One explanation: Hakkapeliitta (Finnish pl. hakkapeliitat) is a historiographical term used for a Finnish light cavalryman in the service of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). Hakkapeliitta is a 19th-century Finnish modification of a contemporary name given by foreigners in the Holy Roman Empire and variously spelled as Hackapelit, Hackapelite, Hackapell, Haccapelit, or Haccapelite. These terms were based on a Finnish battle cry hakkaa päälle (English: strike upon [them]; Swedish: hacka på), commonly translated as "Cut them down! or "Rough 'em Up!"
This. It is a very very very old war cry.
The hakkapeliitta really fascinate me. I've read of accounts (not sure what sources would be so take this with grain of salt) that the imperial soldiers would first laugh at the sight of them, because the Finnish horse at the time was so small compared to europeans that the looked like they were riding ponies, and the men themselves were rugged and Stern unlike their imperial gentlemen counterparts.
Then they would keep quiet at all times: no taunting or shouting, just a dull stare across the field.
And when the chargee happened, they didn't fight like light cavalry at the time was expected to. Instead of riding close, firing the pistol and retreating, they fired the pistol, drew their swords, shouted the HAKKAA PÄÄLLE (only thing they would be heard shouting), and then proceeded to chargee straight in and slash at everything.
For the imperials, that was not the way the enemy was supposed to fight at all, and the shock combined with ruthlessness gave them an intimidating reputation. Gustavus Adolfus rode himself with them on multiple occations, and their charge was a turning point on many of his greatest victories.
Apart from maybe the men who fought in the winter war, the hakkapeliittas are by far the most legendary Finnish warriors of all time.
@@kcfacademy2496 indeed. Also very close to viking war cry "rähinä päälle" wich is still used by Finns and means something similar in ancient norse language.
@@kcfacademy2496 yes , Hakkaa päälle or hakkapääl
Also the captain who gets killed while trying to get the guys to move during their baptism of fire scene in the Unknown Soldier uses that battle cry. "Hakkaa päälle, pohjan poika! "Cut them down, sons of the north!". Also in the original novel. 😉
10:49 the war cry "Hakkaa päälle" directly translated would mean "Strike upon (them)". It could also be translated as "Cut them down". It was the war cry of the Finnish light cavalry Hakkapeliitta's fighting under Swedish flag during the Thirty Year War 1618-1648. In the movie review Tuntematon Sotilas, that you did, shows a scene where the old captain encourages the soldiers to advance by yelling the longer version "Cut them down, sons of the North" (Hakkaa päälle pohjan poika). The captain died soon after, but he got the soldiers to advance.
they were also one of the feared cavalary in europe during that time
Fun fact "hakkaa päälle, pohjan poika" was also used by "Pohjan Pojat", a unit that was composed of volunteering Finns to go fight in Estonia's War of Independence (1919) on the "white" side against the communist forces.
Kippis comes from German "gibt's es?". Hakkapeliitta'asking for beer.
@@yoretabio4537 Close, but no cigar.
According to the Finnish etymological dictionary it might be a slang-derivative from german "kippen", wich comes from traditional saying "die Gläser kippen".
Your pronounciation of "kehä" was perfect
In finland we can't have anything too wet because it will freeze and never dry compleatly, hence the backpack cover.
Sublimation! ;) I’m sure it would take a long time to dry but I was a big fan of how dry the cold weather was in Finland.
Makes sense! Thanks🤙
So true. I still remember when I had my towel froze into a solid block of ice inside my backback.
Dude, ain´t that the truth =)
@@wanhapatu haha.. Yep. I remember hanging the towel up to try and dry and then it was like trying to dry yourself off with a piece of cardboard when it's frozen stiff.
When some old buildings have demolition order.. Army, Police and Rescue will reserve it for training before actual demolition. So they don't need to fix anything and training is diverse.
Like some part of first video was on closed down hospital. And yes it is a thing to ride motorcycle with rifle.
Motorcycles are used for reconnaissance or messenger stuff
That's awesome and haha that's a dope job
We trained CQB in a abandoned slaughterhouse back in my service year. It really set the mood.
@@bonk695 i know. I was the guy who rides with that motorcycle. Then the rider left me, and recoinnainsansse begun
@@bonk695 Most of them are well skilled motocross drivers for sure and some are coming up north.If military needs skidoo drivers.
