what other countries should Russia invade?

Not “other countries”, but specifically European! They do this every 100 years

Yes, friends, we got carried away off-top.
It’s interesting to get acquainted with the history of the Finnish Air Force

t’s amazing how many Russians still don’t understood why their country has so few friends

Maybe the US have friends? True? :stupid:

If Finland chooses to join NATO thats entirely (and NATO) their choice, and Russia has absolutely no saying in whatever Finland chooses to do with its external relations, the end.

If Finland wants to maintain good relations with Russia, then it should not Join an aggressive anti-Russian bloc. If you want to defecate at the front door neighbor, you will get adequate (or any) reaction. Be ready…

Yes, it’s completely unthinkable that a country would stage a military operation to seize territories it sees wrongfully taken from it…

In 1938 – 39 years were the Soviet-Finnish talks on the territorial issue.

Presented by the Soviet side version of the agreement was as follows:

Finland carries border 90 km from Leningrad.
Finland agrees to lease the USSR for 30 years Hanko peninsula to build a naval base and the deployment of four thousandth troops for its defense.
Soviet military fleet available ports on the Hanko peninsula in Hanko and in Lappohya (Fin.) Russian.
Finland sends USSR Hogland Island, Laavansaari (now the powerful), and Tytarsaari Seyskari.
Existing Soviet-Finnish nonaggression pact supplemented article on mutual commitment not to enter into a coalition of states and groups hostile to either side.
Both states disarm their fortifications on the Karelian Isthmus.
USSR passes Finnish territory in Karelia a total area twice received the Finnish (5529 km²).
USSR undertakes not to oppose the arming of the Åland Islands of Finland on its own.

Finland disagreed. This issue was resolved by military means

Russia has two fifth-generation engine: izd.117 (15500 kgs) and izd.30 (17500 kgs).
Engine Development of VK-10 (10000 kgs) and VK-12 (12000 kgs), a fighter for the twin-engine, requires extra money

Since 1995 both are partners in the EU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland Since 1809 the geopolitical opponent was Russia.

I can not eat mushrooms — I’ve promised them 🙂
Do not exaggerate the value of Finland. Today, Russia has only two geopolitical enemy of the USA and China

Well, it is not necessarily that simple. Media claims that F-35 and Gripen are the real candidates and many politicians are talking warmly about Gripen. But what is published about Gripen IOC and FOC schedules does not fit the Finnish AF selection schedule

Look at the history of Finland. Sweden and Finland’s geopolitical opponents

So you would be paying a significant penalty in the forward sector.

Yes. But the search sector will increase to 240 degrees.
