Hello again, guys. Summer has turned to autumn and new breeze is blowing in my boring life too. First, I’d like to share with you some old snapshots from early 90s when I had just finished high school and made a holiday trip to nice little island called Pogada, located near United Sahrani. Communist regime had just been overthrown and people were enthusiastic and even naive about the prospects of capitalism. Now you may ask why these old photos?

Well guess what, I have re-enlisted back to service in the Finnish Rapid Deployment Force and assigned its HQ company. We are about to be deployed to Pogada. There’s been a bit of unrest there after some dramatic events took place in United Sahrani sometime ago. Maybe the top brass thought I could be useful as a liasion officer since I do have some rare real-life experience in peace-enforcement operations.

Anyway, I’m off soon and maybe not able to update my blog for some time since internet connections are not my main concern when I get there. Wish me luck guys…CU.

Hello again, guys. This is a shot of some of the latest hardware that the Army possesses – the versatile Patria AMV – Armored Modular Vehicle.

The ride I was offered was more smoother and steadier than in the old tin can XA-185 PASI which hauled me during my conscription.

According to the manufacturer: “The AMV has the best protection level up to 30 mm APFSDS frontal arc and it has a top-class mine protection up to 10 kg TNT. The high payload allows various types of weapon systems to be integrated, from 7.62 mm to 105 mm turret systems or 120 mm AMOS.”

This version is armed with American M2 HB machinegun in remote-operated turret similiar in fashion to that of Stryker APC.

Hi again, folks. This time I’d like to share with you a photo from a recent shooting competition in Haukisaari, near Karttula. I took part only to 25m/10 shot pistol competition but scored so bad I dare not to mention it here 🙂

Anyway after the official part was over we did some plinking with various firearms. The foreign gentleman at the front immediately wanted to try out my M31 ‘Suomi’ submachinegun and Pertti, my old army buddy tested the M39 rifle from my modest historical firearms collection.

The elderly man liked how the M31 operated and sprayed two full drums at the target, despite forgetting his radio gear on which we used earlier on our practical-shooting expiriment. I didn’t find out what he does for a living but I bet it involves handling various guns.

To sum it up, it was a fun weekend!

Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been working hard at my job, trying to get a big project finished during the summer.

Here are couple of shots from last summer’s refresher course for you military enthusiasts, first of which shows beret-wearing reservist taking potshots with a “trusty” old M80 pistol. The latter one is a picture of 12.7mm ITKK equipped with optical anti-aircraft sight.

The heavy tube being wielded in the third shot by some AT guy is the infamous 112 RsKes Apilas, bringing memories from those long marches years ago when I had to haul two of them, one on each shoulder. At the refresher exercise I got to shoot with TRG-42 (8.6 kiv 2000) and kick was heavier than old TKKIV 85 but the ballistics is way better, extending range 100s of meters further than that of the old rifle.

Hi all, I just wanted to share some memories from last summer’s refresher course which was held at Niinisalo drill area. The weather was hot but we got to wear the brand new M/05 camouflage suits which were comfortable enough, although an ‘old hand’ like me still prefers the old M/62 camo.

One of the officers in charge is my good mate, and allowed me to hang around as unofficial ‘combat cameraman’ after my part in the drill was finished.

Here’s a shot of two conscripts from Pori ambushing ‘friendly’ BMP-2 with dummy 66 KES 88 AT launcher (although the yellow stripe indicating a dummy weapon is missing and guy at the front has lost the blank adapter from his RK 95 assault rifle!).
