Finland wants to join NATO?
This country with a border line of thousands of kilometers with Russia is finally going to turn to NATO, which is not good news for Russia, and at this time, it is proposed to join NATO, which is undoubtedly to add to President Putin's face. When it comes to Finland, it's not a simple country
A war with the Soviet Union was quite hardcore.
The Soviet-Finnish War, also known as the Winter War, was a war of aggression waged by the Soviet Union against Finland during World War II.
From november 1939, when the Soviet Union launched war until Finland surrendered in March 1940, the war cost the Soviet Union dearly in just a few months. The Soviet Union eventually won, but such a crushing victory still made the Soviet Union lose face internationally.
During the war, the Soviet Union averaged more than 800,000 troops per month, but the total number of troops that the Finnish side could mobilize was only 400,000; the Soviet Union invested a total of 2,000 tanks, compared with 70 in Finland; the Soviet Union put in 2,500 combat aircraft, but Finland had only 400. The military strength of the two sides is several times different, and the equipment can be said to be dozens of times different.
According to the statistics of the combat establishment, the Soviet Union invested a total of more than thirty infantry divisions and eight tank brigades during the war, while Finland had only 13 infantry divisions during the war, of which three were improvised. However, according to post-war statistics, the Soviet Union suffered a total of 300,000 casualties during the war, while the Finnish side suffered less than 100,000 casualties.
After the war, although Finland lost part of its territory, it preserved its country and proved itself to the world, which made the Soviet Union lose face internationally.
