I was out sailing pretty close to where the exercises were held, the amount of non-stop activity in the air was insane! Low flying groups of helicopters, Ospreys circling around islands, Harriers and Hornets flying all over the place, all while we were chilling out on a boat in the sunshine with some beers, it was amazing!
😂 Imagine if you didn’t know about the exercise. 🤣

@@herbb8547 I'm not sure what you mean by that, or what you think I said
The ”bangalore” in the video is 20 meters long and is packed with 20kilos of TNT. It is used to make a path through a mine field.
it was cool to use that when I was at the army as combat engineer sergeant, you really could feel the explosion ....
The US Marines and the Finish special forces together? Now that is a tough group of soldiers. Nice to see them working together. As an American, I am proud to count Finland as our ally.
It is possible that there was finish special forces in training, but most of finish troops in video were conscripts. There was also some reservist in that training.
@@arikansakoski9070 Either way, it's good to see them training together.
There was...atleast the frogmen 😉
@@arikansakoski9070 only conscripts. Was there :)
@Herb B United States does not have to guess here in north where HKL (hauptkampflinie) resides, or is it manned? Left flank of fight in Baltic states/Poland does not hang in air. With Finns in party, left flank is bedded in solid granite. Finns are fully capable of striking deep and hard if russia tries to concentrate its forces for offensive elsewhere.
We dragged our brother Sweden also to party. Swedes will wipe Baltic Sea from anything resembling russian, offer air bases for the battle, and keep replenishments going over Baltic Sea, regardless whatever happens in Suwalki gap.
In regards to the "bad orders". They are only bad if you are used to top-down mirco management. This is text book mission command. Giving the guy on the ground a general idea, and total freedom to apply them to the situation.
The US Navy's amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge is so beautiful ship. There were no public visits or presentations arranged for the ship but it was nice to see it live when it was docked in Helsinki (before their exercise)
I hope they put on a fresh coat of paint for the visit haha
yea. kearsarge is such a huge vessel with a huge punch. it was also nice to follow her and the other ship which was in tallinn to leave to the excercise. at one point both turned off the civilian identifications
@@CombatArmsChannel it was looking very presentable 😅👍
USMC and FDF are training alot at least past few years. I saw 3 USMC Ospreys flying over city of Espoo were I work about a month ago. As old FDF Jaeger this really is cool to watch and glad that we and our American friends are training together. Oorah!! 🇫🇮🇺🇸💪
Yes, the wheels on the NH90 retract. Other notable choppers where wheels retract are: Airbus H215 and MH65 Dolphin
The thing at 4:54 is a mine clearing charge.
AKA Bangalore, yes.
USMC/Army and FDF have been training alot in past 10 years. Rangers have been here if I remember correctly with Abrams, Bradleys and Strykers. I saw 3 USMC Ospreys flying over city of Espoo were I work about a month ago. As old FDF Jaeger this really is cool to watch and glad that we and our American friends are training together. Oorah!! 🇫🇮🇺🇸💪
I took apart of this training and i have to say USMC boys are top of the line,we learned alot from them and they learned from us. The training was intense and oh boy the Marines did not like our rocky coast terrain at all.
I heard the mechanized americans said the same about our forests 😂
@@janizzkar Haha brother,you are tight there! You dont do much with tanks here thats for sure. ( unless it gets in land )
@@zewalon its been really fun seeing how suprised all the nato forces coming here for exercises keep getting suprised by our reservists and conscripts on how good they are 😂
@@janizzkar I know right ! People dont realise that we have an good army. We have learned from history. I remember doing training with British spec ops and they were also just straight up mad. " Fuck this terrain,you go over a rock and theres a nother bigger one,you want to go around it but these cunts just keep on goin " :D
The medical exercises are very important in our geography. I'm a ranger/recon trained medic in the Border Jaegers, and the vast wilderness we trained in is unimaginable to phantom how difficult taking care of the wounded can actually be. From getting hit and given first aid on the heat of the battle to evacuating the patient from the frontlines all the way to the group medical tent, toward the light field medical tent and to the field hospital. After our rehearsal training exercise for the Final war exercise, we had to evacuate four patients through a 36 hours of a continuous march in a wilderness. Water crossings included.
