29. An interesting thread on Finish volunteers. Informs that about 50 Finns serve in UAF currently. No deaths listed until now but 3 WiA.
In the wider international unit no single loss from small arms fire but rather from artillery or direct tank fire.

RT @eskelinen_antti: In #Finland, construction companies use their extra concrete every day for protective elements. State buys them for use by army.
In this exercise, rescue service practices ruin rescue after #Russia`n attack against civilian targets.

These are made in #Finland and appear to have been donated from Finnish Military stocks.

7/x well, this is what we always discuss with #Finland reservists: "The critical question therefore was whether the professional body of the UAF could hold for long enough for a wider mobilisation to bolster #Ukraine’s defences in the event of war"

7. This undoubtedly happened. But I also recall cases where RuAF readily concentrated armour + soft skins into small areas without being canalised or just seemed sloppy. Skybyn near Brovary and Kamyanka dam in Kharkiv Region (both March) first come to mind.

12/x Like #Finland doctrine: "Thus, Ukrainian defence plans aimed at using manoeuvre forces to fix and canalise attackers to enable their destruction by concentrated artillery fire"
