Winter camo. Nets are a bitch to work with when you wear thick gloves.

How close are we talking? Last time they made an interview at the border while the exercise was 500km away.

A woopsie. That's a CV90 with little more than the barrel peaking up from the lake. Guess that ice wasn't as thick as it looked like.

I'll check. Distances are a bastard up there, with roads following the fjords. What's a day of driving is a few minutes in an F-16.

Still looking for that distance number. Meanwhile, here's another map. It shows how the Finnish border is real close, while the Russian one is to the far right.

Got to give it to the Russians, they have good photographers.

Look like we have a few G3A3 left in the ranks after all.

Behave, this exercise takes place every year in the same place

>>33270614

Nope. It is an annual exercise and it happens in Norway, but the location varies a lot. This one is the closest to Russia yet.

>>33270561
This pic is really old though, like 2012.

>>33270566
1; ancient picture
2: it shows people training for deployment to ISAF/Afghanistan, not Viking
3: gear indicates 2009-2010

Why all these thumbnail pics, what a shitty thread when you can just google for Joint Viking 2017 and find them higher res.

Is the internet so slow up there?

The pics are all from articles covering the exercise. Some of the articles were in Russian, which I can't read. Either way I posted the pics in good faith. Feel free to correct the pics, or post better ones.

Final one.

I noticed afterwards that there's an old signal pistol on the Norwegian's chest. Looks like a pre war German 27mm Leughtpistole. I had no idea we were still using those.

Dammit, man! My desire for that sweet snow MarPat has been ressurected.
