US marines defeated by Finnish conscripts during a NATO exercise

Suomi tuo Natoon koulutettuja miehiä ja paljon! Niitä on sitä mukava lähettää ympäri maailmaa, kun Amerikka haluaa viedä demokratiaa muihin maihin kuten Irakiin, Libyaan jne.

Usan pojat haluaa Suomesta uuden Ukrainan, proxy sodille pitää saada jatkoa, kehumalla se alkaa.

Suomessa on korkea motivaatio mutta ei reserviläinen tietenkään vastaa ammattisotilasta.

Mitä tarkoitat sanalla "ammattisotilas"?

Defence Capabilities

Finland had always been prepared to invest in its defence capabilities but it had been limited in the defence equipment it could acquire due to the terms of the Paris Peace Treaty. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the treaty became void and Finland could acquire equipment from the US and other sources. This saw the Finnish Air Force acquire 64 F/A-18C/D aircraft from the US, with deliveries commencing in 1995. The F/A-18C/D fleet is to be replaced under the terms of the HX Fighter Programme. In December 2021, the Lockheed Martin F-35A Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) was selected as the winner of HX and 64 aircraft ordered to be delivered from 2026 onwards.

As others in Europe downsized their militaries, Finland was able to acquire a whole range of advanced ground systems at very advantageous prices. For example, they obtained 100 LEOPARD 2A6NL tanks and 22 M270 MLRS fire units from the Royal Netherlands Army, TOW missiles from Denmark and 147 MT-LB armoured vehicles from Sweden. There were also major purchases from across Europe of new equipment, with Sweden emerging as one of the most important suppliers and later becoming a partner for defence collaboration.

Finland has also sought to further diversify its supplier base. For example, the Finnish Navy purchased the UMKHONTO air defence missile system from South Africa for the Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) of its HAMINA class missile boats and HÄMEENMAA class minelayers. The HAMINA MLU also saw the IAI GABRIEL V anti-ship missile acquired, with the same weapon being selected for the four POHJANMAA class corvettes that are being built between 2022 and 2025. Finland also acquired SPIKE-MR/-LR and SPIKE-ER missiles from the Eurospike consortium. In 2017, the Finnish Defence Force selected the Hanwha Defense K9 as its future self-propelled artillery system, ordering 48 systems from Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) surplus stocks and then placing a second order for 10 more systems.

Finland had maintained a robust defence capability while many others in Europe had allowed their defence forces to whither. As things have turned out, this defence investment showed a remarkable degree of foresight. That is not to say that they expected the security situation in the Baltic to turn critical, although a resurgent Russia with a nationalist ideology was in itself threatening, but Finland is used to managing its relationship with Russia.

Suomessa käytännössä kaikki miehet käy armeijan. Tuossa on yliopistoon ja muihin korkea-asteenopintoihin meneviä ja tumpeloita (=kärjistettynä). Yhdysvaltain armeijan rivimiesten taso on pääasiallisesti tumpeloa. Ei tuonne paras A-luokka hakeudu. Monella on myöskin jengitaustaa kasvavassa määrin. Vedä tuosta johtopäätös.
