Re: Current Finnish OOB - some notes for discussion
I know the reason we kept them in the Swedish and Swiss OOBs and other importers of the weapons was because we had verifiable information that those weapons were in storage with these countries. Based on that fact we felt that in a time of war especially from an armor heavy Russia (And look at what we're dealing with now with Ukraine, increased exercises on the Scandinavian frontiers and Russia militarizing the Arctic region.) these weapons would be used until expended against an attack. This discussion occurred 3-4 years ago and I believe is either in the SPA/SPAA Thread or a separate thread Don started on the STRIX. After much discussion we felt it was the logical solution to keep them.
Regards,
Pat
