Thank you for your sharp-sighted commentary on our videos! We’ve been watching your channel for quite some time, keep up the great work.
Even The official Finnish Defence Forces UA-cam page is telling you thank you. :D You should be proud ;)
@Puolustusvoimat thank you for your reaction.
Allways awake👍🙂
Hyvää reagointia PV!
i love it
What increases the realism of the video for us Finns is that the newscasters are actual newscasters we see on TV every day.

That was nelonen news Mikko Hirvonen, not the rally driver Mikko Hirvonen😁
You will love this: A couple of years ago a Russian fighter plane breached the air space. It was identified by a Finnish fighter in one minute. A reporter asked the defence forces "how can you possibly be there in one minute when your nearest airfield is 20 minutes away?" And here comes the epic response: "Exactly."
Ok the reporter wasn't satisfied with that and asked the Minister of Defence the same question and the answer: "Our planes are where they need to be at the right time".
The Finnish air force is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.
Ever heard of radar?
@@SirGli7chAlot And what's radar got to do with visual identification?
@@2A4FIN It has everything to do with it! If you can see them coming long before they reach your airspace, then you can also calculate exactly where they will be at a certain time. The F-18 reaches speeds of 1915 km/h, so flying to visually identify a Russian bogey, would not take many minutes once it is in Finnish airspace. You seem to think Finnish pilots are like Superman (and i'm not denying the excellent skills of Finnish fighter pilots) when it's actually all down to modern technology and a good dosage of flight training.
@
Jukka Michelsson 20 minutes away? A flight with the F-18 Hornet flying ca 2000km/h has it making 33km/min. Finland has 45 military airfields and on them there are Hornets on quick-rotation alert all across the country. Finland also has excellent radar systems that will calculate the flying path of bogies long before they reach Finland's airspace, giving ample time for its interceptors to reach and identify them. It's not magic, it's modern technology and good pilot skills.
They don't use English call signs because it sounds cool. They use them because it makes co-operation with NATO-countries easier.
I did my service in signal corps. All of our comm systems are NATO-compatible.
Kyllä lentäjät käyttävät englantia. The Airforce pilots use english.
@@hapkido7442 Hän tarkoittikin, että he eivät käytä englantia siksi että se olisi coolia, vaan käyttävät sitä siksi että yhteistyö nato-maiden kanssa olisi jouhevampaa.

The thing the medic gave the injured soldier is a fentanyl lollipop - way more powerful than morphine.
Hundred times more powerful than morphine, if I remember it right.
That is insane!!
Moomin lollipop
Sadly they didn't give us any during our medic training because I reckon people used to get high on them on their spare time
@@_MaZTeR_ It is quite a potent opioid which means it is classified as narcotic substance and it can cause a respiratory arrest so there might be a couple of reasons why. Since it is a narcotic substance giving it to somebody without a narcotic prescription would be a crime. Same as if you give for example a Panacod tablet prescribed to you to your friend that would also be a criminal offence.
Im honored to have allies like the Finns 🇺🇲🙏🏻
As a Finn now living in Sweden I think i never felt this patriotic and emotional at the same time for my home country. When the news cast said, Finland is at war, from there emotions went everywhere... Thinking back to all the men and SISU Finland showed back in the 40's against soviet, doing an amazing job against a super power.... We are strong! If this happens again, we done this before and we will overcome 💪🇫🇮💪
As most of us Finnish men are part of the reserves, this really hits deep. I even recognized one of the guys in the video, we served at the same time.
During training it never really feels scary, but watching videos like these make you realize how real the threat is, especially considering the Crimea incident. I just got called for refresher training (one of the first actions in the video), and even though that is normal, it just got more real. I sincerely hope I never have to fire a gun at a person, but if needed, we have to defend.
Heh i got also ordered for refresher training and it has been only half a year from the end of my conscription service 😂 EDIT the leader of Finnish "protection" police (Suojelupoliisi) was just in the news saying that there has been foreign powers trying to buy strategically important areas somewhere in Finland like houses/areas and that kind of stuff😂 what a timing
We drink the threat of Russia from our mothers milk and the way to fight them. It is not only WWII era that they have been our enemies, as far as written history goes, we have been fighting them, this is literally true.
Yet, somehow we have managed to keep the border where it is, i would go even as far as to say that if there is one nation to actually beat Russia, only Finland has a chance for that, given it has resources to do it.
It is natural to us, it is not something we learn.
@@duhni4551 Bullshit. Last time our fathers fought them was in 1944. Älä ota kunniaa asioista mitä et ole itse tehnyt. Oot koulutettu intissä ja thats it. Ajat muuttuu, muutu sinäkin.

