A bit about the history of the Finnish Tank Forces

Finland might not seem to be a powerful nation, but its military can and has fought back against serious opponents in part because it has decent tank forces. They have come a long way since their foundation. From the WWI-era FT-17 tanks to the Panzers and T-34s, Charioteers and to the latest acquisition—the Leopard 2A6.

History of the Fox

The FV721 Fox Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Wheeled), or simply Fox, was a light armoured car/reconnaissance vehicle produced by ROF Leeds and used by the British Army from the early 1970s up until 1994.

Finnish Independence Day tank display in Lappeenranta, Finland.

6th of December is a huge day for any Finn. Independence Day is one of the most important holidays in Finland, so it has become a tradition to organize a display of military power on that day. It includes a parade, tank displays, helicopter shows, and so on. I took pictures of some vehicles that seemed interesting to me.
