Niinisalo is a really cool area but it doesn’t represent the average finnish woodland that well. Those pine forests in Niinisalo are like a well maintained park compared to an average finnish forest.
Most of finnish forests are a pain to traverse with thick brush and small tree growth. And especially in eastern Finland it’s just a never ending rollercoaster of steep uphills and downhills. Because of the ridgelines left by the last ice cap that run north-south-ish through the whole eastern Finland. Geographically great for defence but a bitch to traverse.
@JJooN Very true. But Niinisalo is good representative of more open areas in very south of Finland, where decision will be made. Kymenlaakso/Uusimaa region. We have untold amount of government land to train fighting in forest/swamp/rock mountain/stream/lake/river/forest/repeat terrain north of Salpausselkä.
I am not so sure would our new NATO allies even want to participate in fighting in dark depths of Finnish forests. Nor do we even want them there? Last time Germans had to be held by hand like little children. The middle of Finland is area we will take care with 100% Finnish troops. Allies can and will contribute in very south, and in very north.
Lapland is developing to be really interesting area. Truly multi national force takes care of defence of 3-nation area. Core will be Swedish tank brigade, with Finnish, Norwegian, USMC, and British Arctic warfare equipped units around it.
Sweden can and will throw all their tanks to Lapland, as Sweden is safe from Russian attacks, and Finns can handle southern Finland. Finn/SWE land assets are not needed in Baltic states as Baltic Sea stay open for NATO to move troops from rest of Europe to Baltic states. Russia should prepare Kola and its sub bases to be run over if they start war.
Easy mathematics. In some point you cant deny it, even with the most chauvinist mindset. Russia has 1/25 of fighting power of Free World. Baltic Sea IS owned by NATO now. Russia should turn to their storied Baltic Fleet to 2 RIBs puttering around. In Arctic the crucial sub basing areas are within reach of NATO land forces if the most pathetic dictator since Mussolini wants to expand war.
I was training in that location a year ago and I loved the training with americans they were so nice. but the m4 rifle was a bit bb gun like for me ;) love from finland
You are always welcome here US! 🇫🇮🇺🇸
U are always welcome Finland
I really like that all vehicles has still the dessert camouflage under their sheets. Looks like the painters has to work overtime
Great video. Good to be training with you guys.
Respect is mutual my friend 🇫🇮🤝🇺🇲
Tell that to the leaders who go to war.
The US is not at war, Finland is not at war. None of the nato countries is at war.
@@formatique_arschloch Yeah but as our prime minister Sanna Marin brought us to war.
@@yksvaan1690 Finland is not at war. Perhaps you are in war with yourself?
dudes in MOPP gear - those masks look MUCH nicer than the ones I had to use back in the day
“Ramsay” is door kicker!
🇫🇮🤝🇺🇸
Ooh rah!
💪💪💪

Niinisalo is just little speck in map. Finland has vastly bigger firing range at Rovajärvi. That is artillery home ground.
Rovajarvi is huge. Dutch artillery are envious for someone having that kind of playground, every time they visit.
That's cool
What is goggles are Finland army using🤔
A non-military expert, what are those round objects on the dismount crew's (Bradley) helmets? Lights, reflectors or some form to identify friendlies? Thanks
They are part of the laser system that is used to simulate live fire. Each weapon has a laser shooter thing on it that notices a blank being fired and shoots a laser at the same time. The soldiers carry a vest and the helmet thing that pick up the lasers from guns. It tells if you've been hit and to what part of your body and how badly. Quite fun even though it has it's limitations.
@@tommi_mk285 Cool, thank you!
Nice one, but the experience was spoiled a lot by the continuous "pop sound" in the background of the video.
maybe just Orpo/Purra gubmint's censorship. or bad sound
What good are the gas masks for if you don't cover the skin?
They prevent harmful particles, vapors and splashes from entering your lungs or getting into your eyes, and cover you from smelly farts.
Not all NBC threats are skin-melting acid clouds.
Does the Army now have all the Marines' tanks?
pretty much
Yes the marines gave there tanks to the army bc the army is more equipped than the marines are so the marines rely on the army for tank support
Smart choice IMO. It's not the Marines' job to be Army #2
No, those were sold to Australia and Poland and donated to Ukraine
@@jaden18860 No they didn't. USMC is older than US Army. Didn't you know that? USMC relies on USN for support, to their chagrin. (Apart from F-35, I might add.)
Good video you guys are doing a great job but these wars in the world should not be happening
Those boys' skills prevent wars..
I joined only to fight in the wars
@@deankaiser6261 Roger Team leader
Yes, war should not be happening but it rarely is up to you. If you can't persuade the other guy not to take your freedom, property and/or lives the only option left is to fight back.
can't the US Army afford green paint for its vehicles?
It's a very sensitive issue. :'D
We have green vehicles
Us army has the money, but painting vehicles is a pain in the ass.
Not needed for a short training
They planned earlier only to go war with middle eastern countries
🇺🇸
US 🇺🇲 ARMY
US troops are much welcomed to train in Finland. We Finns will make adversary troops feel the hurt. Its all for common goal.
@Kimmo J Our best allies, United States, Brits, other Nordic countries, Dutch, etc will find that in Finland there is many really, really large training areas where Leos, M1s and Challenger 2s can really stretch their legs in company/battalion formations, and room for artillery to fire at their hearts content. Our allies will also find that our citizenry attitude for them is around: "Meeting USMC vehicles on the road, gave them fist pump from side window".
those gas masks should have throat mic and earphones. not that expensive nowadays and would make huge difference.
Kuusipuut tuhotto👁hakkuualueita😳ei varmaan näin suojauduta😡
Sheesh NATO got in there ASAP.
they come here every year, arrow exercise is a yearly thing
Finland has worked with U.S forces for the past 10-15 years, and with other NATO countries too, so it's not really suprising how fast they got here.
каждый дриччит как он хочет. симулируют тренировку. симулякры блин )
