“IMO, a large part of Finnish armament is of Soviet origin, including small arms, armor and air-defence systems.”

The Finns mostly fly F/A-18 Hornets now. No MiGs.

Is there any contradiction to my post? Yes, plenty of newer Western systems too.

Well, if you consider the F/A-18 Hornets to be part of the Finnish “air defence system” then, yes. They are certainly not of “Soviet origin.”
