Military equipment was much simpler and could be produced much more rapidly back then. The sophisticated stuff with which our military currently is armed has much longer lead times for production. So we’d have a massive number of universal conscripts, but without the equipment necessary for them to contribute to the war effort.

Many reserves need to be created as drone units. Drones should become the new “rifle”. They are just as important as rifles in modern warfare, and are very suited to dispersed fighting, as seen in the Ukraine war’s early days.

Relatively small drones can be enormous force multipliers for an armed civilian population.

Drone operators can be useful at home or abroad. Drone operators should be armed with easily concealed firearms, so they can avoid being targets when off duty.

All of this should be connected to communications which will be effective if grid power is down, such as with encrypted Starlink capability.

Finland-all you need to do is watch the movie “Sisu”. Says it all. The sequel is expected to come out in November. Looking forward to seeing it.

Just think of the Clint Eastwood flicks in the 70’s-nostalgic.
