So, how hard are Strykers gonna fail against Finnish reservists that are riding unmodernized MTLB's?

Finland is going to need a ton of combat cock to win that one. Better put those conscripts to work Pekka.
Consripts absolutely destroyed Norwegian professional soldiers during winter.
So how based are the Finnish? I talked to a previous sf asl that retired due to a stroke. He always described themselves in such a based way that I always assumed that every Finish is drunk but could do much more than what I could do. (Later supported by the Spurdo comics he introduced me to.)

If someone didn't already know, the point of the exercise is to simulate how Strykers would fare against Russians troops.
It's not Finland vs USA as the layouts have been made to mimic Russian mechanized infantry.

My own experience visiting Finland twice is that they are all kinda retarded drunks, but stupidly capable anyway. Except the fags in Helsinki. Helsinki has almost all of Finland's hugbox, safe-space, gender fluids autists.

No, the point of this exercise is to test this years freshly trained conscript unit(s) in action, its just a normal bi-yearly thing they do. IIRC it's usually conscripts vs mixed unit formed from professional FDF personnel and reservists. What's different this year is that a tiny burger Stryker unit is taking part as well forming something like 10% of that later grouping.
Interoperability between Finnish units and the lard truckers gets tested, but they are doing the simulated fighting not against "mimic Russian mechanized infantry", but against typical Finnish MTTSTOS ("Motorized Battle Group", i.e Jaegers on MTLB's w/ some heavy supporting elements)
from what i have understanded an american soldier can be put to duty with such little expirience as 3 months?
ofcourse u can't rly compare veterans and conscripts but the finnish system is rather strong seeing that 40% of the people train 9months or moore
and the armored divisions of FDF are very similar to the russian layout of mechanisised divisions
actualy finland excelss on anti-armor, artillery and engineer fields
and to be stereotypic finn i am drunk whilst writing this

>how hard are strykers gonna fail
Well if its the 2,000 finns vs the 130 americans, probably pretty hard.

you can write, but apparently cant read.

What am I not reading?

Its just a small supporting stryker element.
How do you "fail" this?
Furthermore, strykers are stationed in alaska so i dont think cold will be an issue.