Follow Putin. In early 2000s he said that only those who want to join Russia, will do so. Is has been Russian politics for the last decades and will continue to be so. Crimea is 99% Russian, people consider themselves as Russians and they voted in a referendum to join Russia since Ukraine is done anyway. Finland’s case is totally unrelated to Crimea and there’s no threat to Finland in any way
Since you asked: The emergency powers act, when taken into use, gives the Finnish government more lawful methods to take action for example in a military conflict. It was recently used in Finland because of the covid-19 epidemic. It basically gives the government more rights to control the population whenever Finnish national security is at risk for some reason or another. It is like one step before a full martial law. I hope this helps you, even though i explained it in a very simplified way.
The essence of the emergency powers act is that government can establish laws, normally only the parliament can. These laws established by the government must be retroactively approved in the parliament as soon as feasible. The parliament can also decide to not approve, in which case the law becomes void.
Fast and flexible system that still avoids being a full-blown martial law.. Nice
And beyond the emergeny powers act there is the state-of-defence act with more candy to government.
For example as a nurse, they can order us to where they need for certain periods. Even if you work in a different field but have medical training, you can be ordered to serve for example in a hospital or something for a few weeks at a time. You pretty much have no say in the matter.
Basically like martial law
Apart from NATO, Norway needs a _specific_ operational plan to *HAUL ASS* over to Finland the _moment_ anybody as much as _looks_ in their direction.
Norway and Finland are brothers. Our language may be different but the language of facing diversity and protecting our home we speak fluently.
Much love to Finland from Norway, _Hyvää Suomi_
finland and norway are the best nordic countries :")
Sweden and Norway would be in full military mobilization if Finland are under attack and ready to fight with Finland if that day come because of a defence pact agreement signed not long ago between nordic countries that border each other.And Norway are a Nato member and that way Nato would intervene without a doub not long after.In this scenario its Finland fighting alone and reality thats not the case if anything go down.Finland is the strong shield of the north and they do not stand alone...if anyone did wonder thats all :) cheers from Norway
@@maple494 what about Russia? Are we not cool?
@@dimapez it is not 1939, I am afraid - supply lines will be destroyed among the first. Not that I imply that someone will attack Finland. I sencerely hope this will never happen. Otherwise, Russia will deliver a deadly punch to anyone who decides to bother our friendly neighbor and fellow Russian empire member.
@@dimapez well, things are heating up right now, any news on arms supplies to Finland? Yeah, it is not that simple. Besides, Finland is the last of Russia's worry at any given time granted it retains it's status quo.
One point to add. Finnish military forces are called "Puolustusvoimat" which translates to "defence forces". We are prepared to defend ourself not to invade. That is the main point of our army
Yeah because finland is big enough for us. There could be Like 50 million humans on finland and lapland would still be empty (most parts) we dont need New places when you still have the old ones
@@Kissalege We still need karjala, petsamo, meänmaa and Finnmark.
@@roopeharju9662 why. Ryssäs have ruined them too much. Too much money would go To fixing them
@@Kissalege I dont remember who refused it but russians tryed to sell Karjala to Finland. Petsamo would still be worht it.
@@roopeharju9662 Boris Yeltsin offered to sell the Karelian Isthmus for 15 billion euros in 1991 but it would've been a bad financial decision because too much money would go into restoring the place and there would be a lot of new infastructure that would have to be built. But it would give Finland a good hold of the Gulf of Finland.
After watching this again, it made me cry. As a native Finnish person, this just hits too hard. Hardest part was that when the news reporter said "Finland is at war". Thank you for watching this, we are ready for everything.
Agreed. Never thought of myself as especially patriotic, but watching "enemy" tanks roll onto Finnish soil from that boat made me feel nearly sick, and I couldn't stop tears from rolling from my eyes at the "Finland is at war" part.
That news part was so realistic because it was an actual news reporter.
Yeah, that "Finland is at war" hit really hard

