~I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume the Fins have stuff at least that good now?~

IMO, a large part of Finnish armament is of Soviet origin, including small arms, armor and air-defence systems.
I think Finland was among the latest advanced nations to retire Mig-21 too.
They procured scores of East German surplus after German reunification.

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