Your unit patch look very close to the ww2 German unit .listen be proud of your military experience. I was in the USA Army 82nd airborne and ended up in the 2nd rangers. I like your Camouflage uniform pattern
Actually this patch is from the WWI afterwar in Estonia - Estonian Independence War. Kuperjanov battalion was founded then, by... lieutenant Kuperjanov (ethnic Estonian, with russificated name - very common in occupied Estonia.) who scrambled his frontline buddies and friends and establish a Kuperianov guerilla battalion what evolved to Kuperianov infantry battalion. Kuperianov died in very heroic, but not exactly tactical way. He was leading his battalion to take over a manor of Paju, what was believed to be abandoned by retreating communistic Russian troops, but instead it was very well occupied by large unit of soviet troops. Kuperianov's battalion get under fire in opening and instead of retreating they attacked successfully... but Kuperionov himself died. Badge is derivate from WWI trench folklore.
I live near Ft. Benning and a whole load of different nation's soldiers come and show their culture to the middle schoolers including Estonians and Latvians
it´s allmost the same camoflauge, as Finnish, but the differnce is that they have thoes wires going around legs, Finnish don´t. i guess... please, don´t kill me, if i´m wrong :)
Romeo Roberts is they were to hum it, it would sound like many as songs. I can’t like a few Ss songs that sound just like it. It might not have the lyrics to it, but oh well. They see it as an Estonian thing about defending Estonia. and that is fine.
10:30 Well, here in Sweden, in the winter, it rains constantly. If you do your training in Southern Sweden you will endure cold, yes, but that cold will be biting. -30°C is not biting anymore. It's dry cold. The southern cold is between -5°C and +5°C and rain. It's not too bad when it's dry and cold. It's a huge inconvenience if it's both wet and cold. Edit: I think there's still a training facility in Kiruna (I don't know but there was one) and my step dad did his training there. Coldest night he went through was -53°C. You have to piss very quick and hold on to your penis cuz more than 20 sec in that cold and your penis freezes.
We have winter in city of Dudinka temperature was −61°C... and also Norilsk −64°C, Yakutsk −64,6°C, Verkhoyansk −67,7°C, Oimyakon −71,2°C Your step dad want to try to piss in those places?
I’m not sure patriotism is brain wash, sure to a point it could be for some people. I just view patriotism as something some people have for their countries. We or at least I recognize many things wrong with the US but I’m still patriotic. I think an easier way is saying patriotism is outside of politics, I can understand how you felt different because you were forced to do something you did not want. Here however, people only join the military if they want to. Those that do get certain “rewards” for joining. The longer you stay in the better “rewards” you get.
He mentioned that the sense of patriotism that makes people feel they are the best in the world is the brainwashed one. He did mention that he himself is a patriot in a different way.
Patriotism. What you mention around 9:30 As a Latvian, and now American citizen, I can tell there’s a difference in patriotism between America and the European powers.. Idk. You’re right about the intensity in America, that sometimes looses its potency due to.. “brainwashing”.. I don’t know if I would use that term, but we both agree on the subject. I can say I prefer the European outlook. Thank you for your service to NATO, and above all, Estonia. -Latvian
Thank you for your valiant service to your country. People like you inspire me to join the military. I’m planning on joining the United States Air Force. To fly the A 10 warthog to support the troops on the ground I have wanted to join ever since I was a little kid. My dad was a KC-135 stratotanker pilot for 20 years
i had to stop while you were singing, because i think those two things connect really well, and they are music and soldier life, which reminded me from when i was just a scrubby army private from the Brazilian army, i was on field training in the plains, and we just finished digging a trench, our lieutenant had left to meet with the other COs and our sergeant was sleeping, because he was tired from leading a platoon of idiots into a lot of exercises, so i offered him to sleep while i watch the boys, and while me and the bois were making some means with some fruits and vegies we found on the wild early, with some birds my friend shot down, we never told our CO how we got that, and that his gun was missing 3 rounds that day. So, we were making that soup of vegies and some bird, the sergeant sleeping, no yelling, just chilling, one of the bois, we can call him bard, he pulled up an harmonica, and started playing that, and soon after we all were singing the battalion's march trough the sound of the harmonica he brought, it was simply bealtiful, too bad that Smartphones with cameras werent a thing in Brasil at the time i served, but that was one amazing moment of the life of all these soldier's there, and who wouldn't dare to change not one bit. Spoiler: the sergeanr wakes up later, and wasnt bothered at all with that, and the only thing out of regulation we had was the soup, so we all shared the soup and ate before the lieutenant returned.
