Hi Folks,
As my wife is Finnish, I've always been interested in the Winter War and related conflicts from World War II.
So, as a fun exercise, I'm positing the air conflict forward in time to create some modern-day scenarios.
The initial "spark" to set the conflict afire seems fairly easy to achieve.
Russia always enjoys "buzzing" US and NATO reconnaissance aircraft, so imagining a Russian intercept of a P-8A that escalates into shooting between Russian and Finnish aircraft - responding to assist a P-8A that was damaged in a collision from a "buzz gone bad" - is not too challenging.
That would involve Finnish F/A-18Cs and Russian Su-27s of MIG-29s.
Thoughts?
