had the pleasure as a Finn to work with UK ground troops in joint exercise with them in my time in army. Great soldiers, great warriors and great humans.
Thing with Finns is that despite them being conscripts, they still perform quite well in exercises. Only like a year ago US Marines tried landing on a beach defended by the Finnish conscripts and the Finns won. Of course this doesn't mean that Finns are better than US Marines, as attacker always has the disadvantage, but it does mean that the default tactics won't work against the Finns. This is precisely why these exercises are so important.
@@kippihiiri It could be argued that it happened because Finns concealed their positions well. Point of these exercises isn't to dick measure between nations to see who would win in a real war. Point is to be faced with something new. Finns did something that the US Marines didn't expect, but now they are aware of it. This is why we do these things.

Ah Niinisalo, such fond memories of the comfy sandy dunes of the paradise resort we fondly refer to as "Nibiza". Looking good gents and ladies, crack on!
I was born a Finn, and truly honor, respect, and love my heritage...but Finnish boys of that post war era in the fifties and sixties were Anglophiles. Go England! Go USA!
We have many huge training areas in Finland. Alliance partners are welcomed to have proper training here. Largest is Rovajärvi range, where you can shoot with 155mm artillery with full charge. 1100 square kilometres just for artillery training.
I see the MILES laser receptors on helmets, torsos and vehicles. This makes for a very realistic training exercise. Each weapon's laser beam has a code so that an assault rifle cannot "take out" an IFV.
Now that Afghanistan etc are well and truly over and we're repositioning for potential conflicts with Russia and China I've been wondering when us and the US will finally get around to repainting the vehicles back to the non desert camo patterns. Been wondering for a while tbh. I know it's expensive but they'll stick out like a sore thumb in Europe or East Asia.
Do you think you don't have vehicles with that paint already and always had? You just see the desert ones since there hasn't been any war in Europe for quite some time.
I dunno man... Something about the UK army is just so damn respectable. I'd imagine that virtually any country would want them on their side. They make horrible cars, though.
can you imagine what this well trained NATO troops would do to the Russians after seeing them get their arses kicked by Ukrainian farmers and no disrespect but badly trained unexperienced conscripts ? my mind boggles Putin has made a massive balls up
I guess he didn't really know the state of his army, that is what you get in authoritarian nations, no one dares to tell you the bad news. He is reaping the fruits of his own work. Serves him right. Actually as we look at things from Finland, Russia is doing so bad that it has made us bit paranoid that is it some sort of ploy =D
Since the Ukrainians got mauled by the soviets and had Crimea annexed, the UK since 2015 have been openly training and rearming the Ukrainians teaching them NATO style of fighting. Look it up! The UK was openly doing it and Putin's mob were asking them to stop! it was all over Russian media at the time. The army Putin attacked were no ignorant farmers.
Great to see the cohesion between allies as serves both immensely and hope trench network clearing with CQB and grenade clearing is included in Woodland warfare training as is bread and butter in some areas in Ukraine right now!
There is cqb basics and trench clearing is the norm even in places with mainly woodland training. Now Kaartin Jääkärirykmentti, are trained to fight mainly on citys and learn much more cqb. But every finnish soldier does know the basics of how to clear houses efficiently and as safely as possible.

Kai sinä raasu ymmärrät että jos Venäjä sanoo tai tekee jotain, se kuullaan täällä Suomessa suoraan hevosen suusta, eli sen ketä Venäjän johdossa on.

They shoot at each other with lasers attached to their guns so the (lights) on the helmets detects when they get hit by the laser and informs the soldier and the supervisors that this soldier is hit and where.
Lets says we're in a firefight and I was trying to find you in the middle of a forest when suddenly I see a large brightly coloured object that is not natural to the surrounding area. You're dead...
In all honesty, it is just how our flag is designed, also it is better to be visible in the current time, you don't want to know what would happen if some Finnish soldier wouldn't recognize Brits from Russians in our forests. We are in high alert state at the moment and expect surprises from our "dear" neighbor.
Typically launching several diversionary attacks as pre emptive strikes first makes sence then stroking from surprise positions on exposed flanks leads to effective attacks on open pitched warfare from smaller forces attacking larger ones.‼🎋