@@rasehorn If I remember correctly in the future we are going to have one brigade which will be specially prepared to act in Finnish territory. However this was part of the new defense plan, which the government now refuse to fund due to corona.
@@paecmaker If I remember my history correctly this Isn't exactly a new idea as there was a contingency plan where Sweden "invades" Finnish Lapland and Finland would cede control of Lapland to "invaiding" force without fight if Finland would come under attack from other hostile force. This was in effect form 50's to the collapse of Soviet Union
@@rasehorn yes. But it is diffrent now. The decision to create a mecaniced brigad for early deployment in Finland. With that only Purple. That is not the only new thing. The decision that both our defence forces will be using eachothers military infrastruķture in a crisis, that is new. The agreement between Finland, Sweden and USA, that is new(ish), atleast by being confirmed in public. Amongst other things that is new. I know what you where refering to, but that is not the same compared to what is ment to happen now. We are suppose to act tougether now.
This is knowend in both contrys military and in our populations, This information was made public for a reason.
Scandinavia needs to unite under one flag! Destroy EU!
Emergency powers act of Finland is quite interesting. I am not a lawyer, but my understanding of it after reading into it is that it would technically allow the Finnish government to nationalize everything that's on Finnish soil. They can order McDonalds to hand in the trucks they own and use them for army logistics. They'll pay McDonalds afterwards for the trucks, but only if Finland survives the war. Finnish war laws are pretty hardcore by Western standards. There's still the element of total war mobilization where 100% of the society is made to serve the war effort.
"Section 32 (198/2000)
For purposes of securing the appropriate performance of official duties or of civil
defence, the Government may issue Decrees on the requisitioning of:
(1) buildings and premises; and
(2) transport, rescue, firefighting, clearance, first aid and communications
equipment, computers and other supplies indispensable for the performance of
official duties or of civil defence.
Section 33
(1) In emergency conditions referred to in section 2(1)-(3), the Government may:

(1) as required for economic and military preparedness, oblige a person to
relinquish goods to the state and to perform work, services, transportation or
other necessary tasks;
(2) issue orders on communications and alterations to communications networks;
(3) declare a curfew, if the protection of the population or targets important to the

This all goes back to the Winter War of 1939-40 against the Russian attack. My Dad and Uncle fought them then!
The emergency powers act is total mobilization of all assets
Actually there is a law that dictates that if the complex being built is over 1200 sq/m it is mandatory to have a bomb/civilian shelter in it. The law was reworked at the end of 19 hundeds because it impacted the large scale cattle farming too much.
"so realistic".. wonder why they faked the recoils. erikoisjääkärit was a joke..

26:38 I believe that is a fentanyl lollipop (or some other painkiller). Lollipops are popular over syringe painkillers because absorption through the mouth is quicker, and if the medic has time, he can tape it to the casualty's finger. This way if the casualty passes out, his hand falls and takes the pop with it, reducing the likelihood of delivering unnecessary amounts of painkiller. Almost like a fire and forget painkiller solution in that you also don't need to hunt for blood vessels to administer.
I've never heard of such a thing. Very cool!
@@CombatArmsChannel We use the same thing in the Danish army. The whole idea behind it is "keep it simple stupid". Every soldier is trained in administering the fentanyl lollipop, and every soldier has the fentanyl lollipop as part of their Individual First Aid Kit.
It is also easy to see that the casualty has been given the pain killers when there is a lollipop taped to his thumb
@@Razbojnik666 what if you eat the lollipop before your injured 🤔🤤

