    Was it Finland that has setup artillery and defensive positions all long the border or Estonia? Either one basically has everything dialed in for artillery. If they make it 10km in before dying, I’d be impressed.

      It’s Finland.

      In most of the world, a a nations military is designed like a Swiss army knife: to be able to do many different things should the need arise. Equipment/training is designed for a broad range of domestic and global scenarios.

      When you border Russia, your military is designed to do exactly one thing.
