Satellite images show Russian military buildup near Finnish border

14 comments

1. SS: Recent satellite imagery shows significant Russian military expansion near Finland’s eastern border, with over 130 new troop tents, large vehicle storage halls, and revived Arctic airbases. Analysts interpret the moves as a strategic, phased response to Finland and Sweden’s accession to NATO, reflecting Russia’s long promised ‘military-technical’ countermeasures.

2. They waited 60 years for Simo Hayha to die and then waited another 20 just to be absolutely sure

3. Good. As a Finnish reservist I’d prefer much more orcs on their side of the border close to us as that leaves much fewer orcs in Ukraine.

4. Where’s the nothing ever happens gang?

5. Well, this could be troops or just a decoy; we will live, we will see.

6. lol wtf, the helsinki times couldnt have actually just got the 3 images themselves instead of this mobile screengrab with a play button?

   For those who want the original media and source:

7. Ukraine, they want to annex. Finland, what’s the goal?

8. Hmm. I’ve always worried that Putin would go into a NATO country, but test us by doing something like moving troops into an empty forest/plain across the border and just settling up camp there.

9. There’s no way Putin is stupid enough to attack a NATO state

   Finland has 900,000 reservists with amazing Western training & equipment, Putin won’t even try it because he knows he’d get bogged down almost instantly even IF there was a ceasefire with Ukraine and even IF he could transfer soldiers from Ukraine to to Finland

10. Helsinki times is a trash news outlet. A couple of years ago they had shameless puff pieces denying the mistreatment of Uighyrs in China. Some weird stuff going on there

11. More troops there means less troops in Ukraine but I don’t think Putin will start a conflict there He underestimated Ukrainian resistance, Finland unlike Ukraine has better trained troops and weapons.

    Probably a show of force or something? Propaganda to distract the populace?

12. I don’t think Putin will attack Finland. Finland has a large amount of soldiers and reservists with western gear and support. It would not go well for him.

13. It’s safer to train soldiers near Finland than in Donetsk.

14. Absolute nothingburger, this happens every now and then up here.