That stress absolutely teaches everyone to pull together to keep your wounded friends alive. Even hypothermia becomes an issue very early on when you have a patients just laying still on carry-on stretches.
I mean you can read about it novels, and watch films about it all day. You realize the actual hurt and pain only after you've carried someone 10km straight and know there's at least 40km still ahead of you.
And sometimes proper evacuation is nearly impossible. You guys must have trained to do an hideout in the wild for the wounded, who's given some food and water, along with pistol and one bullet. It was mentally quite hard when you laid there and thought about such situation in real life.

Patient hives were thought to us, but only for the most immobile patients that wouldn't last the stretch...
Hakkaa päälle! Brothers in arms.
Komea profiilikuva
@@pekkajarvinen69 kiitoksia, ite tein sen joskus.
When the teamwork gets to the lvl that there is no problems and everything goes naturally, its gonna be awesome :)
This was one of the best videos for a while, such a dynamic, high speed proper good training op!
Yeah, put too short.
2:30 They do retract. Just like on the CH-53. :)
4:50 Yes that is the bangalore torpedo or Putkiraivain in Finnish.
That pipebomb makes 1 meter wide mine free run zone. Its really heavy. It can have over 20kg dynamite in it.
There is always a team giving coverfire to pioneer who push the bomb in place.
Heh, didn't even know, but my cousin's son took part of this exercise. He said to me that they took part of that amphibious docking, as well as they were given the opportunity to try out some of U.S marine weapon systems. This NATO yhing really has brought way more exercises with England, USA and other big NATO allies. I'm salty to be too old and never gotten to join this cool kind 9f exercises. 😶😔
maakuntajoukoissa olis tilaa ;)
Just read in our media, that the USMC (marines) will perform a training session in the Nylands Brigade (the only Swedish speaking garnision In Finland) for two months, starting October 2022. I served there back in the 60'ties, but then it was a infantery/artillery unit. Now it has been more like the US Marin Cores units fore many years. I strongly thanks and welcome the USMC to Dragsvik/Ekenäs/Finland.
Thanks for the reaction! I was hoping you’d like it. First Aid training / evacuation training is very important. Gotta have it in your “muscle memory.”
There are British troops in Finland now also. Russia really aint liking this. Ha ha ha
That long pipe was to explode way through the minefield, Pioneer tool, to get troops advance through the hole it made. It explodes and detonates mines so infantry can penetrate through enemy lines.
Yes, the landing gear go inside the hull of the NH90.
To bad that the nh90 is such a shit helicopter
@@hampusfranzen7060 I guess by rumours, the Italian(?) version is shit. Finnish ones were build here in Finland and havent got same issues as Norwegians have.
@@FinZippo Finnish NH90 have high availability compared to many of the others. But the FDF also experienced teething issues in the beginning.
@@FinZippo Not just reliability issues but the act that even after 20 years the Norway still hadn't received all of the helicopters they had bought ... Which begs the question of WTF was going on in NH industries end of things.
@@FinZippo No they are shit, there was a time when they had to increase the funding on those because only 2 were operational. It was basically a wake-up call. I haven't flown one or repaired but I've been inside them multiple times and they don't do anything better than any other helicopter and definitely not more cheaply or reliably
A Dutch news agency just described the FDF as "the best trained military force in Europe". We will take that compliment with the grace it deserves... 😏
Link? 😅
@@tonikaihola5408 ua-cam.com/video/cP8V22hcUi0/v-deo.html
Man this video brought back memories! Had some exercises on that exact island where most of this is filmed.
One exercise was at that same spot where you commented that the guy backed out when shooting began.
That time we had live ammo with tracers mixed in, it was at dusk and got pretty dark. We had moving targets on the opposite side (the same direction they were firing).
I remember seeing tracers ricochet from hitting that bedrock. Good times :)
Awesome!!! 👍👍👍😎 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
I believe the people laying the bangalore torpedo went in unarmed because a rifle contains enough iron to set off magnetic mines in that mock minefield.
Yeah. Loads of helicopters run gear in. CH53 retracts, Mi24, does, Puma. Guess you don’t pay attention until you see them hovering above ground with it in.