They are the Finnish armys laser simulation training equipment, made in Sweden. Rifles (and other weapons) emit a laser(you can see the emitters in few shots) when they are fired and the bands on the helmet, and vest, tell you if you were hit and where, and were you wounded or killed. They can also simulate indirect fire. After the exercise you can view who moved where, who was "killed" where and by whom. That can give good lessons especially for leaders when you can see what mistakes you made with positioning or movement and what you did well.
Strategically we will take military operations there's enough property and land for some of them to train their for Special Forces to secure the grounds and hire the guards that will keep the family in land safe all paperwork and deeds must go under David's trust is what I want it called
Even though my mother was a witch, I'll never understand how the British military came to the decision to introduce a rifle only suitable for right handed people. The Finns and the Americans can accommodate left handed shooters. Even the Aussies can adapt their bullpup rifles for lefties. But the Brits are like "We'll never get rid of it. We intend to be using the L85A36 in the year 2285. Right handed only."
Not really, the Russians will just remove the grid square the sniper/s lying in with a non-stop 12 hour barrage of rocket and artillery fire. Its what they've been doing in Ukraine for about the last 2 months. You don't fight wars/battles in accordance with your opponents strength's, you fight them in accordance with yours. Furthermore, what would a Russian soldier be doing in Finland or a Finnish soldier be doing in Russia? Putin/Russia has zero interest in Finland or any other European state, he has clearly stated his war (SMO) aims and has stuck to them without deviation. Pray for the sake of all humanity that the above scenario never comes to pass, unless you really dig radiation or being vapourised.

@@damanithegoat9653 lol why because of size? If the UK had the size and man power we would school them all everyday of the week and twice on sundays... we would never go to war with usa as we would basically be fighting our brothers and sisters lol
@@kopite8971 The US defeated the brits when your empire was at it’s peak idk about that bud
@@PRMarshall usa didn't beat us, USA France and the natives neat us get it right. And you won basically one battle out of about ten...
@Logan Erm no the British lost both times. Won less than they lost in both wars too. And that was the US at its infancy. Imagine what happens now 😳
Great video! It is nice to see your troops here and train together.
Mighty Brits, Mighty Finns.
Have a great exercise to all involved - fantastic to see allied nations working together for the greater good.

If you can find your way in Niinisalo (without GPS) you can find your way anywhere. Cool and good training ground.
This is what we want to see
Me too ♥️
Ah Niinisalo, such fond memories of the comfy sandy dunes of the paradise resort we fondly refer to as "Nibiza". Looking good gents and ladies, crack on!
Varusmiestä on suuruudella siunattu jos taskujen pohjalta löytyy Nibizan hiekkaa.
Excellent Military training and gives the British Army a serious prospective of Europe environments! Hapz❤️💯🇬🇧

If it comes to that, I'm sure we can overcome the opposition! Go US! GO BRITS! GO FINS!
I was born a Finn, and truly honor, respect, and love my heritage...but Finnish boys of that post war era in the fifties and sixties were Anglophiles. Go England! Go USA!
Nice, finally video of Finnish Rapid Deployment Forces.
you shoud eat blueberries and cloudberries while prone shooting this summers batch is pretty good
UK, US and FINLAND is dream team cmo
When it is -30C & total darkness, it is a bit...different.
Thank You. All civilized people must repress the threat from totalitarian Ruzzia.
Good to have you here with 🇫🇮

Love from Finland!
We have many huge training areas in Finland. Alliance partners are welcomed to have proper training here. Largest is Rovajärvi range, where you can shoot with 155mm artillery with full charge. 1100 square kilometres just for artillery training.
I see the MILES laser receptors on helmets, torsos and vehicles. This makes for a very realistic training exercise. Each weapon's laser beam has a code so that an assault rifle cannot "take out" an IFV.
What are those circular camera-like items on their helmets? Never seen it before and can't make sense of what use it has
It's laser receivers for simulated combat. You can see the transmitter at the end of the rifle at 2:59.
@@RZA101010 nice, makes sense now thank you
Now that Afghanistan etc are well and truly over and we're repositioning for potential conflicts with Russia and China I've been wondering when us and the US will finally get around to repainting the vehicles back to the non desert camo patterns. Been wondering for a while tbh. I know it's expensive but they'll stick out like a sore thumb in Europe or East Asia.
Do you think you don't have vehicles with that paint already and always had? You just see the desert ones since there hasn't been any war in Europe for quite some time.
Good spacing of the troops on the march at the end .
I dunno man... Something about the UK army is just so damn respectable. I'd imagine that virtually any country would want them on their side. They make horrible cars, though.
People asking where are British citizens they are everywhere left there country living in better places

