RT @eskelinen_antti: #Finland still have coastal artillery batteries.
Some say they are outdated. However, they are cheap, they cost nothing to shoot, and modern ships have no armor, so cannons make great damage on #Russia`n warships. Guns are also very difficult to destroy.

RT @CorporalFrisk: LOI by Sweden for 24 new #Archer 155 mm SPH by @BAESystemsplc to be used as divisional level artillery for the upcoming Swedish division. Interestingly point to a battalion with three 8-gun batteries, which would be quite a bit stronger than current arty bat TOE. #turpo=#säkpol

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.

Attackerna mot Nordstream har återigen lyft behovet av numerär, och väcker samtidigt frågor kring vilken typ av numerär vi kommer att behöva som nya NATO-länder. I kölvattnet av sabotaget syntes alliansens styrka tydligt – en av orsakerna till att svenska…

Yli 150km kantaman omaava maasta laukaistava #GLSDB-täsmäammus pystyy muuttamaan suuntaa lennon aikana. Sillä voi siis iskeä myös maaleihin, joihin perinteisillä epäsuoran tulen asejärjestelmillä ei pystytä vaikuttamaan. Lue lisää: https://t.co/8b9tvJySbh #turpo #puolustus @Saab https://t.co/F2vuY26Zgn