10:49 some old chant "hakkaa päälle", its for making you pumped up. Hakkapeliitta was a Finnish horse chavalry in Swedish army loooong time ago (from 1500-1600), so its a warcry from those times.
the Finnish cavalry hakkapeliitta's were the best in the world at that time
Closest literal translation might be "beat them up"
and some times it has ending ''pohjan poika'' meaning son of the north. as in ''Hakkaa päälle, Pohjan poika''
@@antcommander1367 the word "pohjan" is pretty confusing because it can mean many things for example: bottom, north and Pohjanmaa :D
Kehä = Ring. There are three Ring roads around Helsinki area and the name probably comes
from them.
Kehä 19 happened just around Helsinki area. Kehä 20 was larger and the area used
stretched from Helsinki to Hanko so it was around 100 km across.
At 8:00 mark: Jehu-class (U-700) landing craft, made in Finland.
At 11:00 mark: "Hakkaa päälle" is a Finnish battle cry used by the Finnish Light Cavalry
"Hakkapeliitta" in the 17th century and ever since.
Fun fact: Kehä 20 was the first time the smart devices (phones etc) owned by the
personnel were utilized in a training in a large scale.
Have they done anything to secure them from tracking? I’m sure your neighbours love to watch your cell and then with the new 5g system it will become easier with the help of China
@@RoyRissanen I have absolutely no idea what they are used for. PV just ordered some Android tables so something is surely happening.
@@RoyRissanen Having received training on this system, it's using open source apps and software to set up a VPN through which you handle and encrypted messaging and phone calls and data transfer.
@@RoyRissanen there’s no tracking prevention, but since they are used in densely populated areas, those phones would be difficult to pick up from the mass. Spoofed cell towers by the adversary would be a real risk, though.
I remember we had android phones on deployment. If you dropped it and the phone tought someone is trying to open the backpanel it locked itself useless... So those phones seem a bit secure..
I was part of Kehä 14 exercise 6 years ago, it was good fun! Attacking the Helsinki cargo harbour was insane as there were so many guns firing and the echo of the thousands of containers made a funny sounding echo, like we were fighting with laser weapons. I remember just turning my radio off cuz I could not hear anything anyone was saying. Pain in the ass to lead a squad when nobody hears anything, but it was fun!
At 3:30 ish those pouches are for frags or stuns that they use when taking over rooms inside buildings. It’s meant that the guy behind you can take it while you still can keep your aim and focus forward towards the threat.
I was the guy on the motorcycle and yes it feels pretty good but that bike in the video felt like it was going to vibrate my ass off because it did not have tires for normal roads😂 and those KTM bikes are really old but we do have new ones aswell just didnt get them here.
They need to pick up some electric bikes, a lot quieter for reconnaissance.
@@RoyRissanen yeah but electric bikes at the moment dont have the range to be useful. I remember we had this one attack training it lasted about 3-4 hours and after that i checked my kilometers that i had travelled and it was 180km. Electric bikes range is about 40-50km if i remember correctly.
@@Ronayd very true.
Ahahaha that's great dude, what a legend 😅
@@RoyRissanen roy rissanen, that's true, but the Defence forces seems to like old gear without much electrical systems for reliability. That's also the only logical explanation I can come up with for why the defense force seem to want to keep the old Sisu trucks so much and why they are the only ones using actively such old, and otherwise illegal (due to high emissions) trucks (I mean illegal in civil use as long as they are not registered as historical vehicles).
at 3:38 the pouches on their back are for grenades
It's urban jaeger - thing to wear it on back.
I used to use this pouch in front. Much easier to reach:)
it also fits a radio if you're leading a squad/team - just loop the antenna through the MOLLE on the back of the vest so it won't catch on foliage. i served as an MP squad leader in the Navy, and we also wore one mag pouch on the back/side, exactly for the reason you assumed. if you're stacked up you can easily reach into the point man's mag pouch for a reload. unofficially there's a lot more uses, but that's the two use cases that came to mind
Already 24 years ago when I served in the Jaeger Regiment we had a 48h march through all sorts of tunnel systems underneath Helsinki and the sea. I can tell you there are some weird places and scenes underneath this home city of mine. Like a 50m/170ft. spiral steel stair casing that took 20min to get the entire company to climb through.. Miles and miles on end of tunnels large enough for a van to drive through.. Underground water reservoirs.. And when the lights are switched off 40 meters underneath the sea bed I can tell you.. it will be pitch black dark.. :D
Surprisingly good pronunciation oh kehä. Also yes it means "Ring".