@@terrum-c7s What do you think wokeness means?
can you imagine what this well trained NATO troops would do to the Russians after seeing them get their arses kicked by Ukrainian farmers and no disrespect but badly trained unexperienced conscripts ? my mind boggles Putin has made a massive balls up
I guess he didn't really know the state of his army, that is what you get in authoritarian nations, no one dares to tell you the bad news. He is reaping the fruits of his own work. Serves him right. Actually as we look at things from Finland, Russia is doing so bad that it has made us bit paranoid that is it some sort of ploy =D
Since the Ukrainians got mauled by the soviets and had Crimea annexed, the UK since 2015 have been openly training and rearming the Ukrainians teaching them NATO style of fighting. Look it up! The UK was openly doing it and Putin's mob were asking them to stop! it was all over Russian media at the time. The army Putin attacked were no ignorant farmers.
This is what I want to see. Love ♥️🥰
In Finland Every man IS military trained
Great to see the cohesion between allies as serves both immensely and hope trench network clearing with CQB and grenade clearing is included in Woodland warfare training as is bread and butter in some areas in Ukraine right now!
There is cqb basics and trench clearing is the norm even in places with mainly woodland training. Now Kaartin Jääkärirykmentti, are trained to fight mainly on citys and learn much more cqb. But every finnish soldier does know the basics of how to clear houses efficiently and as safely as possible.

@Gigachad Kekkonen Actually they do, quite a bit.
@Gigachad Kekkonen Ei kenenkään tarvitse meitä käyttää lihakilpenä, Venäjä ei ole ikinä ollut kuin vihamielinen meidän maata kohtaan, täällä on piiput ollut itäänpäin aina, älä edes yritä selittää muuta.
Nyt on vain niin ettei meidän tarvitse yksin niitä piippuja enää sinne sojotella.
Mitä rahaa? Suomihan on aina ollut enemmän tai vähemmän länsikalustolla varustettu, viimeiset 15-20 vuotta ollut täysin NATO yhteensopiva myös.
Ei täällä ole sellaista mediaa kuin Venäjällä, eikä ketään täällä mediasta sen enempiä edes välitä.
Kyllä se on me, tavan suomalaiset kun vain tiedetään mikä maailman mätäpaise Venäjän hallitus on ja on aina ollut. Kansaa kyllä käy sääliksi.
@Gigachad Kekkonen only took 8 days till one of you shown up
@Gigachad Kekkonen Ei täällä ketään mikään foobikko ole, ja kyllä niistä Ruotsin tekosista puhutaan myös, ei täällä jaeta liikaa rakkautta kumpaankaan suuntaan. Ero nyt vaan on että Ruotsi ei ole meidän vihollinen tänään eikä ole harrastanut agressiivista politiikkaa meitä kohtaan melkein pariin sataan vuoteen, toisin kuin Venäjä on tehnyt tähän päivään asti.
Kyse ei siis ole fobiasta vaan siitä mitä Venäjä tekee, vielä tänäkin päivänä.
Mikään ei myöskään ole kuluneempi aivopieru kuin tuo sinun "propaganda". Kai sinä raasu ymmärrät että jos Venäjä sanoo tai tekee jotain, se kuullaan täällä Suomessa suoraan hevosen suusta, eli sen ketä Venäjän johdossa on.
Eli koitappa nyt ajatella niillä aivoillasi kun sulla selkeesti sellasetkin on.
WOW nice! 💪💪💪💪
Together we are stronger.
What is the purpose of this "lights" on their helmets?
They shoot at each other with lasers attached to their guns so the (lights) on the helmets detects when they get hit by the laser and informs the soldier and the supervisors that this soldier is hit and where.
Here I thought the British would be goofy, I was wrong they look badass on that gear kinda game me a goosebump
fellow brit here but why are the british badges so small lol? yet has another country on his other arm 2x the size so strange
Lets says we're in a firefight and I was trying to find you in the middle of a forest when suddenly I see a large brightly coloured object that is not natural to the surrounding area. You're dead...
Because the other countries flag is given from the other countries uniform and the other uniform is done at a different size
In all honesty, it is just how our flag is designed, also it is better to be visible in the current time, you don't want to know what would happen if some Finnish soldier wouldn't recognize Brits from Russians in our forests. We are in high alert state at the moment and expect surprises from our "dear" neighbor.
Typically launching several diversionary attacks as pre emptive strikes first makes sence then stroking from surprise positions on exposed flanks leads to effective attacks on open pitched warfare from smaller forces attacking larger ones.‼🎋