Haha true that
Those over guys flew over my home. Two NH-90's, two Chinooks and two Black Hawks. That was a sound of freedom. I just loved that.
really awesome, you should check finnish defense forces Combat Camera Showreel 2021, im pretty sure you have only reacted to the 2020 version. i could be completely mistaken
Se on tehny siihe reaktion jo
@@OhukaisMies_54 juu tajusin/yes I realized he did
I was on my summer cottage some time ago in Mid-Finland. Me and my bro heard this sick noise beyond the ridge and wondered wth is that. A moment later a freaking Chinook flew past us. So cool, first time a saw one! 🇫🇮🇺🇸
Wonder if it was the same Chinook I saw, in Lahti region. I almost dropped my eyes and drove off the road when I saw it!
@@heliheikkinen6326 I was near Nokia at the time. But actually I think I saw one in Lahti too
All fun and games in july august but ask how they'd like to try it again in the end of November before snow falls and sea gets ice coverage and slush is raining sideways at 20mph straight into your face and sun goes down at 4pm
Different kind of beast but misery loves company
It seems the ch 53 also has retractable landing gear
Many thanks for giving insight. For a plain UA-camr it’s an awesome video where a lot of things happening but at the same time a lot of things doesn’t seem to connect.
5:07 reminds me of my army time when we used those I am a combat engineer sergeant.. it was cool thing to train with explosives and mines..
I was in Hanko a few weeks ago and these were flying over all day.
I stood next to that aircraft landing area in the the start of the video. The sandstrom was massive thats all I can say
Nice to see you so stoked with this one! It's a great vid!
Really liked that longer view on medevac. Yes, Initial assesment and treatment is golden. But with criticals any delay with evacuation is bad. So I agree, it is important to train the 9liner also. Would be a bummmer to loose a guy because of badly trained protocols 😬
Augusta-Westland is one of helicopter constructor that have retractable wheels on their civilian and military vehicles
LOVE YOU REACTIONS!!!
Yeah the wheels retract inside the hull of the NH-90
NH-90 front landing gear goes in the frame and the two back ones have pods
I love the "Panssarivaunukomppania" as i served there as a tank mechanic :D
Could be a safety thing that their only thing was to bring that explosion to the field, saw in a earlier vid that they used "electrical fuse" so its probably safety. Usually when we had like the military police coming to learn about explosives we had other rules and only a few got to play with our toys. I still today remember when we made our own training by having like 200kg rigged to go off for 2-3 mins simulation artillery while we ran in and pushed 40kg "mine clearing pipe", afterwards we grilled some sausages on over some logs and a 1kg was it tnt while our lieutenant explained to us about "explosion speeds". I still miss the shock wave from that 40kg going off because we stayed a bit closer than allowed to enjoy it, but was forbidden to raise the head to burn off your eyebrows. Our lieutenant did say its addictive and still after 20+ years I would probably pay to get to blow something up to feel that shock wave.
nice to see some costal artillery action(not sure of traduction), i did my military service there and I always joked that we were more like a logistics/maintenance unit since most of the time shooting those was spent cleaning for hours and carrying some heavy ass grenades in tight spaces!
Never seen a helicopter with its wheels inside the body?!! Have you never even seen a documentary series called 'Airwolf'?!! 😂😂😂
🙈
The marines are in sweden right now
Yeah as are Royal Marines.
@@chethemerc7841 Great to see them all working together.
That yellow long tube is to clear out any mines or booby traps from width of 30cm for infantry to advance through for ie. a mine field. The pioneers usually have that equipment. That yellow tube has explosives inside it for the whole length.
i did training a few months ago with a cavalry regiment of the us army and a bunch of other foreigns aswell and it was alot of fun and seeing the strikers in action was cool for sure. I also "destroyed" two of them during the exercise which is a big flex of mine. lol
It might of already been mentioned to you but there is a British show called ultimate force in where Ross kemp plays a Sargent in the SAS you might want to check it out.
Great vid as usual…..
The Queen is dead , Long live the king 🙏🏻
Rip queen Elizabeth u will be missed
It was pretty great during these exercises to see Us and Uk helicopters fly over my house nice to see they get such awesome training wish i got to do these kinda things in my consription service :)
I still wonder why other Nordic countries apart from Finland have/had so much trouble with their NH-90 helicopters...
