I see a lot of Soviet vehicles in Finnish hands, good business relations, I suppose

I see a lot of Soviet vehicles in Finnish hands, good business relations, I suppose

1/3 from soviets, 1/3 from the west and 1/3 domestic was the policy when this was filmed.

You can see soviet vehicles, finnish mortars, finnish rifles, finnish ships, soviet planes and swedish planes in the single video.

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

Okay, those Finnish rifles are spectacular, very much like the Galil of Israel; I did not know the origin of the naval units, but I did recognize the legendary Draken you used.

 

[PEMM]

I am not an expert, but I have heard that the galil used RK-62 receivers in the first batch.

EDIT: Wikipedia said so.

 

[Conhoon]

@PEMM is right. In addition, as a curiosity it can be added that the first series of Galil carbines, manufactured immediately after the Yom Kippur war, have parts produced in the Finnish factories Valmet, not Israel Military Industries

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

Rk.62!
