None of the footage is mine.
Hello all, I hope you are all going well. Today I present to you a video based on the Finnish Air Force part of the Finnish Defense Forces. I have decided to do this type of video on request from a good friend, and therefore it is dedicated to them. They know who they are. Anyways, I was able to find good footage from the 1970's and 1980's of the J35 Draken and MiG-21bis in Finnish Service, so here they are. Thank you for 900 subscribers, I wish you all the best. Enjoy!
The Finnish Air Force (FAF or FiAF) (Finnish: Ilmavoimat ("Air Forces"), Swedish: Flygvapnet ("Air Arm")) is one of the branches of the Finnish Defense Forces. Its peacetime tasks are airspace surveillance, identification flights, and production of readiness formations for wartime conditions. The Finnish Air Force was founded on 6 March 1918.
During the Cold War years, Finland tried to balance its purchases between east, west and domestic producers. This led to a diverse inventory of Soviet, British, Swedish, French and Finnish aircraft. After leading Finnish politicians held unofficial talks with their Swedish counterparts, Sweden began storing surplus Saab 35 Drakens, which were to be transferred to Finland in the event of a war with the Soviet Union. These were kept until the 1980s. On 22 September 1990, a week before the unification of Germany, Finland declared that the limiting treaties were no longer active and that all the provisions of the Paris Peace Treaties were nullified.
