Tulen keskellä - Maavoimien vaikuttamisharjoitus 2013 / Shrieking shrapnel - Finnish field artillery

Here comes the rain

Mene ryssä tuonne maalialueelle.

why u have Russian gun? did Finland rob it in WW2?

Pew Pew pew

This sounds exactly like those horrible bullet ricochet sounds from 1960s western movies. I was expecting a more somber and terrifying sound, not a sound eliciting images of Clint Eastwood gunning someone off a sloon balconey.

Liiter hää senku seisoo pystys. Ei pojat, ei sotaa näin käyä.😂

Finnish skill with weapons is why Stalin didn't try a second time even after defeating the Third Reich. Nice work!

Spicy popcorn

One good side effect of having dozens after dozens trainloads of artillery ammo in stock, is that you can fire soon expiring lots in massive quantities, just for fun and kicks. Its best man can do with trousers on. 😁 Fire till you can no more, and are little dumb by concussions.

Ammo would had to be exploded on pit, if Finn artillerymen could not fire them first. Its mostly gunpowder charges which expire, not shells. We have huge surplus of guns for our needs, so there is dedicated "range guns" which will be fired till end of barrel life - after that, going to metal recycling.

Finns have around 850 heavy artillery pieces on stock for war, but we have tens more in Rovajärvi range, and much more forgotten in granite caves all around country. Finns have underground storage spaces to easily forget 100 or so guns.

Vanha.filmi.

the camera man☠☠

Multiply this a hundred folds then you get World War I

Papatit paukkuu

Send this to Putin.....no forget it, he doesn't care. Send it to the Russians who will be asked to invade Finland. Finns have a LOT of artillery and are very tough fighters. It didn't look good the last time Russia invaded them either.

Finland has great artillery firing ranges, biggest is 1100 square kilometre range in Rovajärvi. No decimal error. Most beautifull place.

Täältä tulleeee tulta!!!; Terv tykistö alias rahikainen

Poor trees :)
I prefer air-burst though.
(Former leader, Furir, on 155mm Bofors Haubits 77-A.)

Some kind of trench would be recommended

When I was in the army in late 2021 we were taught to yell: "ilmasta kuuluu repivää ääntä"= translates to something like "tearing sound comes from the sky" referring to the rumbling an tearing sound that the shell make as they are flying towards you. Only later in training did we learn what it sounded like. And I can Imagine how terrifying it is from the other end, when it get louder by the second untill everything blows up. Also eary was that we could hear the shells land and explode in the distance. We were 11km (7miles) away. First you shoot them, hear them soar through the air like a jet, then a second of silence and explosion.

Airburst is even more terrifying. Terve Suomalainen.

I had problems firing again, the barrel wagin, hopping, for in LnG 6 it hopped a bit. Over 50 cm with the weels. Lavette spades securely into the ground.

Blam: a mussle flash you never saw. Deadly if not standing right.

Hyvat tykit. Jukolauta jos our boys had artillery like that to reduce the mottis during the Winter war or for defensive purposes during the battle of Tali-Ihantala , can you imagine! But then again, life is full of "what ifs"...Our boys, now elderly men or gone, they saved our Finnish nation, and for that I will be eternally grateful to them! I was for born free. Thanks to their sacrifices I was born free.

That is horrifying. I can't comprehend what the men in WW1 had to go through.

Miksi tällä on 1.4 miljoonaa näyttö kertaa?

Exercise true combat power

damn feels like just a game of luck on the receiving end. You you you and you. dead. you you you and you. congrats. you get to fight again tomorrow

finnish artillery is so good and many dont even know it, better than all the other nordic countries combined.

intti on niin sotaa! haluun omgg xd!

on vähä erinäköistä kuin jenkkien elokuvissa :D ei ole mahtavaa tulipalloa sirpaleet vinkuu kyllä kauas

Miten se oli se 19m tj:stä tällä reissulla?

How the POV of a soldier under artillery bombardment looks like, right until his final moment.

Would be crazy if someone filmed an artillery barrage with one of those 360 degree cameras so the viewer could pan around.

Suomella on aina ollu kova tykistö!

Megumin would approve this.

Ok now have this going on 24/7 with 200+ more artillery batteries all firing at once and you get an idea of how ww1 was like

Fug why u couldn't hit that tiny hut : _D Could be pretty good footage.

Tiedä kipeä säde, pienellä tulella ja sen kipeä vaikutuksella on jotakin!! Voi olla että, kun tulen suuntaus sattuu kohalleen. Tulee vankeja tai ohtaluuhun ammuttuja vaimennetulla 9mm. Helvetin hyvä möykkä!

Tuossa on hyvä olla valmiiksi maanalla. Laiskakin ukko mielellään kaivaa monttua itselleen.

that's place #1 i do not want to be standing in

Are these 150mm he ? Explosions looked kinda underwhelming, one hit almost directly on artillery and didn't do any visible damage or even moved it, hmm.

What gun is that?

Now you know when your told to dig that hole deep and put cover on it. Listen to us that served.

Imagine being there on the receiving end..

Damn, I feel really bad in my stomach zone. Jeez...

Why Finnish artillery shoot own men?
