WinterWar (22,3MB)
This is a a video from the Finns, some might find it fun to see a bit different NS -
It looks the exact opposite to that of Singapore! It look so cold that you don't need to be there to feel it. Must be very tough lugging the heavy stuff and doing fire movement in the deep snow. I like that part where the infantrymen with skis are towed along behing a BV206. No need to run!
-
Nice video clip. BV206, Leopard tanks, CV90s and Spike ATGMs.
What is their NS duration? -
eh... they use live rounds for training?!
-
Is that traning? Nice movie dude
-
the fins i spoked to , spoke of russia as their military threat
-
training against live targets is done with blanks but since our countries has large training areas we do a lot of live firings Their NS time i 6 months for ordinary soldiers, 9 for soldiers in technical branches and 12 for soldiers in the readiness brigades ( since their modernisation a couple of years ago) . Almost all males do NS service in Finland. in modern time the Finns has fought Three wars, 2 of them against the Russians, so they still regard the bear as their main threat
The video is a "motivation film" to show the NS men what is expected of them in the case of an attack on Finnish soil.
In the beginning you se Rangers watching the borders, when the invader is spotted they build up with Mech battalions, infantry, artillery and go on a counter attack. in the end they show clips from the WW2 to remind the soldiers about the offers their grandpas, uncles and other relatives did, In Finland it is very hard to object to NS when you have a grandmother telling you about your grandpa being killed fighting the Russians in 39 and both her brothers being killed in 43 and 44 (story told to me by a Finn)

Very cool video...
Currently now in US and we are facing some cold weather -12 the other day...really can't imagine myself lugging the FBO and doing fire movements.
BTW, does anyone remember this old movie about how WW3 gets started up in Alaska (i.e. the Soviets paratroopers breach Alaskan defence) ... was probably in primary or lower secondary at that time...gave me nightmare about how things can go bad and trigger WW3... anyways. -

The title of the World War Three film you are looking for is (believe it or not) "World War Three."

Very imaginative, these titles.
