[Avary]

Man, that's an AWESOME movie! Go Finland! woot

I noticed that winter in Finland isn't any different than winter in Canada, except that we use snowshoes instead of skis. We have the same BV-206s.

Great pics, especially this one. Lovely mixture of new and old equipment (old belt and binochular bag at least) + a great view. My new wallpaper...

Video was great too. Quite realistic opposed to many other seen here..

i was amazed how many countries use the BV, but it is a very good piece of kit.

Well, I'm not sure if that is BV-206 or "Nasu" NA-140 (below). :)

Produced by the Finnish company, Patria Vehicles, the Sisu NA-140 is very similar to the Swedish Bv 206 model. It was tested in 1985, and the next year 11 pre-production units were ordered. Since then, more than three hundred have been manufactured to equip the armies of China, Turkey and Finland. This last country has purchased units of the most advanced variants such as the NA-122, which incorporates a 120 mm mortar in the cargo hold with three system operators and 18 highly explosive projectiles. The NA-140 is multi-purpose and very adaptable to all kinds of necessities. It has a very compact size and is very agile due to its 6.5 liter diesel engine with 129 hp and a maximum speed of 37 mph. It has a cargo capacity of five men in the front cab and 12 in the rear, ample operational possibilities as it is amphibious and may be transported by air, and a total cargo capacity of 2 tons (1.3 tons in the back cab).

[FDF_Hemppis]

Great!

For once the FDF propaganda department managed to produce stuff that looks like a real army, and not just some sorry-ass reservists :D

My buddy here in South-Africa keeps sending me these links. Good stuff! My eldest son is doing his service in the FDF at the moment but I don’t hear from him much. He might have been around Rovajärvi lately, in the non-commissioned officer’s last training (before they will give some exercise to the new recruits, then going back to studies) and getting a touch to the real artillery ammo.

Snow, skiing, frost and moon light. Who needs night vision stuff.

Keep well guys and thanks, I can feel and even smell the atmosphere and enthusiasm!