American patriotism is not as you describe it, my family and family military history goes way back. I am also part Native American, I feel a connection to our land and great pride in my family’s extensive sacrifices to protect and defend our freedom 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As a citizen of a fellow NATO country, thank you for your service and for protecting the Free world. I'm lucky enough to not have compulsory service in my country but I have just as much respect for conscripts as I do for volunteers
In Finnish military, our biggest march was about 80km long. In that march, we had like 10 checkpoints, where we had to do something. One checkpoint was for example water crossing.
I forgot my extra pair of underwear at the rivercrossing checkpoint and walked without socks or underwear the rest of the march, walked about 60km without and my feet hurt very bad and also my ass! But i made it to the end! Never been prouder of myself than that day. Greetings from a reservist from UuPrdr/KrhK/1/14!!
AK-4 rifles (Swedish version of G3A3) And an MG3, Anti-tanks had Swedish Carl-Gustav's. Pretty old stuff. New conscripts in 2020/2021 should be getting new American rifles.
Rain brings to my mind some moments during the last quarter or so of my army service(I served 12 months in FDF) It was early winter already so the temperature was generally below zero and there was a bit of snow already but then one night the temperature rose bit above 0C and you guessed it, it started to rain. "Lucky us" we found out our tent wouldn't hold water and it was dripping inside along the walls and from the top of the tent and it even formed small puddle on the downhill side of the tent(luckily I slept uphill side). You can imagine the grief of trying to sleep in wet tent after spending (I think it was) 8 days in the field already(and few more to come) After that we started calling our tent "the waterpark Serena" lol Another fun thing that resulted of that rain was that as we woke up in the morning the temperature has dipped again and everything was now coated in few millimeters of ice. Even the tent ropes were frozen stiff(I think if we would have tried to hold them up they would have stayed straight still)
How is defending your people and fighting back against abuse ruining it for everybody? The allies when they refused Hitler's peace offers were the ones who ruined it for everybody He resurrected Germany from total misery and collapse, inflicted on them by the allied governments. Germans went from starving to the greatest movement on Human history, where everybody was well fed and strong, not only of body but of mind too. With a healthy and strong nationalistic mentality. That's the opposite of ruining it Like, unless you lived in Germany in that time, you starved or saw your relatives get gunned down by communist terrorists, then you have no right to judge or condemn. There was a reason why the Germans did what they did, and why they were pissed. And how can you condemn them for trying to take back the lands that were stolen from the German empire? After ww1 and after Austria-Hungary was destroyed by enemies of Europe You see, we Baltic and Eastern Europeans don't have the same weak gay mentality as the West does of white guilt and shame. We have no shame about our veteran's and their heroic service in the Wehrmacht I'm 100% proud that my family members fought in the SS against the red enemy in the Baltics. And we're not even pure white, because we Karelians have mongol blood from Siberia, and the Germans treated us extremely well and even risked their lives to defend us from communists. So yeah, what the allied propaganda says about them are lies
Great video Artur🖒Estonia have a beautiful military tradition to be very proud of.The units hwo defended Estonia in the Liberation War 1918-1919,the units who defended Estonia in German/Finnish uniform in WW2,the Forest Brothers heroic struggle 1945-53💪💪💪
Absolutely, many of my population fought with Estonians (cause we Karelians as a Finnish people are related to Estonians) or other Baltics against the red army and the communists attempts to take over our country's. Very heroic people's 🙏🏻
US trains in cold wet rain and snow, mud so deep you got to your waist when you get out of your vehicle, from training in a European theatre for years. Then deploys to the Arabian Desert to attack Iraq. Eventually as desert storm evolves into the ground war, the skies mysteriously cloud up and it becomes the coldest, wettest rainy season they've seen in over 20 years. Was it really a technological advantage? Or were the Iraqis hindered while the U.S. was now fighting in "their" element? Going to go shop for some ESTPAT for deer hunting now.
