Since i today live in Finland i know a litle about the Finish army
Sorry to say this "kuolevainen" but i think they need a "make over" My plan would be a small specialiced force. I think, that for now a years mandatory military service migh still do good(even for us more multicultural
)fins, but it shouldnt be that series.
EVERYONE has known since the Cuban missile crisis what would happens, if Finland goes to a war with Russia! So "kuolevainen", everybody knows, that they will literally bomb and burn the living shit out of you(sorry for the harsh language) And today mother Russia has made an alliance with Asias rising start China. She has allready her own antimatter ptoject on the way just like the US. New, difficult to trace stealth plains and missiles. Personally, id recomend good relations with Russia
Do not try to change you border with them(and the same goes for Estonia as well!) Do not deliberatly make them pissed. Russia is acually a declining nation, because of there low birthrate, for a European country still quite high death toll and immigration! Anyway, Russias atention is now 90% focused on the caucasus, midle-east, the pacifig and Asia! Personally, i think Finland should get a good airforce! Then you would need missiles(maybe with movable lauch boards)and ofcourse a
NUKE! Surdenly mother Russia would get quite pissed off once shed realice that Finland has gotten herself a new toy, but you really shouldnt let them scare you. You should have enough movable nukes(cruise missiles laucnhed from both the air and the sea?)so Russia could not attack Finland without having saint petersbugh nuked! Lets face it;WMD:s always save the day
You could develope your own WMD:s mostly by yourself, and then say, that if Russia makes a fuz out of it, youll call USA in to the conlicft, wich has really bad relations with Russia mostly do to Iran and China. The Russians will not risk it;they got enough of there own problems! Just tell them, that if they try to "chek the border" anymore to the west youll nuke Pietari and the Murmansk subbase. The Russians would possibly use nukes in an attack against Finland anyway("mininukes")so it's really wouldnt be a big deal. They wont attack! They dont have the man power, they dont have the money, and
ALL there atention is practicly focused on somwhere else! Ofcourse it dosent mean you should give up your regional forces, but please try to make the training a bit more intrestetting and motivated. WMD:s are the
ONLY thing that will keep mother Russia off your back for good, trust my on this