Also Holy shit that's a lot of tea.
😅
Awesome! I've been involved in multiple Kehä exercises in the past as a part of a reservist group that acts as OPFOR for the training conscripts. It's always great fun and really great exercise for all sides!
The amphibious troop transport at 08:00 min mark is the Jehu-class landing craft
It is comfortable and actually offers protection and handling space compared to the predecessor Jurmo-class
Cheers
So would that make command craft...Pääjehu?
Yes, I know the way out.
Also known as Watercat M18 AMC
Another fun & exiting video about the Finns, keep up the awesome videos you make. Intresting to hear how the militarys compare around the world👍
Thank you. I see them constantly from my window. They often practice in and around the old hospital. Movies, as well as TV series, are also filmed there constantly. The hospital closed due to a mold problem just a short time ago. Once they had a multi-day training time in that hospital. I asked (I was on my way to the store on the sidewalk) what was on duty where they were serving. they said they were the Jaegers of Uusimaa. I told them that I served in the same location as the first Jaegers company, but the armor destroyer the Jaegers. (1980 :) Respect from Finland.
Nice shirt❤️ been waiting for your videos. Stay safe
Just wait for Norther 20/Pohjoinen 20 video coming up later this year that I'm gonna take part in. It is aswell a battle practice, but due to it's name it takes place at Rovajärvi AKA Largest battle training area in Western-Europe(even tho it is not part of Western-Europe). There you will train you winter battling skills and it is usually the last training for a conscript and it is kind of a climax for their training. There will be a lot of artillery fire because entire Finland's artillery fire shooting units go there to train.
Ah yes, the old Gonajärvi
I'm pretty sure it goes like this in a lot of militaries, but when you said "I wonder if the camera person is undersome kind of roofing" it reminded me of a summer when I was working only with computers all day long during an exercise but I had to wear a full combat gear just in case photographers took pictures. They were expected so I had to look like a super soldier even if I was just typing in stuff into a command line. In the end, I didn't see a single friggin' photographer during the entire exercise.
I can relate. During my service we had the then General of the Air Force visiting and inspecting the unit. We were giving everything we had during the exercise. Were we noticed? Nah, the general was 300 meters there yonder, with his back turned to us, chewing fat with the rest of the brass. :D
Great content! Love from the UK 🇬🇧
I hear the Brits are picking up their attic warfare. :)
Love from Finland🇫🇮
Cheers brother💪

Here is some information about that landing boat: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehu-class_landing_craft
Our subways are clean and well run.
These urban assault training scenarios are really a lot of fun. I was a part of one where we attacked a swimming hall which was destined to be demolished.
Cool. We used old water purification plants in Arabianranta and Vuosaari. First one was really ruined already, and they are demolished way back when.
@@Taistelukalkkuna Nice! We had an abandoned town next to a closed prison that we got to use for a few years. Was great for house clearing and town defence.
Awesome video man!!
Finland ❤️
Wish I could go there more often
@Stimpy&Ren | ok
@Stimpy&Ren don’t forget your past buddy! (The Finnish war with soviets)
The migrants had to leave due to conflicts going on in their country.
Btw as a swede I’m very proud of helping other human beings.
Move here
"Hakkaa päälle" is analogous to japanese "banzai!". Translated something like "Beat 'em up!".
Great army, you Finish have, displayed in cool videos. Wish we would have that quality for Getman army videos as well.
I lead my squad in a very similar exercise through an abandoded and waiting to be demolished sausage factory.. And also we had this abandoned island in the Gulf of Finland that used to be a mining community as our training facility.. Like 4 store buildings just standing there in the middle of a rock island forest abandoned.. With cigarette packs and magazines from the 70's.. It was fall and pitch dark out there in the middle of the Baltic.. :D
About Finns in Swedish Army: Peter H. Wilson: Europe’s Tragedy. A new History of the Thirty Years War. - London (Peguin) 2010, p.460: “fearsome reputation (...) known as ‘Hackapells’ after their war-cry Hack ‘em down!’” Nokian Tyres has Tyres called Hakkapeliitta.
