81 years ago today the Winter War between Finland and Soviet Union ended. Finland paid heavily for the peace, but the sacrifice saved the nation from a genocide in Stalin's hands.

Saving a nation takes everyone's effort. Men and women put their hearts into saving Finland from the Soviet hordes.

80 years ago in 1939 the Finnish nation underwent it's greatest crucible when the USSR attempted to invade the democratic peaceful nation.

I will collect my tweets on the #WinterWar80 into this thread for an easy walkthrough of the 105 days of war, that broke out on Nov 30th.

The massive #Vostok2018 starts on 9.11.

The drill will pitch the Russian Easter Military District and the Pacific Fleet against the Central Military District and the Northern Fleet.

Drill area will stretch from #Finland to #China.

Western and Southern MDs shouldn't take part

The same #Russian T-62MV without ERA, that was spotted on a train at Kamensk Shakhtinsky on 31.8 was unloaded before noon 1.9 and spotted heading towards #Ukraine on a trailer.

Same road also showed several other Russian military convoys.

Re-capping an intensive day by #Russian armed forces:
- Central and Eastern Military Districts were fully alarmed into a snap drill
- 2500 Spetsnatz deployed close to #Ukraine
- Military medical units deployed close to Ukraine
- 40 000 troops will be loaded to trains in East
1/2
- Novorossiysk naval base alerted and swept for mines
- Various communication and command formations deployed
- Special Recon unit prepared for an airdrop in the Karelia
- Unknown number of central Military district units loaded to trains
- Large Chinese force in Russia. 2/3
And the cherry on the top? DNR and LNR mercenaries are mobilizing the population in the occupied Donetsk.

Should we be worried?
