New terrain as a playground has been an essential part of FDF Mod. There were East Border and Rukajärvi for OFP. There was Podaga for Armed Assault. Of course we need something now, too.

Podagorsk is an extended version of Podaga. For latest screenshots, there is a huge 50 MB rar archive. Invidual screenshots will be posted at both our own and BIS forums.

NHIndustries NH90 helicopter hovers above the treeline during a landing exercise. NH90 is a state of the art aircraft which has recently entered service across Europe. Finland has chosen the SAR (search and rescue) variant and first helicopters have been in service since 2008.

The legendary British Land Rover brand entered FDF service in 2000. Land Rover 5D Defender seen here is a four wheel drive cross-country vehicle that is used for troop and equipment transport. It was purchased to replace the aging Toyota Land Cruisers and Soviet UAZ utility vehicles.

This beast from Germany touched the Finnish soil for the first time in April 2003. Total of 124 new Leopard main battle tanks replaced old T-72s giving a great amount of performance compared to its old Soviet rival. The chobham-layered 55 000 kg steel monster is equipped with a hard-biting 120mm Rheinmetall smoothbore main gun and two 7.62×51mm MG 3 machine guns.

The workhorse of the Finnish army, XA-180 armored personnel carrier, is seen here on a forest road during trials. XA-180 entered service in 1983 and is operated not only by Finland but also by other nations in numerous peacekeeping operations.

The vehicle is fully amphibious and can carry two infantry squads. Several variants have been developed along the years, culminating in the Advanced Modular Vehicle (AMV) design.

A convoy of Scania R500 8×4 trucks parked beside a gravel road with ammo truck in the front followed by repair and refuel variants. 192 Finnish-built general purpose trucks were recently purchased by FDF after EU-wide contract competition was won by Scan-Auto Finland Ltd.

Scania trucks will phase out various outdated trucks such as Soviet-built ZILs.

With these news FDFmod has jumped on the ARMA 2 bandvagon.

Hello again, guys. Summer has turned to autumn and new breeze is blowing in my boring life too. First, I’d like to share with you some old snapshots from early 90s when I had just finished high school and made a holiday trip to nice little island called Pogada, located near United Sahrani. Communist regime had just been overthrown and people were enthusiastic and even naive about the prospects of capitalism. Now you may ask why these old photos?

Anyway, I’m off soon and maybe not able to update my blog for some time since internet connections are not my main concern when I get there. Wish me luck guys…CU.