The video description says there were reoughly 650 military personnel involved. The personnel were conscripts (mainly from the Guards Jaeger Regiment, based 10 km east of downtown Helsinki), reservists and career military personnel (officers and career instructor nco's).
The Combat camera operators are actually conscripts serving as infantry soldiers in various units all over the country.
There is also a media unit (mostly conscripts) under the media/public relations department of the Defence command, near downtown Helsinki. They have made the edit of these videos. They must have training and experience in journalism/photojournalism/videography/video editing prior to their conscript service. Their main jobs are making the official FDF monthly magazine, youtube-videos and managing other FDF social media accounts.
please react to Air Operations Exercise Ruska 20. its a video from finnish air forces
3:27 that's a nade pouch.
Its actually grenade pouch not a mag pouch in the beginning at 3:30 .. so in a house if youre in stack the second guy can take the grenade from your back and throw it in to the room..
One pouch in the back of fighter is for smoke, in urban fighting, entering the buildings, you can grab smoke/grenade from fighter front of you... Not used in forest fighting, then smoke pouch is located in front of you, easy acces...
The attatching of the weapon sling to the back of the carrier is quite common in Finland, especially in crisis management operations out of country.
Awesome, ty😊🌠
Great video again 😎 both was good but I'll like more that -19. Waiting more vids 😁
You were right, that was a war cry "Hakkaa päälle!" (hard to translate literally but in Wikipedia it was translated like "Strike upon them!" or "Cut them down!"). History of that goes back to 16th century and it was used by Finnish cavalry called "Hakkapeliitat" when they charged at the enemy.
DUDE! that is a big bag of tea!!
Seeing how you have picked up on the use of machine guns indoors in a couple of videos.
Back when I did my conscription a few years back at least we would sometimes use a machine gun to lock down corridors while clearing them out. that way you have a bit more security clearing out rooms without worrying about enemies popping out of rooms further down.
That was really interesting to see
My lads unit based in London role was CBRN and the got to do a joint Ex with the Metropolitan Police in couple of the unused Stations on London Underground. He said it was very cool and lot of fun. Whenever he talks about it he always has massive smile on his face 😁
Cool vid. By the way, the "hakkaa päälle" war cry is widely used in various situations, like sports fandom and in general competitive actions to raise spirits. If you happen to visit a game of the finnish national teams, there is a good chance to hear someone shout that to the team. Also, adding "perkele" to the end gives it more power as it does for many things :D
I love how much the Finns are filming their units. So cool to see the work they do and how well they do it. Lots to learn from for us.
The main purpose of those videos is to show a glimpse of how conscription is going to be for future conscripts. Also conscripts are assigned to combat camera unit so it's also one of the many reasons why so much content is produced by them. After all it's part of their trainining to produce videos like these.
@@macgyver112 Which again is absolutely awesome. We have combat camera guys in the conscript service but they do reports mainly on tech and equipment and almost never run around and filming training. Dont know why, maybe regulation.
@@bedtimestories4927 One reason is you can see what went wrong in this time , or can you make it better next time .
The old factory where the training takes place is a old limestone refinery and cement factory in Lohja, southern Finland about 65 kilometers to the west from Helsinki. My wife’s family lives near that place and I myself lived near the old factory for 7 years and you really can hear when FDF is training there. I did my military service back in 1996 as a TOW missile gunner so I never had a pleasure to do any training there.
seeing Aimpoint Micros (or Comp m5?) on everyone's stick, awesome..
Hi I also love that show The Mandalorian, greetings from Finland , my military rank is sergeant at engineers and it was fun to learn mines and explosives and stuff :)
In 2020 they used the closed down Virkkala limestone- and cement factory. We occasionally train search and rescue dogs on the premises.
The subway system in Helsinki looks basically like a two-pronged fork, so it is much more easier to manage than the much more massive subway syste in cities like New York.
It's also a lot "younger" in then NYC Subway with the New York subway being over 100 years old (in general as it first opened in 1904), while Helsinki Metro opened in August 1982 so barely older then I am. Helsinki Metro has 25 stations with another 5 under construction atm so yeah it's a lot smaller then NYC Subway.
