>Trident Juncture >NATO soldiers are slaughtered by Finns, because Finns flanked them from the forest >the absolute state of NATO landforces I mean come on, out of 180 Finns there were 165 conscripts and Norwegians lost 6 IFV's and 2 engineer vehicles. Yanks didn't have any chance at Arrow16, Norwegian female soldiers were found by their Tinder app and there are more situations like theese.
You don't have a fucking chance against russkies, when the WW3 starts.
If conscripts are so good, why did all developed countries abandon the draft decades ago?

America wasted almost two decades in Iraq and Afghanistan only to lose.

If conscripts are so good, why did Germany, France and Sweden decide to take cnsription back? is.fi/ulkomaat/art-2000005887533.html >(in finnish) Ilta-Sanomat visited NATO's major exercise - The flanking maneuver of Finnish jägers during the night suprised NATO forces.
tinfoil inbound, sure, but if I were in a command-type position or at least choosing people to send off to this sort of thing, you better believe it would be nothing but the sick, lame, and lazy being sent to establish our "reputation." I'd prefer to encounter that idea you ended on as a "reputation." if we're playing poker, do you really think I'm going to tell you whats in my hand if its something good. nope. I'm going to try to lead you on like its absolute shit so you get more confident than you should be and I get all your chips. Don't get yourself got, Ivan
It's almost as if when you only train in one specific type of terrain and nowhere else, you get really good at it.
Big boy armies actually train in a multitude of climates and terrains so it's no surprise they get rekt when A) in a terrain they don't usually train in and B) are against a force that trains in that terrain all year round and has done for decades.
Take the scandis out of Scandinavia and they couldn't operate their way out of a wet paper bag with a map and written instructions.

>tinfoil inbound, That's not tinfoil, but plain fucking retarded. Why would you intentionally mangle your capabilities for expensive international exercises focusing on operational cooperation with your allies? Because of a poker analogy that doesn't even apply here?

>Finns beat NATO troops because they, a people living in a country with zero (0) mountains, are used to fighting in the mountains
>expensive for you maybe >intentionally mangle I feel like you didn't even understand what I was saying >operational cooperation with your allies .....you mean the largely useless ones? In the kind of situation you're hinting at they'll basically just be speed-bumps anyway >analogy that doesn't even apply again, work on your reading comprehension

I don't know but this ex should produce enough to keep us going for a couple of years.
Charles Edwards
>I feel like you didn't even understand what I was saying Sending the worst you have to an exercise meant to build international NATO co-operation is exactly that, you retard. You clearly have no fucking idea of what you're talking about. You compared military cooperation to fucking poker. POKER
Alexander Cruz
We are to busy invading northern Russia and St. Petersburg. We can't protect all of the NATO countries.
>intentionally mangle much like your reading comprehension >expensive international excercises for you, maybe >cooperation with your allies Stop bullshitting Ivan, we both know they're not good for much. Who cares if we can't coordinate with the speedbumps who start out ineffective before they've even sustained damage. >analogy doesn't apply again, reading comprehension. Its almost like we're speaking different languages.
>yfw Russia sidesteps Finland entirely, since theres nothing there anyway >"The Germans cannot touch us, there is nothing they have that could possibly break through the Maginot line" truly a flavorful plan

