    As a swede who did his military service in a mortar company, this warms my hearth! While the Swedish people is not very interested in defending their country anymore, know that the few of us who still are engaged in the "hemvärnet"/"territorial army" appreciate that the old saying "Sweden will fight to the last finn!" sadly still hold true. "hakkaa päälle"!

    I wonder how many Western armies still train for this, 800+ rounds in a heavy strike which is then rolled forward is basically dealing with a Russian Mech. Division breakthrough... As a reservist AT man I definitely appreciate the artillery dealing with this at 10 000m instead of my platoon at 200m (if we're lucky enough to fire that deep in the forest!) - should have been awake for maths and physics at school...

The huge forest was just a moon landscape and they had to fought, every single men died (sacrified) and permit to have the time to send troops.

      raimesey Some training can be taken very far.
      One heroic figure from the Winter War was Simo Häyhä. He had hunted and shot with his rifle a lot before the war and that training didn't go to waste. He ends up killing over 500 russians with his rifle setting a world record.
      Now to think of artillery. All they would ever need to do in a real situation is exactly what they have been trained for.
      But you had a good point with real experience. It's very valuable for many military roles.

    Some things I know and am allowed to say;
    -We have enough heavy artillery to line up the whole border w/ Russia and then there is light artillery, mortars and light/heavy rocket launchers (Like Katyuashas but waaaay better in every aspect)
    -We use several types of munitions for different means, for example, they can be timed to explode above you so your cover becomes useless, or underground after impact, demolishing your bunkers base structure and sinking it into ground, and ofc, there are the AP-High explosive shells designed to counter heavy tanks, just to name a few ;P
    - You will never know what FDF actually has/is cabaple of unless you have a security clearence. 75% of our conscripts know what they need to, everyone else not even that.

      One reason for that success was that signals intelligence had broken enemy messages and knew in advance the staging areas and the time for the attack in Tali-Ihantala. Artillery was able to be concentrated exactly where it was needed and exactly when it was needed on mass. The airforce also threw all its bombing formations in to add to the carnage. The enemy assault against the VKT-line was successfully neutralized there already in the staging area, as the barrage separated enemy infantry from the tanks as they could not follow them under fire. There were reports of the artillery fire being so intensive as to grind down even tanks.

Many gun crews just shove ammo to breach of gun as fast they can. Finns do not care of gun barrel erosion. We have much more guns we actually need.

    The forward observers of the finnish artillery were the favorite targets for soviet army snipers and direct-fire guns in WW2. Therefore the average lifetime of a forward observer on the front was not very long.
    Luckily I did not know this when I applied for the forward observer line of artillery NCO school during my military service.
    My current placement in the reserve is somewhere else. So I might live for a few days longer :)

    no you haven't. fair use also states that you have to add your own materials, whether it be commentary, edits, creative commentations, debate etc.
    what you've done is simply take a full vid or part of it and reupload it. you have added *nothing* to it. that is still in violation to the copyright laws.