These Kehä trainings are always on early spring, March. So, it might be cold and snow or or raining water.
Yorkshire tea!! You Sir are man of excellent taste! ;)
When I was a kid my auntie lived next to a water treatment plant (or something like that) in Helsinki. They had this long city wide military exercise and the water plant was one the zones. I got to check out what they were doing from the balcony. It was bit surreal when you popped into the the shop downstairs int he morning, for some milk, and there was a dude with full gear and a weapon behind a slide in the playground :D
One of my friends joined the army in 95, in 2000 he came home for a while before the war started. He had a very beautiful and intelligent Korean wife. December 5th will be their 20 year anniversary.
Judging by the background, Spiffing Brit would be proud of this man.
I hope you one day make a podcast!!!!
Haha VYKS/Readiness Unit (black arrow on green background on their sleeve), greetings from former Kainuu Brigade VYKS . Better equipment and training than what other units get and the service lasts a year instead of the half year what regular jaegers and pioneers and others get. Oh also noticed that Maakuntajoukot/Territorial Forces got few seconds on the video 10:10, they are basically volunteers for the military who get called in on short notice if there is some need for them in their province, they do it without any other benefits than to just shoot assault rifles in these exercises and have fun doing army stuff :D(and ofc help when needed) basically the national guard of Finland.
Since none hasn't yet linked the entomology of "hakkaa päälle!" here it is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkapeliitta
Short version it's a battle cry of Finnish light cavalry in the service of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). So it's a historical battle cry of the very bad ass light cavalry that struck had and fast. In original/historic context "hakkaa päälle" would translate as 'cut them down!'. When you beat someone up he might survive when you cut them down... they won't. Hakkapeliittas where more about the cutting them down.
Badass, thanks!
Hakkaa Päälle Pohjan Poika translates loosely Beat Them Son of the North more literally it's put the beating upon them SotN. Same warcry is used in Unknown Soldier in the first attack by the major who got shot when he gets the boys up at the swamp. It originates from 1500's when Gustav the 2nd Adolf, king of Sweden, had his 30-year war and was used by elite Finnish cavalry unit called Hakkapeliitat when they roamed and pillaged and burned much of current Germany. Hakkapeliitat came mostly from westcoast of Finland, people who even by our own standards are straight speaking, stubborn and violent. There was a historic event that king Gustav wanted to make peace with Danish so he took 200 Hakkapeliitta riders and rode into Danish camp and Danish thought that the main Swedish army was just behind them so they gave up to his terms when in reality they were nowhere near.
Keeps the weight off the neck which can cause pain if done for prolonged periods. That way it goes through the shoulder and back which can take the weight better.
The checkpoint guy with water dripping off his cap needs to be in one of those "Why are we still here, just to suffer?" meme videos.
Hakkaa päälle ! is a warcry spanning few centuries to Hakkapeliitta. They were finnish cavalry in the Swedish military.
The factory you wondered, is old chalk factory. and that part you showed is part of sementfurnace. to be exact, thats the connection part of chimney. demolished furnace itself was around 128m long and 3m wide.
At 7:30 - I have always thought about what they would think if they found a roadkill stuck under the vehicle.
At 9:24 - That looks like a piece of a rotary kiln like they have in the cement industry. Or possibly part of a boiler.
Would love to see you react to Ride Along with the RCA. Great video explaining what the Royal Canadian Artillery does and how they operate.
Was always fun to get attached with a field regiment back when I was with Svc Bn
That "magazine pouch" is actually grenade pouch. It is for squad mates easy access to each other grenades
The point of hooking your sling from the back is that the sling wouldn't get to your way of movement. It is nice and snug on the vest itself. Good for urban operation and works only with 1-point slings
That comfy boat you commented on was a U-700 "Jehu" class combat/patrol boat. It came into service in late 2015 and it's pretty high tech, but simultaneously solid and reliable to work with in my experience. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehu-class_landing_craft
this guy has tea for months
The same war cry was also in the Unknown Soldier -movie ;)
Riding motorcycle with a rifle on your back, definitely bad ass. I felt bad ass when I got to go to some shell station with rifle on my back during my army time, but thats next level. Before anyone says its not possible, yes it is possible in some situations, because you are not allowed to leave your rifles unguarded (to the vehicle for example).