oh fuck you 4chin making me type this shit out twice. lets see how long this one takes to load
Dear private fucknut why have you broken one of the caps on your belowed mines? What did that mine ever do to you? Run two laps around the barracks and give me an answer!
Noah Torres
NATO sans US is toothless. We both know that. Stop pretending like that isn't the case. And I guess you're right, we should go show/tell the people we may have to fight exactly how we would intend to fight them. Truly, you are Chengis reborn
>Finns >Don't have a chance against russkies What the fuck are you on about? Russians are incompetent, and Finns are the ultimate Russian killers. Russia is the one who doesn't have a chance
Luke Miller
Because most developed countries don't actually expect to have to fight a real war.
Wyatt Adams
Finnish Readiness Forces are an apply only unit that has selective screening. It is disingenuous to call them conscripts. OP is a fag once again.
They get laughed out every time they try act special. A regular conscript near eastern border is better in every way.
Christian Martinez
>Finland beat nato >You don't have a chance against the ruskies Yeah, I guess I'm dumb for thinking he's implying that NATO can't beat Russia because they lost to a different country, one that is reliant on entirely different tactics than Russia. Encirclement is what Finland is good at, not Russia
Landon Turner
>NATO soldiers are slaughtered by Finns >You don't have a fucking chance against russkies, when the WW3 starts.
>yfw >doesn't even post a picture >If we don't attack our enemies, we win Are you retarded? Every eurocuck country combined would be able to hold russia back while the US finally shows up and starts using Finland to fuck russia in the ass. That would go on until one side starts losing, then we would all welcome the fiery apocalypse.
Owen White
"Norwegians didn't expect the Finns would come from the forest"
shit i need one of those balaclavas, are they standard issue? where can i get one? any places for finnish surplus?
Michael Stewart
It has nothing to do with the efficiency of the military. It’s a political move to facilitate unpopular wars and reduce protests (the troops chose to enlist, now they cannot complain).
Oliver King
I think they are selfmade from some camofabric. You can see from the irregular size of eyeholes. It's certainly not standard issue

>MUH CONSCRIPTS >it's litterally the jägers That's elite infintry boyo, conscripted or not. They better pull their weight.
Asher Morris
>jägers >elite Seems like I'm elite now woohoo spoiler: jägers are the default infantry type that gets trained by the FDF
Hudson Diaz
>Jääkäri (Finnish word for "Jäger") is the lowest basic rank (Private) in the infantry of the Finnish Army and in the Uusimaa Brigade (marines) of the Finnish Navy. This is traditional usage resulting from the World War era Jäger Movement. In addition, drivers, medical personnel, military police and mortar squad members may hold the rank of Jäger. In other units, special ranks such as tykkimies ("Gunner") are the equivalent (see Finnish military ranks). The older rank of sotamies or "private" is no longer used in peace time training units, but remains in war-time infantry usage.

Both i hope

It is true, see thread for the original story screencap
Says marine commando. Wears green berets. I have always heard they are pretty elite. (not special forces though, like American rangers).

>You don't have a fucking chance against russkies, when the WW3 starts.
1)Their won't be a WW3 2)Even if their was Russia is an irrelevance with an economy the size of Italy and a second world kleptomaniac state 3)A war between Russia and the US or NATO would be over in weeks and the result would be Russia no longer existing 4)Russia is a conscript military. Western professional armies or troops such as the marines, british para, royal marines, French ffl, airbourne and alpine/mountain units, etc etc would rip Russian infantry such a large asshole even polandball would feel sorry for them. 5)You have contacted putinitis a form of psychosis where what you see on RT or read in Russian language or propagated news sites has even the remotest bearing on reality, where Russia is actually a bit of a bad joke. 6)Russia is not the USSR it is far far smaller, far weaker and far poorer. 7)NATO is far far larger, more modern, has better troops and the capability to wipe the Russian airforce and navy off the board as easily as clicking on a screen and then wipe every single Russian armoured formation out of history. 8)Russia is not global or even a European power, its a fucked up Chinese vassal state like north korea where people earn 10 dollars a day and most don't have domestic running water that can be safely drunk.
>You don't have a fucking chance against russkies, when the WW3 starts.
To seriously believe in this sentence you have to be actually either unaware of reality or actually insane.
Benjamin Evans
Never saw anything like that during my service. We had only one hole "balaclavas" that I used only when I had stuffed my wool hat somewhere and even then I mostly used it as hat. Two hole balaclava would be nice for people with glasses.
Even ncos and officers were jägers where I served. It is not only a rank in some parts of finland.
Camden Cruz
They're basically coastal infantry, a bit more specialized than regular jägers but by no means "elite" (unless you ask them, then sure, they're super elite).
Matthew Sanders
See Special selection, etc. I am skeptical of your claims.
Jason Gray
It's an anecdotal story by a Finnish conscript. That's 99% of how you'll learn of these exercises, since the professional troops don't talk shit and everything's classified. Can't tell if this specific story is trustworthy though. The stuff you can trust is generally Finns talking to other Finns, while this is some random post on Jow Forums.
