Martti was a Finnish Colonel, Deputy Chief of Defence Intelligence, Professor of Practice at the University of Jyväskylä, Master in Russian Language and Literature, Bachelor in Arabic Language,
He was a person with extensive knowledge of Russia, who appreciated the Russian language and culture but despised the current leadership. Martti unfortunately died too early from cancer last year.

Interested? Find the podcast on Spotify or Apple or where ever. On the internet!
Actually no such thing as an "ex" pilot😉
So we hear people are interested in the F35!
This is our podcast episode from last summer with an ex-pilot, callsign Lurch, where he walks us through the ins and outs of the F35! 💪

Should have been something the Finnish Air Force actually does or will fly someday but still can’t wait to see this series!

Really enjoyed the words from @PMBreedlove and all the others. Got right to the core of western security. Also great to see my friend @AGardberg again!
#KouvolaSecurityConference @PMBreedlove gives perspective on #Russia, from the fall of the Iron curtain to today. #Nato and the West rewarded Russia's bad behaviour in 2008 and 2014. If rewarded again and West failing to support #Ukraine, Russia will continue. #Deterrence
