Yeah, the Finns definitely has a strong tendency for really dark and dry humour.

I don't think Russian politicians can deal with logic that advanced...

Even if he can't get full recovery, he'd still be useful as a training instructor.

@PastramiStaven Definitely, but our Eastern sibblings just takes the darkness in it to the next level. (Born and raised on Gotland, one of my oldest childhood friends from then is half Finnish, half Icelandic)

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.

@Made_in_USSR_Limited_Edition the actual history or the Russian nationalist fiction?

@MrBanaanipommi we love you too brother 😂 You as a country know more of how to deal with Russians than we do nowdays.🖖🏻

Noooo! 😱

@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.

And first guy in is always mr hand grenade

@floridaray3380 do you really think any of the military systems he uses even has any contact points to civilian communications, much less general internet connections? 🤣🤡

And domestic strawberries, wild strawberries (smultron) and the wild/domestic hybrids are really tasty compliments to eachother to whipped cream or vanilla icecream!

@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.

@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.

@KamiKaZantA 6.5-8 months of Nordic Jaeger training before these kinds of test will ensure that fitness.

And a close second place: Snus.

@wildandwonderful7069 there is nothing old-tech about the Gotland class besides the fuel itself.

@NorwegianNationalist1 not on a national level, no, but I challenge you to name a single major UN/EU coalition deployment since the Turkish invasion of Cyprus without a serious Swedish contingent.

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.

I hope the Swedish army orders a bunch of NEMO systems for the combat boat 90H to support the marine infantry.
5
More Swedish through his actions than you could ever be regardless of genetics.

@KasperiVonSchrowe and you won't get to have all the fun for yourselves this time either 😉🇸🇪🤝🇫🇮🤘

It also has an electric boiling vessel, pneumatic seat suspension, automatic climate control, idk if they have retained the civilian trucks FM stereo with bluetooth and USB and 1.5mm stereo aux, but I hope so for the crew comfort.

@libb3n and the equivalent on Gotland was: "Gotland, ön gud glömde, djävulen ratade och försvarsmakten tog över" ( Gotland, the island god forgot, the devil rejected and the defense forces embraced)
5
@heliheikkinen6326 it's a threat in the sense of a deterrence, eg. If you do this thing against us, we will cut your achilles tendon before you get the chance to regret attacking.
5
Yup, same with Älvdalen and Vidsel training areas in Sweden.
5
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.
5
And many of us have distant blood ties to Ukraine through Norse traders and vikings of the 8th to 11th century.

@MrFlatage and why not? Are you so weak and chauvinist that you can't act professional and with respect around women?
4
Oh, there are, in Ruzzia 😂

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.

@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
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...
3
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.

He's more Swedish through his brave and selfless actions than Nazis Jimmie Åkesson, Björn Söder or their traitor followers can ever be anyway.

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
3
@lintu25 except over 10'000 Swedish army officers and conscripts were granted indefinite leave to join the Finnish army along with a third of the Swedish airforce... including their issued equipment and aircraft...🤫

@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.
3
And the Danish is often so sped up and garbled by dialects that it's easier to use English when visiting to enjoy their excellent toymakers, cafés and pubs😂
3
Wrong, the Congo mission was a very much active combat mission. That said, they are few and far between.
3
And serious seat padding😂

Uhh... yes?

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.

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.

@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.
3
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.
3
Not the French Foreign Legion, the Ukranian Foreign Legion, which was the formation all non Ukranian volounteers started in.

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...

@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...
