About MiG-21 and Draken. Finland had limits placed on them by the Soviet Union after WW2 alowing them only to have 60 fighters in total. However there was a secret deal between Finland and Sweden where Finland was training more fighter pilots then they needed and Sweden was storing surplus Drakens that could be flown to Finland on sort notice.
This was pretty cool. I served back in 1981-82 - I am sure most guys had a wonderful time in the army with these Soviet and Western toys, no matter what their branch was. For me the biggest surprise - without any previous experience with guns - was how deadly accurate the assault rifle was even at 300m. And MiG-21 is a mighty sight in Finnish colors!
I felt like I was watching a recruiting video for the Finnish military, it was really well done. Those RK62 rifles in the video were first produced in 1960, and fixed the AK’s horrible sight radius by moving the rear sight back. The Soviet AKM, lighter and easier to manufacture, introduced in 1961 if I remember right, didn’t improve on the AK47s sights at all.
The Soviet Union never tried to achieve the level of industrial standardisation that the West had. The Valmet/Sako style rear sight absolutely requires the receiver cover to be a 100% tight match with the receiver itself. That being said, I'm sure the old AKs were much cheaper to manufacture, if the price even really was a relevant issue in the Soviet Union. AK-12 probably isn't a cheap gun to make anymore, however.
This is a kind of a recruitment video, it was shown at conscription days to show the future fighters the different career options within the defence forces.

Well, I have never read of combat history of Draken. And as a Finn, thank God it never happened here. Mig-21Bis, known here in Finland as bison has been well tried in numerous conflicts around the globe. North Vietnam was quite succesfull with their hit and run tactics against the US strike fleets. On the other hand, the Arabs were less succesful during the Six day and Yom Kippur clashes.
Draken is a superior turn fighter which was much more desirable during the cold war. Americans flew giant formations high in the sky during Vietnam war which made it easy to follow them low while it made hard for them to spot a Mig-21 coming. MIG-21 was an interceptor, hit-and-run was ALL that it could do, but it did that the best (for a time). Ever heard of a FIN strike fleet? Neither have I.

Surprisingly the finns and the soviets had really good relations in the cold war. Mostly because Finalnd was neutral and didn't join the western powers. Soviets, or most precisely Stalin wanted this(finlandization) for the rest of europe(including eastern) tho that didn't work out.
Its funny how different all the nordic countries went, sweden was neutral, but still western alligned, and then you have the nato states of norway and denmark
Stalin wanted to seize Finland under the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. And even so, Finland's politics were very hot before Stalin's death. And when Khrushchev came to power, relations began to improve. But I would say Finland basically sees a purely defensive policy and its forces give the Fins time before the help of Europe and America

Untrue, there simply weren't enough rifles to go around so captured rifles were a necessity to fill ranks. It was also handy that Finns and the Soviets shared the rifle caliber and parts were near interchangeable, since Finnish main line rifles were evolutions of Mosin Nagant. Soviet arms were well loved, during WW2 DP-27 machine guns and Nagant revolvers were especially sought after, DP-27s were even given the nickname Emma
Nope actually most of finnish gear was made in finland but such as tanks were made in soviet union finland actually bought same amount of western equipment as soviet equipment
@@here98FIN As there is practically no other army than the conscript and reservist army in Finland; yes, the army is 900 000 strong. For the artillery in Europe Russia is way bigger and so is Ukraine, but Finland comes a good third.
@@Betoniporsas75 You bet Ukraine and Russia are in Europe - even though Russia is so large it cannot completely fit in just one tiny continent. Russia is huge, and like they say, eternal.
Interestingly the Finnish military unlike most other Cold War militaries lacked a rifle caliber general purpose machine gun. They only had the LSW/SAW type KvKK 62 1:51 using the same intermediate 7.62x39mm cartridge as their assult rifles. Only in the 1990s the Finnish military adopted the PKM.
I think that this video was aimed as much to the finnish young as the russians. "We use your equimpment, and boys listen to rock'n'roll while doing a better job than your boys. We have only 8 months training, you have years. And old guys are enthusiastic when they can take part in training."
'...while doing a better job than your boys...', doubtful even if we're talking about the conscripts ( it wouldn't be fair to compare the biggest and the most experienced in it's time Soviet officer Corps to Finnish one), cause we should remember that Soviets had large combat experience in Afganistan, where they showed good results. While Finns had like what, just some basic soldier's training in quite harsh conditions?
