Re: 1st time in history Finnish Air Force has capability to strike Mos

finland should be worry if that aggressor is russia,

because glory of winter war or kill ratio of some war exercise not gonna help much.
Calm down friend, friend Jouni has nothing against Russia. You are speaking in some of your post the way Pakistanis speak of India. Every milestone India achieves is like a threat to their less than deserving nation. Pay attention to his words and don't make his nation's achievement a matter of power comparison between our friend and their sovereignty. Good Day.

Striking Moscow is no big deal in theory.

But to evade Air Defence and interceptors and ABMs are what are the impediments.

Further, one has to also cater for the devastating backlash.

If one has all that Systems Go, then yes striking Moscow will be as smooth as a baby's bottom.

Easier said than done is what one would think is the real answer.

Mathias Rust flew Cessna from Helsinki to Moscow, and that time SU was at the height of it powers. Or so everybody thought.

@Razor@sajeevjino

IMO iskanders in kalingrad are a calculated move and a warning to Europe/USA.
Right now we are not overtly being aggressors only placing short range missiles
But we can change that . Maybe topol will be placed in the future?

Soviet interceptors were never given permission to shoot him down.

Still Soviet generals were fired and the soviet myth destroyed. That hastened the collapse, psychology effect is the most important. I bet that if needed FiAF could do a strike like Operation Opera towards Russia. In that case also the psychology effect would be the most important.

Then I would have to ask, what Russian target presents a potential threat to Finland which would justify such a strike?

At this stage nothing. In crisis situation military installations, bridges etc. I cannot ever imagine us bombing civilians, even if Russians would.

Do not worry, I last week realised that we bought latest cruise missiles JASSM and of course I could not help starting to speculate. Russians can sleep in peace.

Just OT, when are you gonna finish the Nuclear power plant your Areva is building in Olkiluoto? It is already 10 years late. We could bomb that if it is never finished ;)

He was detected by the Soviet AD, but permission to launch missile was not given.

Two interceptors were airborne and they thought it to be similar to Yakovlev Yak-12. They were denied permission to engage.

Maybe they did not take action thinking he was a defector and that would be a propaganda coup for USSR.

The radar blip and movement of a Cessna and that of a fighter are two different things.

Several radars have been programmed to recognize the distinct radar signatures of enemy and friendly aircraft. One of the ways it can do this is by processing the radar energy that is returned from the engine duct and the fan blades themselves. Different engines have different numbers and shapes of fan blades. The radar combined with sophisticated signal processing can count the blades and determine the type of aircraft.

Nothing bothers us.

We, at the DFI, are a very tolerant lot and can take the thick with the thin.

If it did bother, it would have been removed since it is not carved in stone.

Carry on regardless.