cities without forest sounds terrible ,, in the second video i think its old waterpurification plant in east helsinki ,
i like ur vids
The car that has a lot of room is named Pasi
Hey, I was wondering if you could have a look at the Karfreitagsgefecht (Battle of Good Friday) of the german Bundeswehr in Afghanistan
Kehä = Ring = Helsinki Metropolian area. Guard Jaeger Regiment is responsible for that area, so these are "last training" for every year for that
batch of
conscript service whose serves will end. It's like last evaluation where person is going to be placed in reserve. Or if person performance is bad....don't get to placed and and get on with normal life ;)
Kehä or ring is called the road what is boundry of main Helsinki area. Kehä 3 (Ring 3). They seems to be In Helsinki all the time. And also its True that finnish military trains there In those tunnels what we have alot. It will be hard place if someone some day attacts to Finland.
At 9:11 you can see me. I was in combat camera and was assigned to go with the rapid response unit (valmiuyksikkö).
the covers for your backpack even came with my swedish backpack for like 20 Euro lol :)
My home is in Helsinki Herttoniemi area, where many of these city-training is done.
Cuz biggest military base of Helsinki is rigth next door. And base is on it's own island.
Seen boys/and girls roaming around many times and years.
This "Kehä" ex. is of cuz biggest of the year.
People in Finland are accustomed to seeing the military train amongst the general populace. I know that has sometimes given some heebie-jeebies to tourists and other foreign visitors. 😏
And most of us actually like seeing it. Partly because of our history, partly because of the conscription.
The Mandalorian was a great show. It was pretty down to earth (if you can say that about a galaxy far, far away), which was nice in its own way, compared to the usual huge events in Star Wars. Lots of fighting as well.
"Hakkaa päälle" was the battle cry of Finnish soldiers during The 30-year-war. In old Finnish and still on moderni Estonian (hakka peal) it still means basicly "let's go, let's start". Google "Hakkapeliitta" or "Hakkapeliitat" in plural. Modern Finnish has changed since those days and now it sounds a bit confusing. Well "beat on".
In kehä 20 there rains 4 days in a row. Only last 2 days were cloudy. I was in that video so i know what there happens.
Few years ago we have a exercise Where we evacuate small town.
Good stuff. How can I send you recommendations/ links? 👍
hey, you might want to watch "On Board Britain's Nuclear Submarine: Trident"
I was there, fun times :,)
The Helsinki subway is just one lane, so it's not so hard to navigate there :)
Greetings from Finland :)
Check out the videos about the finnish field artillery!! About Karjalan tykistörykmentti (where I serve as an officer candidate (will rank up to secondary liutenant next month) and as the chief of an artillery battery) and the kenttätykistö 100 vuotta video! Artillery is a very big part of our defence system and one to be very proud of!
Nice content! Have you watched the Clone Wars?
Also, in these Kehä training (Local troops), own equipment is okay to be used. Like PC and other gear. No weapons tough... So, you can see different set ups with these reservist. There are lots of active reservist in these local troops, so people like to buy own gear to be more okay in trainings...
Hi CAC. Thanks for yet another interesting reaction video! If you haven’t already seen it, I would recommend watching “Legacy of our veterans” published by the Finnish defense forces here on UA-cam. I would be interested to hear your thoughts about the veterans’ stories.
I was in kehä 19. Part when you check out our gears, I was that guy with boonie in my head. Overall hole exersice was amaising experience. More information, just ask.
hakkaapäälle pohjanpoika! ''strike upon them, son of the north''
Would it somehow be possible for u to have finnish assault rifle RK95 and take it to a shooting range and share your opinion about it? That would be super interesting.
I still think you should do a reaction to my Combat Arms Channel tribute "How to make a proper brew" video 😉 but then I am biased of course 🤙
if ya check close they have these laser detectors at them, which will record the fighting and show where ya shot, did ya hit, where ya did hit damn nice training system, so afterwards you can see the big picture, even you are a basic dude, they are fitted in tanks and everything.
I applied for a few jobs in the Finnish military and it reminded me of the conscription days even though I'd be an IT support chump who will never hold a gun as much as a keyboard, but anyway, I found this channel and it's great.
The difference from the US is that you dont have any threat on your soil but in Finland we train in the area where we would fight if disaster hits!
