finnish army in cold war use equipment mostly from soviet union like mig21 uaz tank t72 and t55 and Rk. 62(ak variant) and some from western countries like TOW saab draken
finland has own military production like apc xa180 and ships

Finnish equipment in the cold war be like:
1/3 from NATO
1/3 from USSR
1/3 homemade
But 100% F I N N
what about the beautiful drakens? they don't count?
@@henriksson4225 my bad, I wrote NATO when I should have written west. But still 100% finn.
Best of all worlds! 🙌
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.
Actually the limits were based by Britain. They thought communists would take over Finland and it would be ion the Soviet side.
Similar limits with tanks. Though there were lot more "spare parts" stored in underground bunkers just waiting to be put together.

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.
The AK sight radius is fine; it is roughly the same as a M4 rifle with a front sight post
But the Valmet sights are probably better though
My rk62 was made back in 1983. Still works like a charm.
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.
@@tsalesto meile kullä näytettiin vähän uudempia videeoita
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!
Not everyone guy likes being in the army, so you caanot say by all.
@@ErtixPoke That is why I wrote 'most guys'. Based on my own experience it is the vast majority, but definitely not all, you are right in that.
Army time is "great", all in the "same boat" and food is great, in baracs and woods.
"Army is the best time one can have", is mostly true.
Great retro video, much respect to the Finns armed and ready to defend their homeland. Even the music is great. Love and respect from Trinidad & Tobago 🇫🇮🇹🇹🇫🇮🇹🇹

They at least run fast in there. Nice.

It is interesting how relatable these clips are for someone who is serving in the Finnish military right now. For example at the beginning: the gun, the wristwatch and even the counterpane are exactly the same as the ones we use today.

I'll bet one bottle of Jallu that every filming day started with conscripts marching to clothes/stock storage. They were handed unused clothes and gear, which they returned in the evening. That's how I remember it, every time a TV crew came to visit.
Also, a great overhaul of the whole army base, brooming, painting, and stuff.
Hieno video!
Brings back so great memories from the time of my own service in Finnish defence forces.
The part where the tankers raise their fists in unison is so fucking metal. Fantastic video

1980
Literally 90% of Finnish gear is Soviet-made
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

@@SerAkel nagant revolvers were bad guns but were prized trophies as only officers and comisars had them
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
Thank you for making this vid and introducing me to this song. I'm glad to be Finnish and watch this.
Very ideally, I used to love listening to your work. And here is a clip of what I like
The RK-62 are manufactured so well that they are used to this day. I had one made in 1967.... and I served in 2019
I got a 1962 one in 2/18 with a new handguard and a telescoping stock. Worked fine...
Barrels not chrome-lined :(
@@michailpanchev9952 True but they receive regular upkeep by conscripts who keep the barrels oiled

Ihan mahtava video!
Awesome video comrade Mauzer. Banger of a track, Valmet rifles and Migs what did we do to deserve this ?
Damn good stuff sir!
I was in the army in -97 and we still had those M62 camo suits as our main combat gear aswell as almost all the other gear in the video, the rig was upgraded to M85 type then.
Went in II/92 and the combat vest I had was made 1938, the one they used in WWII.
@Mäkirannantörmä I have to disagree on the M85 : ), at least you can drop it off your back and sit on it when the movement stops and the waiting starts but like I have found these past years in drills you cant do that with the M08 combat vest, it hangs on you like a ball of lead with all the gear the minute you wake up to the minute you lie down, particulary on our line of work in the mortar firing position it is pretty much pointless to carry all 6 magazines and vest full of gear while operating the group weapon.

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.
Sometimes it ain't about the weapons, it's what you do with them ;)
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.
Thank Sky Lord indeed.
F-35's might get to slap some "flies" during their life-time.
very nice video, thank you for that... :) long life Finland!
I was surprised how good this was made.
Wolf and Raven is spot on for this
What Wolf and Raven song is this?
@@CaptainSully101 "Paloma Pilots" from Gemini album.
Military service 2/16 as commando. Backpack weight was 50-60kg and RK-95❤
Finally, NATO and Warsaw Pact had a really good combination.
In the past it really was
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
@@lukaj4833 Uh are you aware of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and the Winter War? Go do some research
Finland was more allied to western nations but same time has friendship treaty with the soviet Union
@@lukaj4833 there is plenty of evidence that shows Soviet Union had every intention of annexing Finland, this evidence can be easily found. But you will continue to live in your bubble and spout this soviet propaganda rhetheric so you can pretend they were some kind of ''good force''. I only need to point at the Baltic countries what would have happened to Finland had they not resisted.
incase anyone is curious what the name of the song is it's Wolf and Raven - Paloma Pilots
love it thanks.
I like that finnish defence forces used both communist country and western country equipment.
Being sandwiched between the two and being an ally to neither makes wonders
the Finns have always had all their weapons Soviet.
@@Авангардверыnope
@@Авангардверы not all Finland just captured alot of Soviet equipment
@@grimmreaper3241 Finland had more military equipment after the Winter War than before it. Finns captured hundreds of tanks, trucks, cannons, thousands of rifles and even planes.
Awesome music man. So fucking 80s. Do you rock out to them outside of these vids too?
Mauzer made me pick up Wolf and Raven when he made that Prc'50 video, their pretty cool
Nah, in Finland it's mostly melodic heavy metal.
Mostly lame rock metal is semi good, also..
No harm meant.
Finland’s military gives off a vibe of both the soviet and swedish military asthetic
I felt like this was the opening of an Accept video!
If not for the Scania bus I could've mistaken this for some Soviet Army TV show (I've seen plenty of those while young). All those AKs, MiGs, T-60s...
Funny thing, the boys in the army promoting videos of the time were almost identical by their looks in Germany, Finland, and the USSR. We are not that different after all.
those aren't AKs, they're RKs
When you see Drakens fly next MiG21s you will get an idea that Finlandization was not such a bad thing afterall...
Based anti dictator sovieton.

This new leaked Uuno armeijassa 2 looks cool.

Holy damn this song is a banger!
tbh i was to captivated by wolf and raven to take anything in the film seriously everything became top gun on ski's for a sec
I watched this in 1,5x speed and it became even more epic
No politics comrades only retrowave!!!
yes? then remember that the USSR made a great contribution to the victory.
"defenders of the white finns"...
The music feels more like going 4 v 24 with jets and coming out the under dog vibe..
Edit: now reading the song title, it makes sense
I have one of the original tapes, it was shorter but it also had clips that were cut out from this one and mate, im telling you THE MUSIC in that was way way better. But a very nice clip anyway! Let me know if you want it I can send it.
Finland has today million men army an largest artillery in europe.
Finland do not have million men army. It has lot of reservist, but those are not in the army.
It is reserve, not an army.
@@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.
@@sampohonkala4195 Russia and Ukraine are european countries?
@@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.
Quite a dangerous and awkward landing at 4:02. If those would have been live rounds, some would have shot their friends in the back by mistake.
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?
@@sloptek1807 Additionally, Finns have been actively taken part in UN peacekeeping operations (And later on Nato operations as well) since the 1950s, starting from Suez Crisis all the way through to present day. If there was a battle being fought almost anywhere in the world, theres a chance a Finn was part of it.

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.
It made logistical sense.