In this video, the strategy deployed by the attacking force bears a striking resemblance to the strategy Russia used when they invaded Ukraine in many respects. Funnily enough, these videos don't come out nearly every year - they come out every time Russia apparently makes major changes to their plans and doctrines. These videos serve two main purposes: to educate the Finnish conscripts of course, but also to tell the Russians in no uncertain terms that we know what they are up to, and putting those plans into action would not be smart.
Also, the "performance" of Russian troops in Ukraine has been so abysmal in almost every possible way that if Ukraine had the equivalent of Finnish air force and field artillery at their disposal, they would probably have wrapped things up by now.
Was performing nurse internship at the hospital in Vaasa when the invasion started. Some of the male nurses employed there were called to "kertausharjoitus" while I was there.
@@oshixxxx That is unusual. Usually the people who are employed in medicine or some such, that would anyway be needed to do their thing in times of war, are exempt from reserve training; since if it came to war, they would anyway not be called, but instead made to stay at their civilian work in the hospital/whatever.

Great video!👍 As a swede with some experience in the armed forces, i would say your in deep shit if you attack any of the nordic countries in these days. We have a lot different skills and resources, which means that we complement each other extremely well. And we have trained a lot together for many, many years. If you look into how our countries reacts when any of us gets in trouble of any kind, like big accidents, terroristattacks and so on, we always respond in an instant, offering our helo. We do tease each other all the time, like when it comes to sports or competition in any way. In that way we act a lot like sibblings. But we also act like sibblings in other ways, because no one touch my sister or brother and if someone would be stupid enough to do that, then i will personally introduce them to the gods in Vallhalla.😉
🇫🇮 🇳🇴 🇩🇰 🇸🇪
I fully agree with you on that we're like siblings. We like to tease each others but if some outsider tries to mess with one of us, we'll gang up on the bully instantly. There's a reason why Nordic countries have been training together for quite some time and yet we make jokes about each other 😉.
And it seems that we're going to be formal allies very soon (hopefully Sweden's accession to Nato membership will follow quickly)
I must say as active reservist, we dont have losing option
That is what it is all about. Well said buddy. We will prevail.
Thought counts
Yes, indeed. And that actually poses a problem for Finland from joining NATO. NATO will give guarantees that they will assist a member country under attack. But they can not guarantee that a member country can not be occupied by the enemy during the course of the war. NATO would commit to overall victory over the enemy and then (at least supposedly) to restore the sovereignity of enemy occupied ally countries after the war. But I think it is an unsustainable situation, Finland will put everything they have to never be fully occupied, even if it looks very grim. So we will have to commit (and have committed) on strong national defence. Defence that is ready and up to standards to welcome any allies (Sweden, NATO), sure, but we can not rely on NATO to restore our freedom after WW3. That is just not the plan that has won and continues to win such high public support for military defence in Finland.
Estonia and other Baltic countries join NATO, help them anyway they can, get overrun as soon as the war starts and then wait for NATO to win and free them. It is understandable given their geographic location and resources.
But for Finland that would be an unacceptable plan and such a plan by the state, if revealed, would be catastrophic for public defence morale.
Let's just hope we will never hear these words @27:14. As Finnish person this would be worst nightmare to hear. Even this is only a demonstration, it still is quite hard to hear.
I made me very emotional and it was super hard to watch
Word up.
It was hard!
Worst words to be heard would be "we are part of Russia now". When you hear Finland is at war, that's when sisu starts.
Finland is word’s happiest country, but we are ready all the time.
We love peace but we’re ready to defence our independency.
Thank you Combat Arms Channel for your video and very friendly comments!!!
At 27:14 , when news anchor says "Finland is at war", it gets me.. Hopefully we will not be at war.
As a Swede I know we have a "harsh" friendship between our countries but I've both been deployed with Finns and worked with them on exercises like this in the movie. Finns are our great brothers and some great people and I fight alongside them any day of the week.
We have similar strategies and function as Finland, for example the war time laws or if we're attacked those laws are to give the military stronger ability and also to muster all men and women between the age of 18-47 that have done military service. Sweden and Finland have the same system with conscripts and also we do have a military alliance since none of us are members of NATO other then we have a partnership with NATO.
These scenarios are very real for Finns and Swedes.
This movie was extremely well done and Sweden share the same enemy and threats as Finland and we are brothers!
Edit: I use to both work and have participated in the CJSE ( Combined Joint Staff Exercise ) exercise that take place in Sweden every second year. It's an exercise that is set up between the Swedish Armed forces and the Swedish War college, it includes participants from several nations including NATO countries.
Finland use it as a part of the course for upcoming Majors on G level ( They are Captains ) and the exercise is scenarios just like in this video and we work together between different nations. The exercise takes place in Enköping ( Army ) at the Command and Control Regiment as well as parts in Uppsala ( Air Force base ) and Karlskrona or Muskö/ Haninge ( Navy/ Marine ).
It also includes civilians that are taking courses at different War Colleges around the world as well as civilian government branches.
It's an exercise on G and J level and very good exercise that last for the training personnel for 10 days.
Link to short brief from CJSE 17: www.forsvarsmakten.se/en/news/2017/04/on-cjse-we-exercise-together/
Ages 17-70 are obligated if called upon to serve in case of war
No doubt Finland has the closest ties to Sweden, in many ways. The two countries are getting closer in the defence sector, hopefully that develops in the future, the idea is widely supported in Finland.
There is just certain distrust for Swedish government because we feel like the Swedish government betrayed us last time in ww2. I know that there were many volunteers who went without permission and I truly respect that.
Havent our governments signed a military cooperation agreement saying if Finland is attacked, Sweden will join the fight. I think the agreement says that Sweden shall have 5000 mechanized/armoured troops ready all year to instantly assist Finland in case of war. A couple of CV90s with the 40mm Bofors wouldnt hurt, right
There isn't any "harsh" friendship between Sweden and Finland, we are simply friends. I mean really, if we Finns would have to evacuate, we would evacuate to Sweden, If Sweden would have to evacuate, they would most likely evacuate to Finland.
We have infrastructure for both people to live in our countries, much deeper than what Nordics in common have, this spells unity, not hardship.
i remember they said in the army that we will never completely destroy the enemy attacker coming from the east. but we will cause so much casualties to them they wont even consider it
Norway's strategy was simple: "Never again", we was going to sell us as expensive as possible...
side note: for the last 2-4 years we have experienced that GPS in Northern Norway is being disrupted and the Norwegian military have openly gone out and said it is the Russia and they have openly complained about it. But we do expect that from them, Russia love to test us, specially on the intelligence side, due to our close connection with USA and CIA
The enemy in the east part was important, no one could mention Russia as the potential enemy lol

