The Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat published a scenario of war between Russia and Finland. The action plan was prepared for publication by military experts, who provided details of military operations.
"A Russian cruise missile flies along the coast of the Gulf of Finland at a low altitude, below the range of Finnish radar. Near Porvoo the computer-guided system turns the accelerator rocket on. The missile rises to an altitude of about 200 metres, takes its course, and finally hits the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) compound in Pasila, in Helsinki", thus the begins Russian attack on peaceful Finland.
Television and radio broadcasts were cut off in Finland and a chaos begins. Authorities were trying to bring the situation under control.
"By decree of the President, martial law was proclaimed. The state restricts the freedom of assembly and movement, as well as political and economic activities. Seizures private property and censorship become possible", newspaper writes.
Russian jet fighters rush to Helsinki region at a supersonic speed and suffer their first losses in dogfights with Finnish Hornets. The Defense Forces moved the country's leaders to safety and called reservists.
"On the Karelian Isthmus, Russia's motorized army charges ahead with a force in the tens of thousands, with artillery and air support. The aim is to reach the Finnish capital in two days. However, the forward movement of the forces stops east of the Kymi River, when the Russians confront the Finnish readiness brigades concentrated in the area", the Finish paper writes.
No fixed front lines were formed, and Pasi armored personnel carriers move fighters from one place to another. Russia brings hundreds of tanks from the Urals. Their weaponry can include infamous depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, the paper said. "Military hospitals are overcrowded.
Highways are filled refugees heading for summer cottages and Sweden", the Finish paper says.
Russians aggressors drop paratroopers at key locations in Helsinki region. Their aim is to disrupt the supply of electricity, water, and food.
"The war is ultimately decided in the air. The other side is hugely overpowering. Russia's air force has more than 1,200 jet fighters, and over 700 fighter-bombers, while Finland has just over 100 fighters - 62 Hornets and 49 Hawks", the paper writes.
Russia does not get the quick victory that it had hoped for as Finland gets plenty of diplomatic support from around the world.
It is to be mentioned that is not for the first time when Russia attacks peaceful freedom-loving Finland.
On November 30, 1939, 3 months after the start of the Second World War, Russian invaders attacked neutral Finland. The war of the Russian aggressor against the Finnish people continued until March 13, 1940, when the government was forced to sign a Peace Treaty in Moscow and give Russia Finnish lands, which Russia is still holding shamelessly by force.
Russia robbed Finland of 11% of its territory, it were the best lands, and 30% of economic assets.
The Russian aggressor hastened to make a peace with Finland in fear of Anglo-French expeditionary forces which were to be sent to northern Scandinavia to help the country.
The Russian initial goal was to seize the whole Finland and to make Finns Russian slaves.