Sure FDF had issues with it too but most if not all kinks have been worked out and it serves very well but not so lucky with Norway & Sweden. Odd...
02:16
Off the top of my head I can only recall Comanche and Mi-24. Oh and the NH-90 does retract it's wheels.
There may be a bunch of NH90ies coming up for sale if the Swedes go through with their plan to switch to Blackhawks. That would mean both the ground forces and naval variant. I wonder if we Finns could scrape enough money together for them. 🤔
Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin and Sikorsky S-76 have retractable landing gear as well.
I guess Finns are accustomed to making things work. ;)
I thought we got rid of fixed coastal artillery, but I guess it was "just" that training for new crews has stopped but they'll be kept around as long as trained reserves remain,.
Well, being a reservist in the fixed coastal artillery... yeah, we no longer "exists". But the guns do. So yeah, I'm sure they would be still used, but considered more of secondary set. After all, you can see them in aerial shots and even satellite pictures, so anyone invading would know exactly where they are. But in the rare case they they are missed (or forgotten, since not in active use) I'm sure they would get some action if things got real.
Airwolf retracted its wheels, best chopper ever
When my brother was in the Finnish army he was on he's last training and there was the US Canada and I think th UK and he told me it was so cool to see the different type of gear everyone had
2:25 yes they do go into the Nh-90
In NH-90 wheels go inside.
Wheels go in.
Good o'l coastal rangers. Gogo
Yes the wheels retract.
That was a perfectly good order giving the option on how to bring the fight to the enemy to the ones that will do the task. Harassing the enemy can be done in many wayes. If you can do it in a way that keeps the enemy from sleaping for 96 hours you have done a good job, if you at the same time can kill several of the enemy its even better. However after 96 hours without sleep the enemy will be usless.
Panssarivaunukomppania ☺️ good memories surface when I look at your wall.
at first i need to ask, where is that baby yoda? not any more you back side there, but anyway good video Theo, liked and shared also my twitter, see you in discord 😁😁😎😎🤙🤙💪💪
Panssarivaunukomppania😍
"Rosvojoukko" aka "group of bandits"(transalationi)
I think i actually watched that before. Is it the finnish army channel or another one?
God save the Queen
I dont think this was part of Vigilant Fox. That was the readiness units of Finland. These guys look like coastal brigade, combat divers, witch are part of the navy.
Finnish NH-90's have rectractable landing gear (wheels)... They say it saves on the maintance when they arent exposed to elements during flight.
when I got out coastal artillery 85 they told me that next generation will be trained for missiles 😂
When u gues start To arest finish coverment whit Q team? 🤔😅
I was born 66 in Finland and I learned as a kid that Russia (Soviet Union) at that point was a like a big brother
to as I grow up wathing eastern block cartoons and I love russian people I'm just so disappointed todays russian politics I wan't this dude gone...
🇫🇮
Nh-90 wheels go in 🇫🇮
Very cool choppers and boats. Good 'military porn'. No offence. 😎👍
the wheels do go inside. time 2:15
United State Marine Corps 🇮🇩
The "officer trainees" (or whatever they are in English) told us that "The highest rank of navy is admiral. And we won't (give attention?) to them."
Also these dudes seem more like "Marine borderjaegers?"
👍👍
They were in Afghanistan together as well, you can watch some of the finns on combat patrol there on UA-cam. Most people don't know that, but you can volunteer in the military to go to a combat zone or peacekeeping posting.
👍
Looking forward to my 90-year-old mom's favorite: The United States Marines! exercising with the most resourceful warriors I have ever know, the Finn's! (my dad used to call it "armeija", i.e,, =, "army"). Regardless, Semper Fidelis! ua-cam.com/video/DbSNfbWbjCY/v-deo.html
to harras or piss off an enemy is a good order to my opinion it was a traditional order of Finnish army all the way from 1939 I think it worked fine sometimes too well 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
Have you become a Finnish Army fan? lol that's cool, everyone unite always!
Combat drivers just jump. They are Finnish ws yours USA Seals. And they are good.
But mostly this is coastal jaegers.
Combat divers are different shit.
