Conscription has always been compulsory in Finland.....Jarno served in the mid 60's.......so they have a lot of Reservists to call on if the shit hits the fan.
900,000 of them in fact......and all highly trained in weapons. Just saw some clips of them preparing there now, and they don't fuck about.
Plus the regular Finnish army itself is a pretty serious outfit!
This is a very interesting read from a Finnish military analyst:
"Russian invasion of Ukraine involves a 40 mile (64km) long convoy of Russian military vehicles, that has been stalled for 2 weeks outside Kyiv the capital city of Ukraine.
"This convoy was a MASSIVE MILITARY BLUNDER by Russia. Putin's Generals put all their eggs in one basket (in the North) and Ukraine can smash those eggs any day they want. Or wait until they surrender.
Some of the convoy is dispersing. I said convoy was a military mystery. Let's dig into it."

And bear in mind that Putin has also threatened Finland as well......
Just seen a load of big GS's filling up at the petrol station.
I fucking hate that......people turning up at a meeting point and they haven't fuelled first.
The way it looks now they're going to get drenched anyway!
Seeing reports that Russians have gunned down a humanitarian convoy of women and children during an evacuation from Peremoha village, Kyiv region, along pre-approved “green” corridor.

Russia threatens to target foreign military aid convoys to Ukraine.
Russian Deputy FM Sergey Ryabkov said that Moscow had warned the U.S. that convoys of foreign weapons would be “legitimate targets for the Russian Armed Forces.”