The ring should be worn again. Dont let it take control but let it remind you and the people around you know that you will protect those who are too weak to do it themselves. You trained so hard, dont let it fade away You are a knight, a man of Chivalry... You will protect those in need and serve your country, your fatherland...
Yeah, I'd say it's pretty common. The rebuilding of Estonian military after the restoration of independence was largely done by a man named Aleksander Einseln. The man was born in Estonia, in 1931. When the tides of WWII turned, and the Soviets began their advance on Germany and prepared to permanently occupy the countries on the path of the Red Army, they made sure to deport anyone likely to resist to Siberian GULAGs. His father happened to be among those people, and his mother fled with him to the west. They lived in West Germany until 1949, at which time they decided to move to the U.S. Having lost his father to the soviets, it's not hard to imagine how the man might have felt about communists, and anything they had their hands in. So scantly a year later, just before the Korean War had kicked off, he had joined the U.S army, and served as a paratrooper. In total, he served in the U.S army for 35 years, aside Korea doing 2 tours in Vietnam as an army ranger. From 1977 to 1982 he served as the head of the European and NATO office in the Planning and Policy Division of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He retired in 1985. In 1993, two years after regaining independence, the president of Estonia at the time, Lennart Meri, requested the retired colonel come and take command of Estonian military forces - square them up. Now, officially, the U.S State Department was very much opposed to such an idea, as things after the fall of USSR were still uncertain, and they were hoping to be dealing with a new, more agreeable Russia, and not wanting to have anything soiling these hopeful new developments. Apparently they went as far as threatening to revoke his U.S citizenship and threatening to terminate his military pension. Of course, the official answer to these official concerns was "stick it up yours, I'm going back home" - or so I imagine, for the man did just that. Although, I'm sure, unofficially, the U.S was more than happy to have someone like him in the Estonian military, making sure things were much more U.S-friendly. He held the command of the Estonian defence forces until some time in 1995, at which time he apparently resigned over a disagreement with the minister of defence at the time. During his time in charge though, he'd been a very busy man, introducing many of the U.S military doctrines and traditions that he'd picked up in the 35 years in U.S Army, while not exactly scoffing on absolutely everything the former Red Army personnel had to offer. And of course those things have survived until now - along more that's just being picked up from NATO and even just popular culture. As for the man himself, he stayed in Estonia until his death in 2017, worked in the education centers for officers, occasionally attempted to dabble in politics. His ashes now rest in the Arlington cemetery, alongside other veterans of Korean and Vietnam wars.
@@tormfury7376 It's extremely disgusting what they did by threatening to remove his citizenship or military pension, that's 100% illegal and a crime what they did
@@tormfury7376 The tides of ww2 changed because the Americans and British helped the communists. Germans were outnumbered and fighting on multiple fronts against the allied enemies, otherwise they would've crushed the communists, because we Baltic peoples were fighting with them against the red army. If it was just the communists against us they would've lost for sure When the red army went to Berlin to murder the population they were carried by American truck's. Before that they had committed the ethnic cleansing if German people form Prussia and Bohemia, also with British help. The American and British war crimes against German people and other Europeans, and their collaboration with the communists should never be forgotten or forgiven
In the past time of the Philippines if your a collage student you have to go to rotc which is basically training if a war breaks out but now they are reconsidering adding the rule again in college
Estonian Army has got: 44 CV9035's, will have 12 K9 Thunder's next year (2020), 60 XA-180, 81 XA-188 and some engineer type tanks. So basically we dont have tanks but we got armor. Estonian military is focused on infantry and infantry support.
Looks like I saw an American M2 .50 machine gun and an HK G3 rifle in the video. Is the G3 standard issue for Estonian forces? What do you use for light and/or medium and or general purpose machine gun? The FN MAG? You say "Estonian Soldier" on your videos but you only did the minimum conscription service and didn't want to do that. That seems a bit confusing?
Galil AR and AK-4 (G3A3) used to be standard issue rifle until 2022 when it was replaced by R20 "Rahe" (AR-15 type). Estonian military uses Negev, KSP 53 and MG3 as light machinegun and Browning as heavy
In Latvia we're like ''ain't nobody got time for that'' Although many people go voluntary to serve in National Guard, like my cousin. Especially after the whole Ukraine thing.
