Sisu - Finland '83

Säkkijärven Polkka by Fin Pol (regular) and 5150gyroscope (metal)
Thanks to a Mr Oittinen who emailed asking for a Finnish Winter War video, since KZbin is iffy about World War 2 content, I did what I could, hope you enjoy Mr Oittinen.

Finnish Army, best summer camp experience for conscripts

[@Canadian789119]

Don't Tread on Finland.

[@Killicon93]

So interesting to see footage from the transitional age of the assault rifle. Seeing them sprint forward while spraying full auto from the hip. Whereas modern doctrine dictates that the full-auto switch setting on the assault rifle should rarely if ever be touched. But I've also seen it more personally. I'm born '93, never got conscripted because of some medical issues back then. Still managed to become a gun nut and become a self taught shooter. So then one day a friend of mine, born '92 was at my place and we dicked around with my replica guns and saw that his awful outdated chicken wing shooting stance. Seems he was from the batch of our conscripts, from a time and place where they were still teaching outdated weapon handling doctrine. Told everyone in there was also taught to shoot with the other eye closed.

[@kebman]

If you're on a bike and have an accident, remember to fall to your right in a controlled manner, and say out loud, "I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling" so the medic can come quickly to your aid. Finnish biking/combat handbook.

[@SusCalvin]

Bike infantry lives on in Europe even in the post-war decades. People have to remember that this isn't a fully motorized Europe yet. It's not strange to see a draft horse once you step outside the city limit. Bike infantry functions like dragoons. Infantry uses the bike to march and then dismounts to fight. One of the manouvers they practiced was pulling a line behind a truck or tractor with an infantry platoon on bikes holding the rope.

@@blank1778 yes mate nobody is denying that. Some people think that snipers are cowards. In my opinion you need to be of a diffrent breed than an everyday soldier. You must know how to camuflage and how to think like the enemy and after all of that you are seeing peoples faces. A lot of ex snipers say that it is false that they forget the faces of enemies they killed, they remember them. And also, if you are at war, God forgive, the first thing you go to take out is the machinegun, the next, sniper.

[@Collateral0]

Christian Newaye Except Ivan like most soviet snipers exaggerated their numbers for the war effort. Simo didn’t. Simo had more confirmed sniper kills in 3 months than that filthy commie had in 5 years. Like people do realize the soviets did the poorest in the war, the germans lost 4 million troops in all theaters besides the pacific. The soviets lost nearly 20 million on the eastern front alone.

[@TealJosh]

@@MosoKaiser It helps you handle the warmer parts of the rk-62. The plastic cover wasn't a thing back then, or if it was it wasn't nearly as widely in use as it is today. It used to have the barrel bare for you to touch by accident when it's scolding hot.

[@MosoKaiser]

@@TealJosh Oh indeed, I didn't think of the older style "cheese grater" model! The front hand guard on those does cover the barrel, but not the gas piston tube, which will get warm/hot with prolonged firing. A few guys in my company got issued an older cheese grater model RK when I was in the army; don't recall them having any issues with burning their fingers with them, and we did our shooting wearing fingered regular gloves. But then again, we didn't do prolonged firing, mag dumps, or stuff like that.

[@TealJosh]

@@MosoKaiser yeah, I meant the gas piston. I got a chance to deal with some proper heating. I had to pretend to be adversary for new NCO students and me and my friend(moto-AU, ite olin kuski) were given 6 drum magazines full of blanks to split between us. He had to go do something else so all of sudden I had 5 drum magazines to go through in an afternoon. Best part was I didn't have to shoot those hundreds of blanks through my own rifle. Rumor says he might have used brake cleaner to get the dirt off his gas piston and tube. I can't confirm or deny that fact ;)

[@Teemustaja]

@@user-ti8ef5xn8q Actually no they can't. That's because of the following reasons: 1. Russia is too big and most of its military needs to be close to it's borders, that limits their attacking force to around 500 thousand men 2. Finnish army, city infrastructure, and political alliances are all crafted to be used against Russian army 3. Finland, if in total war has around 1 - 2 million soldiers both Finnish and non-finnish 4. While Russian weaponry has been more and more stripped due to budgets and deals, Finland has only lost it's anti-personnel landmines 5. Russian army is designed as an traditional army, meaning next to none guerilla tactics while Finnish army has been mostly designed for guerilla warfare 6. Finland has the largest battery of Europe. This is, so that if Russians invide Finland, as a last resort they can even bomb their own cities and resources, making the invasion as costly as possible so that it no longer makes even sense to try it 7 Overall "Burnt land" tactics Finland has prepared for Russian invasion, meaning there will be no land to rule, no people to dominate, no resources to gather.
