    Mechanized warfare is Russia’s thing - and considering how miserably they failed at it on the open fields of Ukraine, I double dare them to try it in our dense forests, with no roads and massive Ice Age boulders everywhere, not to mention the lakes, bogs, rivers… and every tree and bush speaking Finnish. Good luck!

      Also every single bridge in Finland is rigged to be blown up and the military practices doing it regularly

        I doubt anyone is ready for it. All I know for sure is that the FDF is a serious organization who has absolutely kept their eye on the conflict and (hopefully) have adjusted the military training accordingly.
