a very interesting aspect of Finlands Gripen fighter which I didn't know is it can land on even relatively minor roads .
potential to rendezvous with ground crew , re-arm , refuel without ever returning to base .
Finlands terrain lends itself to guerilla warfare if ever attacked .
Forrests , lakes and swamps .
During the winter war one Finnish sniper was credited with 500 kills .
Winter war causalty rate was 6 russ to one Finn.
80% of Finnish males have military training and target practice popular amonst women .
Few russ roads leading to Finland meaning long lines of tanks would provide easy targets .
even apart from the NATO alliance -Finland would be a very hard nut for russia to crack ......comforting for Europe considering putins aggressive intent .