We stand together or cease to exist. This is our fate with Russia being our neighbor.
Knowledge and doing are two different things. Finland has the knowledge but not the ability with this current military. With professional military and with Nato membership there would stand a chance to respond in an attack like described in this taistelukenttä 2020 video.

@@henrikholappa6837 And the banning of infantry mines was really bad for finnish defence forces. The new ones that are remote detonated are not reliable. If russia decides to march over the border, option a is that they are past them before they can be deployed and armed and option b is that they use a frequency jammer to prevent the remote detonation. I think that banning of infantry mines is probably the most hurtful thing to our first line of defence that has ever happened.

You have made a lot of Nordic friends with these videos.
I met with american soldiers from USAREUR Cavalry and Armoured elements from Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa in ARROW exersice 2018. For a conscript it was really cool to train with the professionals.
Liked and subbed!
Cheers brother! It's awesome having this community where we all seem to have these experiences that bring us together 💪
You meant to say "Combat Arms Channel" has made lots of Asian friends with these videos. I never got to train with any Asian military force before. Although I did drink with Japanese Navy. They're cool i guess. If there's any Asian military force I'd hope to train with, It'd be the Finns. Peace!
Boom Dos C´mon dude, Finland is NOT Asian country. Or maybe you just wanted to troll this country which is in fact Europe’s strongest defence lines towards East (Russia). And even western part of Russia belongs to European continent, everything east of Ural Mountains is considered Asia. I think from the people in video you could tell we are not Asian though 🤣. Just to finish, I need to say I have travelled my fair share in Asia - China, Taiwan, South Korea, Thailand. I love all those people, very nice, humorous, with great cultures. Would love to visit Mongolia once in my lifetime, to understand that way of life and people. I figure they could teach a lot regarding surviving harsh lands with sisu and spirit