As a U.S Marine artilleryman I dont think we are brainwashed we are just damn good at destroying and ending our enemies existence on earth Semper Fi to all my Brothers
I remember the time when we were fighting you kuperjanovs at Võru's Nursipalu city defense. Probably the most enjoyable things I had on my ajateenistus.
The Kuperjanov Infantry Battalion is a battalion of the Estonian Land Forces. It is a part of the 2nd Infantry Brigade. Battalion headquarters is at Taara Army Base, Võru.
Do they force you to shoot Right-Handed? I shoot left handed, as my left eye is dominant and I am left handed for everything, except writing, throwing, and kicking. So when wearing that it would show my right arm instead of left arm, so how does that work when someone is left handed?

In 1993, two years after regaining independence, the president of Estonia at the time, Lennart Meri, requested the retired colonel come and take command of Estonian military forces - square them up. Now, officially, the U.S State Department was very much opposed to such an idea, as things after the fall of USSR were still uncertain, and they were hoping to be dealing with a new, more agreeable Russia, and not wanting to have anything soiling these hopeful new developments. Apparently they went as far as threatening to revoke his U.S citizenship and threatening to terminate his military pension. Of course, the official answer to these official concerns was "stick it up yours, I'm going back home" - or so I imagine, for the man did just that. Although, I'm sure, unofficially, the U.S was more than happy to have someone like him in the Estonian military, making sure things were much more U.S-friendly.
He held the command of the Estonian defence forces until some time in 1995, at which time he apparently resigned over a disagreement with the minister of defence at the time. During his time in charge though, he'd been a very busy man, introducing many of the U.S military doctrines and traditions that he'd picked up in the 35 years in U.S Army, while not exactly scoffing on absolutely everything the former Red Army personnel had to offer. And of course those things have survived until now - along more that's just being picked up from NATO and even just popular culture. As for the man himself, he stayed in Estonia until his death in 2017, worked in the education centers for officers, occasionally attempted to dabble in politics. His ashes now rest in the Arlington cemetery, alongside other veterans of Korean and Vietnam wars.
@@tormfury7376 It's extremely disgusting what they did by threatening to remove his citizenship or military pension, that's 100% illegal and a crime what they did
@@tormfury7376 The tides of ww2 changed because the Americans and British helped the communists.
Germans were outnumbered and fighting on multiple fronts against the allied enemies, otherwise they would've crushed the communists, because we Baltic peoples were fighting with them against the red army. If it was just the communists against us they would've lost for sure
When the red army went to Berlin to murder the population they were carried by American truck's. Before that they had committed the ethnic cleansing if German people form Prussia and Bohemia, also with British help.
The American and British war crimes against German people and other Europeans, and their collaboration with the communists should never be forgotten or forgiven
I have an Estonian crew on rdr2 online, and my crew and me really like it, so LONG LIVE ESTONIA 🇪🇪.
In Switzerland, we can get out of it for Bs reasons, like if you say you sleep walk, you get exempted or another option is paying extra taxes
I have a strange urge to get that cup. Where. WHERE DO I BUY THIS CUP??!! I WANT IT!
In the past time of the Philippines if your a collage student you have to go to rotc which is basically training if a war breaks out but now they are reconsidering adding the rule again in college
Great I'm fascinated by the Training even though it's f****ng difficult
JOJ !!!!! Artur patriotika !!!!! Pure love of the mother land of Europe bro xx
Hi I'm a new subscriber and I love your vids love from Hellenic Republic AKA Greece
Here's a question, does the Estonian army have any tanks?
Estonian Army has got: 44 CV9035's, will have 12 K9 Thunder's next year (2020), 60 XA-180, 81 XA-188 and some engineer type tanks. So basically we dont have tanks but we got armor. Estonian military is focused on infantry and infantry support.
no, not real battle tanks but it's still the strongest army in the baltics in terms of numbers equipment and training
You don-t need tanks in the forest. We hunt them there. :)
We have some recently bought light tanks but not heavy tanks. We are also considering buying sum South Korean self propelled artillery
@@harditohvri5242 loodame et mitte
Hyvä Eesti! Hyviä ja kovia poikia!! :)
Ur the best!. I love you!!;)
Looks like I saw an American M2 .50 machine gun and an HK G3 rifle in the video. Is the G3 standard issue for Estonian forces? What do you use for light and/or medium and or general purpose machine gun? The FN MAG?
