Tipping point: a subversive military agreement, Finland and the United States join hands to attack Russia

One day, an unusual storm broke through on the international stage, when Finland and the United States quietly signed a subversive military agreement. This agreement not only opens the doors of 15 military bases in Finland to the United States, but also allows the US military to be freely stationed in Finland and deploy a large number of **, equipment and various combat units. At the same time that the Nordic nation declared its alliance with the United States, its decision undoubtedly turned the flames to Russia as the first step in retaliation.

Historically, Finland's conflict with Russia dates back to Finland's independence in 1917. At that time, Lenin had tried to annex Finland to the Soviet Union, which led to a series of territorial disputes and conflicts. The indomitable Finland, which fought fiercely against the Soviet Union in the Winter War, regained it with remarkable resilience despite losing part of its territory, and again cooperated with Germany in the 1941 war to regain lost territory. However, with the defeat of Germany, Finland had to re-sign a peace treaty with the Soviet Union, transferring its territory to the Soviet Union, at great cost.

In this long history, Finland has always clenched its unyielding fist, and although it is a small country, it has a more hostile natural environment than Russia, which has made Russia gain territory and suffer more heavy losses.

After World War II, Finland became a buffer zone between NATO and the Warsaw Pact on the border of the Soviet Union, but with the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Finland decisively joined NATO and became Russia's new adversary on the NATO front. Behind this decision is a strong determination to pose a threat to Russia. It is worth noting that if Ukraine also steps on the NATO tank, Russia will face a new line of defense of 2,295 kilometers, while Finland's border with Russia is 1,340 kilometers long. To this end, Russia has proposed the establishment of the St. Petersburg Military District on the northwestern border and the strengthening of the deployment of various types of military units to ensure the security of the border.

The Great Wave of Firepower: The domineering performance of the Hamas commandos

In Gaza's artillery fire, the Hamas commandos displayed a stunning display of firepower that surpassed the Israeli Army's platoon units. Their arsenal comes not only from Russia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, but also from all kinds imported through secret channels in Libya, including AK series assault rifles and 56-2 submachine guns. This firepower team has always been able to gain the upper hand in skirmishes, putting a lot of pressure on the Israeli army.

The clever use of individual anti-armor**

The Hamas commandos not only rely on their wide coverage of firepower, but also skillfully use a variety of individual anti-armor** to counter Israel's armor superiority. From the Yasin-105 large-caliber rocket launcher to various anti-tank missiles, Hamas is rich in anti-armor equipment. An infantry squad can have two anti-armor**, which gives Hamas greater defensive and counter-attacking capabilities in urban combat. In contrast, the Israeli army relies heavily on semi-automatic rifles, which, while accurate at long range, are somewhat stretched thin in the face of Hamas's fully automatic firepower.

Challenges and dilemmas: Israel's dilemma in urban warfare

In the urban battlefield, the Hamas commandos have demonstrated remarkable tactical flexibility and comprehensiveness of firepower coverage. The Israeli army faces many challenges in this environment, starting with the suppression of Hamas's fully automated firepower. In narrow street battles, the semi-automatic rifles of the Israeli army are clearly not able to compete with Hamas's 56 rush and AK series. At the same time, targeting in urban environments has become extremely difficult, and Hamas's ability to move and attack at random has made it difficult for the Israeli air force and artillery to exploit their superiority. In order to cope with this dilemma, the Israeli army even announced that it needed to confirm the target for another 10 seconds before the infantry, which shows that Hamas's tactical flexibility has brought great trouble to Israel.
