btw the source is the Institute for Policy Studies, a libtard anti-war think tank that always takes Russia's side, and advocated against getting involved with Ukraine.
In the specific example of towed artillery, you're absolutely correct, a lot of the Finnish towed artillery is based off the 1960s Soviet D-30 piece. The one that's still in service with 30% of the world's countries. The rest of it isn't as modern as the US, for instance, but it's not that old, and they've got quite a stockpile of non-Soviet stuff.
You're protesting just a little too hard, I think...
LOL.
Guess why Putinbot didn't link the source? Because it's dated May 1, 1997
Source article obviously doesn't mention Finland. lololol.

I thought that was odd. Seems the Finnish military currently runs Leopard 2s, which, whatever you may think about their obsolescence, are not Soviet

Does artillery really need updating?
