plate carriers while riding vehicles outside very controlled low speed scenarios due to how the weight and stiffness of worn combat gear concentrates any sudden movements of the vehicle to the neck and lower spine of the personell. And they don't want to expose the thousands of conscript training teenagers in each year batch to spinal injuries right out of highschool...)

  139. That's never stopped Swedish local troop leaders from applying a definition of 'getting fired at' that's so loose that it would make every prostitute in Amsterdam blush...

  140.  @CombatArmsChannel  also, on transport boats, the Swedish peace time regulations state that if you are allowed to even wear the helmet, it should be unstrapped, same with webbing/body armor so that it will fall off/can be removed quickly if the soldier were to jump/fall overboard in water too deep to stand. Since these are conscripts taken straight from highschool graduation to basic training with up to three months in prison for refusing to serve if qualified, the armed forces makes sure to do everything they can to avoid having to explain to parents why their kid were returned home in a coffin in peace time.

  141. ​​@@phillipbanes5484 most planes (especially civilian ones) want around 2km runway for peace time safety margins. Swedish road bases designed for the SAAB A32, J35 and AJ37 are around 600m, and that's double the STOL design requirement for both the SAAB 37, Viggen and SAAB 39, Gripen in all versions. Ergo, both the Viggen and Gripen could technically land and takeoff from all post ww2 US aircraft carriers despite not having either arrestor hook or catapult compatible landing gear! 😆 The SAAB 37 uses thrust reverser scoops to throw all of it's jetwash forward and to the sides instead of a conventional airbrake. The SAAB 39 tilts the canards down as well as using extreme wheel brakes, idk if it also uses thrust reverser scoops, if it does, they are far more discretely integrated in its design.

  142. Idk, this looks like sn attempt at reverse psychology propaganda, because I refuse to belive even conscripts are allowed to train like this without an officer cancelling the training stage and sending all of them back to basic level training.

  143. Looks more like ICAs cheaper generic copy of the Singoalla though 😉
