Finland reinforces the Armed Forces River Fleet to protect the bridgehead in the Krynki - Forbes

Romania President Klaus Johannis said she supports the transfer of Finnish boats through Romania. It is still unknown how many boats will be transferred to the Finns and what type. But it is obvious that the Armed Forces can strengthen the supply lines across the Dnieper to the Left Bank Village of Krynka, where a narrow bridgehead has been kept since October.

The Navy of Finland has many armored personnel: a dozen 32-ton Jehus, 38 Jurmos weighing 14 tons (in addition, 17 more built) and about 20 Uiskos weighing 10 tons. These vessels transport and deliver troops through the long coastline of Finland. Most likely, Ukraine will be transferred to UISKOS. These boats for several decades, the Finnish army has replaced them with new Jehus and Jurmos.

In Uiskos, although there is a Kevlava tab that helps to stop the fire from small arms, armor still stretches only along the boats. Unlike Jehus and Jurmos with closed passenger salons, the outdated Uiskos has an open top - hence the vulnerability to the drones. Radio -headers that use the Armed Forces against the enemy drones on the right bank of the Dnieper are probably the best protection against drones.

But armor protection also will not hurt, so Ukraine sought to receive any armored vehicles from the allies. A recent Swedish assistance package for $ 680 million contained 30 river boats, including 10 armored CB90. According to the retired US Navy officer Pagano, a 10 CB90 squadron can plant a mouth of 200 marines "with a certain degree of survival of both the ship and the troops. " Jehu or Jurmo is similar to CB90; Open Uisko - no.