You say "Estonian Soldier" on your videos but you only did the minimum conscription service and didn't want to do that. That seems a bit confusing?
Galil AR and AK-4 (G3A3) used to be standard issue rifle until 2022 when it was replaced by R20 "Rahe" (AR-15 type). Estonian military uses Negev, KSP 53 and MG3 as light machinegun and Browning as heavy
In Latvia we're like ''ain't nobody got time for that''
Although many people go voluntary to serve in National Guard, like my cousin. Especially after the whole Ukraine thing.
Have you cooporated with other people, like from other countries, for example Latvians
As a U.S Marine artilleryman I dont think we are brainwashed we are just damn good at destroying and ending our enemies existence on earth Semper Fi to all my Brothers
I remember the time when we were fighting you kuperjanovs at Võru's Nursipalu city defense. Probably the most enjoyable things I had on my ajateenistus.
“I don’t want to remember my army days” 5:05
Nope
3:30 one of the most badass things sayings I have ever heard
I would actually listen to this song, can I find it anywhere? (I didn’t really like the remix)
Nice video bro.
to be honest, I kinda want to join the Canadian military soon and I'm planning on joining the air force.
Good luck from Estonia
@@emilbarenklau722 thank you!
What's the song called from the time stamp 3:12 ?
The Kuperjanov Infantry Battalion is a battalion of the Estonian Land Forces. It is a part of the 2nd Infantry Brigade. Battalion headquarters is at Taara Army Base, Võru.
I do anyway enjoy hearing military stories form a direct source.
Artur keep up the army videos i have been in the army too 😊😉
Habe ich im Thumbnail ein Mg3 aufgeklärt ?
For the english speakers
Have I spotted an MG3 in the Thubnail?
Deshalb habe ich auch wieder auf ein Artur Rehi Video geklicked. :)
Do they force you to shoot Right-Handed? I shoot left handed, as my left eye is dominant and I am left handed for everything, except writing, throwing, and kicking. So when wearing that it would show my right arm instead of left arm, so how does that work when someone is left handed?
Are you able to choose which service for your conscription? I spent 3 months at Amari Air Base and enjoyed working with the soldiers (airmen) there.
I love your definition of "Patriotism." Hooooooah!
2:18 they´re singing ´´the Narva Pataljon`` ss song, right?
Can you talk about the equiptment in the Estonian Army?
Artur your singing and music skills are nice
hey mate, I'm thinking of moving to Estonia in the next 3 years, would I have to join the military as a foreigner??
No
in sweden its kalled lumpen and you choice if you want to go to lumpen
edit: sorry for my bad english!
Aren't they bringing conscription back?
Gtpcgaming i don’t know
@@truls6803 yes conscription is back
wtf fml if im going to lumpen
fo what broo!!
Is the Estonian military mostly defense or are some parts for attacking
Mainly defence but also attacking. We basically attack when we need to get our land back if it is taken by the enemy.
Honestly for some reason I loved this! The skull and bones resembles something from my father’s country, it was to say that your bones (life) goes to the fatherland...
Heroic symbol 💪
yo that song made my room mates wake up ,i thought ...they were pissed ,but no they joined in for a bit lol
12:43 Is that a spare barrel on your back?
Such a beautiful country.. 😊
Does the Estonian military have a youtube channel? If so could someone link it?
There is one called „sodurileht“
Sodurileht, 1. jalaväebrigaad and 2. jalaväebrigaad are the 3 main channels.
Thank you
Applaud him,everyone .
The scull for the cap looks exactly like the One of the ss....
Tavish skulls generally look like skulls
HMM...
That is an old thing going back long before the SS was even a dream. I pay no mind to it. The NAZI hijacked a lot of things that are forever tainted.
@@GeorgeSemel i know i know but i just found it interesting that it looks abusulutely same
@@tavish4699 They look similar but not the same at all.
In thumbnail he was Holding MG42 Was?????

I am asuming my duty for military service this year in October... My estonian is about an A2 so... Let's see how it goes...
In 12:37 that's a german MG42 right from WW2?
aimar ramadhan MG3, basically a newer modern model of the older MG42
German MGs are so famous since ww2 and even still uses today in the EU and some terrorist groups.