Hello, I am from Peru, yes, and I will not publish again on military channels, this should be put on the agenda of possible purchases for the Peruvian armed forces, the challenger 2 tank is the best candidate for the Peruvian Army and Peruvian armed forces, the price per unit is 5 or 7 million dollars its cost is around there, the English tank is cheap, good armor, has great technology and is considered one of the best tanks in the world hopefully Peru
can buy these tanks and name one of the English Challenger 2 tanks William Guillermo Miller and Francisco Bolognesi for the Peruvian Army.
Peru used British fighter-bombers in an armed conflict in combat Canberra and we also had Hawk Hunter fighter-bombers
Greetings from Lima,Perú.
So switch it from I think the water the Deeds were for ground surface and underground water for the entire property to be adjudicated under the same trust name
I don't know anyone who has joined the British army my age 70yr from Scotland
yeah i was driving the bus so bacically without me this would have not been possible
Everybody gangsta until the forest starts speaking Finnish. :)
I was told a while back 20 people was put into positions to look after me and my children I do not believe those jobs have entirely been met or I just don't like the way it's been done so we will restructure these things and this is a place the training will begin to teach my kids how to defend themselves we will take our shooting courses up there all only talked by the best
Greatest countries!
Siamo forti 👍💪 support Italy
British army, what are the band's on the helmets for.
They are the Finnish armys laser simulation training equipment, made in Sweden. Rifles (and other weapons) emit a laser(you can see the emitters in few shots) when they are fired and the bands on the helmet, and vest, tell you if you were hit and where, and were you wounded or killed. They can also simulate indirect fire.
After the exercise you can view who moved where, who was "killed" where and by whom. That can give good lessons especially for leaders when you can see what mistakes you made with positioning or movement and what you did well.
@@teemup9247 THANK YOU SO MUCH, i was so curious
Strategically we will take military operations there's enough property and land for some of them to train their for Special Forces to secure the grounds and hire the guards that will keep the family in land safe all paperwork and deeds must go under David's trust is what I want it called
Even though my mother was a witch, I'll never understand how the British military came to the decision to introduce a rifle only suitable for right handed people. The Finns and the Americans can accommodate left handed shooters. Even the Aussies can adapt their bullpup rifles for lefties. But the Brits are like "We'll never get rid of it. We intend to be using the L85A36 in the year 2285. Right handed only."
Finnish Snipers equipped with L115 is Nightmare stuff for the Russians ;-)
Not really, the Russians will just remove the grid square the sniper/s lying in with a non-stop 12 hour barrage of rocket and artillery fire. Its what they've been doing in Ukraine for about the last 2 months. You don't fight wars/battles in accordance with your opponents strength's, you fight them in accordance with yours. Furthermore, what would a Russian soldier be doing in Finland or a Finnish soldier be doing in Russia? Putin/Russia has zero interest in Finland or any other European state, he has clearly stated his war (SMO) aims and has stuck to them without deviation. Pray for the sake of all humanity that the above scenario never comes to pass, unless you really dig radiation or being vapourised.
We have our SAKO TRG's =) Not that it matters, you give us some old beaten up black powder shotgun and we turn it to long distance anti material rifle with MOA less than 1 =D
They should do realy good with the British training them
I'm curious, what are those tiny camera-like things they're dotted with? What are they for?
Laser receivers. There is a equipment on the weapons that "shoots" lasers when you shoot blanks. It will tell you if you're hit and where
@@Jantzku Ohhh... of course, thank you.
@@AoyagiAichou also small audio queues inside that tell you youve been hit , the finnish has one attached to his rig