18:40 that is not the actual thing but it describes the Finnish Defence Forces cituation center ( to keep track of what is going on to feed information to field command and general staff) they are located in unknown cave somewhere in the country.
23:40 we practice a lot of "going in blind" or bascialky running into the enemy. We leadears (everyone, company, platoon, squad, stufy the maps and navigate our platoon all the time and look out of the vehicle. So we woukd have some idea what is ahead. Map reading is skill Finns learn in very young age(usually).
30:20 You are very right. Finland has the largest willingnes to defend country by arms (against overwhelming enemy in europw) 84% (about can't remember excatly).
And about the fighting despite the odds one of the army marching songs parts describes it perfectly: "You childrend and thr elderly and you mothers and brides, so long you will have protected homes as there is even one man left to fight for it"
And I agree with you about the summary of the video. It was amazing to watch. You can see the things we trained and train for. It still "scares" me, hope this never comes true, but if it does I will, like many others, fight to the last dying breath.
Very well said and thank you for the info 💪
Quite right about the operations center. Being a reservist assigned to a regional opcenter...that's kind of how our skills specific refresh trainings look like (class room type setup) when we train, as you noticed, streamlined communications for example.
When we do a "live action" refresh training (usually in conjuction with a larger live fire exercise)...well, they take our phones away. So no, it's not going to be shown on YT.

Edit: Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet but this film took like 4 years to produce.
You guys are why I do it 👍 and that would make sense haha, very well produced
Someone already explained the Emergency Acts pretty well, they were actually taken into use due to the ongoing pandemic, which is the first time it has happened since WW2. Also something you might not have noticed is that the Coastal Jaegers who you see at 18:20 - ish, speak Swedish as its Finlands only Swedish speaking unit. I was the Guard Regiment and we trained with them for these kind of ops. They would attack from the sea, and we would go in from land, in a kind of pincer manoeuvre.
I Remember when this came out my mom (who works in some office job for the Finnish army don't remember the official name) gathered us all into the living room and put it on our tv for us all to watch like a family movie night
Enemy comes always from east. If not, it´s flanking.
"Fun" facts: President of Finland Sauli Niinistö (he's the commander of FDF during peacetime) is a reserve Captain. It's pretty funny when he goes to meet up with the military, he puts his gear on with a rank of a Captain :D I believe in a war scenario he would appoint some General to be the commander of Finnish army.
The President of Finland is the highest commander in all situations.
@@formatique_arschloch No, only during peace time. Commander-in-Chief could've been transferred to somebody else during peace pre-2012, but currently it can only be done during crisis.
Historically this happened in 1939, when President Kallio gave the position to Marshall Mannerheim. President Ryti never held the position, as Mannerheim kept it during Interim Peace and Continuation War.
@@Unknown1355 Exactly, COULD've been.
@@formatique_arschloch Yes, that doesn't change anything? You claimed CiC being the president at all times. I showed that this was not the case and even now the position is transferable. CiC is expected to be head of the Defence Forces during times of crisis.
@@formatique_arschloch Even if that was true he wouldn't be stupid enough to assume he's the most qualified to lead an entire army. In theory he could be a Company CO during wartime. Maybe a Battalion CO. He would probably just remain a President and let the current head of Defense Forces lead the army.

You said on video everything goes very smoothly on this case. Well there is second video produced at the same time with this, on which things are not so smooth. It is also training video, but it is used to prepare Finnish conscripts for things like trauma, fear, stress and anxiety. It's more brutal than this one and it will probably never be published.
Mindset and sisu was also mentioned several times. I think Finland is warrior society as far western democratic can be without going full North Korea. 70-80% of male population has served in military and it's common topic to discuss in work and hobbies. "Where did you serve" is usually kind of icebreaker when meeting a new guy. Whole defense system of Finland is carved in society. That colonel said we are prepared for worst. It's not just our army being a defense forces. Finland IS Defense Forces.

Most of the clips from the videos are clips from real joint operation field exersizes. We simulate these types of scenarios usually 4 times a year, so it's actually not acting.

Thanks for doing this video. As a Finnish reservist I also got a bit emotional because of your comments. We have prepared for decades, but it is maybe something that we do not actively voice, so someone noticing all that effort and appreciating us as an ally, it really means a lot. Thank you.

