Finnish Defence Forces | Operational Quantities of Equipment 2024 | How strong is Finland’s Defence?

#army #military #finland In this review of Finland’s armed forces, the Finnish Defence Forces, we look at the quantities of both manpower and equipment in the Finnish Defence Forces. We also look at the operational quantities of equipment, because it is often less than the actual listed amounts. Please bear in mind that this list is not exhaustive as armies often do not disclose all of their gear. The Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) (Finnish: Puolustusvoimat, Swedish: Finska Försvarsmakten) are the military of Finland. The Finnish Defence Forces consist of the Finnish Army (Maavoimat), the Finnish Navy (Merivoimat), and the Finnish Air Force (Ilmavoimat). In wartime, the Finnish Border Guard becomes part of the Finnish Defence Forces. To make the video a bit shorter, and also due to Finland’s recent ascension into NATO, we’ve left out small arms, mines, uniforms and so forth, as these are likely to change to NATO-standard weaponry within the next few years. In conclusion, the Finnish Defence Forces are an extremely capable force. They’ve got a very prepared population, a large reserve, Europe’s largest stockpile of artillery and a well equipped force.
