Talk:Equipment of the Finnish Army

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I edited the article somewhat and added/corrected a few figures. By the way, I would be slightly surprised if the army had as many as 21 Marksmans and 100 Euro-Spike launchers. What's the source for that? Teekkari 13:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

The sources are many, Suomen Sotilas, Ruotuväki, Maamme Turvaaja, Rannikon Puolustaja, see also this link (Finland is on p. 72) and so on and so forth...There are also newer editions online here (observe that it is the current figures that are given, so if you choose a newer edition you might get less or more of other weapon systems). The numbers should be fairly correct. The Marksmans are that many, and the Euro-Spike is a fairly cheap system (compared to e.g. TOW)--MoRsE 14:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

On page 119 of the book 'Itsenäisen Suomen ilmatorjuntatykit 1917-2000' it's mentioned that only six Marksmans were acquired, so I'm changing the amount to 6 in the article. Also, I would still be interested to know what particular source mentions the figure 100 for the Euro-Spike launchers.