@@Tedger Our enemies do not have special rights to wage offensive wars against us.
Emergence Powers Act is same idea as State of emergency in US. In Finland It's set of laws that will give power to armed forces over civil rights. It have many steps, so it's not WAR on/off law. Last steps means that country in is in full war.
yep and even the corona pandemic caused some parts of Emergency Powers Act to be implemented... as far as I understood... correct me if I am wrong...
There is a BIG difference between Finnish and US state of emergency.
In the US, State of Emergency is an executive order the President can give to give restrictions, place sanctions against another country or allocate resources or funds to some purpose, even against the will of the Congress. The US has been continuously in state of emergency since 1979. There are 35 or so emergencies still going on simultaneously.
This was very nice to watch with u as a Finn. It's very nice to see how real and humble person u are. There is a lot of foreigners in UA-cam who praise Finland for nothing to get subs etc and gives me big cringe, so props to you who actually knows something whats all about. 5/5

As a reservist coastal missile jaeger and as a former security guard at Hanko port, this video hits home in more than one way. Having spent quite a few days watching cars being offloaded from ships at the port, the scene at 17:04 gives me the chills.
Also, I was curious whether you would react to the coastal jaegers speaking Swedish rather than Finnish, but I guess it is hard to notice the difference if you are unfamiliar with the Nordic languages.
As a coastal jaeger-unit reservist myself I can attest to this: The landing itself, the communication, and the advance felt real and immediately sent me back to our exercises. Having spent quite a bit of time in Hanko added a good chunk of immersion as well. I get him not realising it was Swedish, since us finnswedes just speak it with the phonetic Finnish pronounciation. Hoppas på att vi inte någonsin kommer att behövas utanför reservövningar.
Good to hear you saying it's nice to have allys like that. Thank you for that and respect and greetings from Finland to US armed forces.
The hovercraft is a plausible scenario especially in the south. The Finnish coastal archipelago is rocky and all public routes will be heavily mined to prevent naval access except for Finnish Navy units.
Something about the propability of such an approach can be deduced from the disguised island barracks with helipads bought by shadowy Russian companies with ties to GRU. Such facilities were uncovered last year close to strategic resources such as radio towers, grid transformers and refineries.
In a real situation the fog of war would probably be worse as a southern landing would be preceded by communication and infrastructure disruptions carried out by taskforces you can fit in a hovercraft.
After all this time, I come back to this video and your reaction. How right they were. Kudos to FDF and Combat Arms Channel.
I recommended it already, but especially seeing your reaction to this, "Tuntematon Sotilas" on Netflix will really give you the context of Finlands motivation behind this video and the mentality that goes into it. Finland is a really small, but really proud nation full of badass warriors who would rather die fighting than live bent over to an opressing power ever again. The fact that Finland as an independent nation is just over 100 years old is actually where it draws its strength from. Never again will it accept any foreign rule, and they will damn well make sure of that or at the very last die trying. (said by a proud half Finn born and raised in Sweden)
It would be an interesting movie to see a reaction to on this channel, not because it's a major Finnish movie and informative and entertaining etc, but because the overarching theme of the movie, inherited from the soulful novel by Linna, is a humane approach to the men tasked with fighting a desperate, inhumane war. It's a painfully honest description of life and death, the powers that be and the people in the middle. It does not glorify war nor support blind nationalism. The soldiers are ordinary men, as are all the people involved at all levels just mortals, each with the usual strengths and weaknesses and blind spots of men, of humankind, of us.
At least that's my impression but I may be biased and too lavish as I'm of course familiar with the story and the characters as most Finns are. CAC is not, so it'd be interesting to see if the movie speaks to him and if it is relevant to modern warfare still. Wars are often depicted in a distanced and mechanic manner, even death can seem like just a 'game over' as if the fear, pain and suffering is not real.
So yeah, a thumbs up to this suggestion :).
Too bad it probably is only in finnish netfix and doesn't have subtitles. The subtitles for English are missing also from the version that is in you tube so that you can either buy or rent it. Would be nice if they would make English subs to that film since I have at least few people who would be interested to see it but are English speakers. And from what I have heard the translation that is done for the book is pretty bad.
Finland surprises people...they’re pretty bad ass.
Just study the "winter war" of 1939. Its insane. As I was training to be a nurse, I actually met one of the veterans of that war. I later travelled to that battleground. Let me tell you, it was not fun to be a russian soldier on that front. Well, it wasnt fun for anyone but jeez. The number of casualties the russian army took are just insane.
My first introduction to the Winter War was in a Time Life Anthology book about WW2, US point of view. Read it when i was 13. The first volume "Prelude to War" had an entire section about the Winter War. I was hooked. One of the photos was of New York harbor I believe, the caption read "Ship loaded with Finnish-American volunteers bound for Helsinki." I was surprised we (US) had guys fighting the Soviets. I always wanted to know what happened to those guy. The Allies gave a middle finger to Finland, the entire pretext for the UK's involvement in WW2 was the defense of Poland, yet there were two countries that invaded Poland...
Those are real newscasters. The ones that give us the news every night on national TV. Makes it more real and serious.
The Finns handled the Russians well enough in 1940 despite being infinitely smaller in strength. They can do it again if necessary. Regards from UK.
would be nice though if we didnt have to... again.... when we called for help last time infallable churchill and others in the league of nations showed us the finger
i am damn sure boris johnson would be too lazy for even that, or he would pair up with a basket of popcorn and nigel farrage, and applaud the russians from the upper ranks in the theater like Statler and Waldorf comment happenings in the Muppet show.
Finland is member of the evil EU after all, and any damage to the EU is something great, innit.
@@zoolkhan You are correct on the assessment of help what we would get we'd get shit from our allies. Only countries that vested interest of helping Finland in crisis is Finland...aaand maybe Sweden as they know they'd be next. But as usual well fight for Swedes it's always been like that and it's not changing ever unless we skip boat and ally our selves with Russians. Nobody in western world gives rats ass about what would happen to Finland if not, England, not Germany which is supposed to be our grates ally and definitely not U.S. So I tend to agree on that it would be real nice not have to do it again but I fear that it's not if Russian invade it's when they invade and the way world is turning I'm afraid that it's sooner rather than later.
@@zoolkhan dont forget Donald Trump, whom mostlikely would justify an ryssian, for some retarded reason also.
Yeah, except we lost that war. Also Soviets weren't very good strategists. Winter was the deadliest opponent soviets had against them, and if we look into the next conflict you can easily see that they learned from their mistakes.

An opioid called fentanyl, transmucosally administered, to be precise. Looks like the product is called Actiq in the US.
So happy and proud to count Finland and its people as allies. Good folk.
The current situation in the baltic sea, with the sabotage of the finnish-estonian gas pipe and the disruptions of one of our telecommunication cable is eerily following the first few minutes.
This kind of scenario or scenarios are what we learned in army. "grey phase" was in pretty big focus. And lately our military has been training against sabotages with emergency services. And against surprise attacks by Green men like in Crimea. In this video you can see at least two of those exercises. One was about civilian plane that made emergency landing but it was SOF attack in reality. Other was same kind of scenario but in port with civilian shipping.
It's funny that in the video game "World in Conflict", set in the 1980s, the Soviet Union uses civilian freighters to invade USA in a similar manner.
Actually, in 1968 they invaded Czechoslovakia starting through capital airfield. Except, 103rd VDV Air Assault division with light armor followed immediately, moving quickly for strategic targets like government institutions, radio, etc. using the momentum and surprise.
I do not really get the idea of low intensity conflict in this context, where this would be just a waste of resources and throwing the moment of surprise. Low intensity operations make sense in context of Ukraine that is divided (hence supporting local militia in deniable manner). Not in highly homogeneous and patriotic country like Finland, IMHO. Or am I missing something?
@@jansvoboda4293 I saw that too. Shock and awe was/is doctrine of Germany, the Soviet Union and the U.S. Russia does dabble like it has in Syria, Libya and Ukraine, but a probing attack on a country that can "shoot back" is just bad tactics.
Netflix: The Unknown Soldier (2017 version). One of my top 5 films not because I am from Finland but because how well it is made.
