![360 VR Video From 2-8-0 Steam Train Locomotive From 1947 - Pikku-Jumbo - Part 1 of 2
Historical VR Class Tk3 steam locomotive with classic passenger carriages. Traveling from Nokia to Tampere, Finland, easter 2024.
The train is operated by Haapamäen Museoveturiyhdistys ry, Finnish museum train association. More information at https://www.hmvy.fi/.
The Finnish VR Class Tk3 (original classification K5) was a 2-8-0 light freight locomotive. It was the most numerous steam locomotive class in Finland with 161 built. 100 locomotives were constructed between 1927 and 1930, with a further 61 ordered and constructed 1943–53. They were numbered 800–899, 1100–1118, and 1129–1170.

They were designed for a low axle load of just 10.7 tonnes (10.5 long tons; 11.8 short tons). This allowed them to operate on lightly laid secondary lines, but during their many years of service, up to the end of the steam era, they were also widely used on main lines hauling slow passenger trains that made frequent stops.
They were affectionately called Pikku-Jumbo (The Little Jumbo) because of their good performance despite their low weight. They had a low fuel consumption (usually Tk3s used birch wood) and good riding characteristics. They also had good steaming characteristics and were very popular among locomotive crews.
The livery of Tk3 was the same as other VR steam locomotives: dark locomotive green with a black smokebox. When new some locos were lined with thin gold decoration. The gold decorations were not repainted during maintenance, so they were seldom seen.
Two Tk3-type engines were originally supplied by Tampella to Rauma Rautatie as Nos. 9 and 10 (ex-No. 8) in 1935 and 1927 respectively. These engines became Tk3 1117 and 1118 after the private railway was absorbed by the State network in 1950.[1]

Bofors BONUS (Bofors Nutating Shell)is a 155 mm artillery cluster round co-developed and manufactured by Bofors of Sweden and Nexter of France. It was designed to fulfill a long range, indirect fire, top attack requirement against armoured fighting vehicles.
The BONUS base bleed carrier shell contains two submunitions, which descend over the battlefield on winglets and attack targets with explosively formed penetrator warheads.
Mass 44.6 kg unfused
Length 898 mm unfused
Diameter 155 mm
155 BONUS is a 155 mm NATO artillery round that consists of a 47-kilogram (104 lb) heavy artillery projectile containing two autonomous, sensor-fused, fire-and-forget submunitions.
After the submunition is released it opens two winglets. While descending, the submunition rotates, scanning the area below with multi-frequency infrared sensors and LiDAR that compares the detected vehicles with a programmable target database. The submunitions each contain a high-penetration EFP warhead for use against even heavy armoured fighting vehicles like main battle tanks.
When fired from a 52-caliber barrel, a BONUS shell can travel up to 35 km.

K9 Thunder Moukari
In July 2016, the Finnish Ministry of Defence announced that an undisclosed number of used K9s have been selected to be acquired from the Republic of Korea. The acquisition is claimed to be biggest of the decade for the Land Forces, whose both mobile and towed artillery face mass outdating in the 2020s. In February 2017, the Ministry of Defence announced that Finland will acquire 48 used K9s over a period of seven years starting in 2018, with conscript training on the equipment commencing in 2019. In November 2022 Finland announced to buy 48 more K9s. After delivery of all weapons Finland will have 96 K9 SPGs.
The K9 Thunder is a South Korean self-propelled 155 mm howitzer developed by Samsung Techwin for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and now manufactured by Hanwha Land Systems. It was developed to supplement and then replace the K55 self-propelled howitzers in South Korean service.
K9 is an indigenous system of an all-welded steel armour construction which is rated to withstand 14.5 mm armour piercing rounds, 152 mm shell fragments, and anti-personnel mines.

Armoured Mortar Vehicle XA-361-AMOS
AMOS is a mortar system used by readiness brigades, introduced into service in the Finnish Defence Forces in 2013. Its use bases on a twin-barrelled vehicle making up an autonomous fire unit. Fire units may be used together in the main effort area or by distributing fire support to all fighting troops as necessary. AMOS is capable of firing a total of eight grenades hitting their target simultaneously using the multiple-round simultaneous impact principle. The system can open fire in less than 30 seconds and leave firing position in under 10 seconds after firing.
Target acquisition on AMOS is based on inertia and GPS positioning, and digital charts and an electronic firing control system are used in firing control.

A Military Vehicle Needs Transport Capability, Protection and Cross-Country Capability
The mobility of modern warfare and the logistical need to transport large amounts of materiel on the battlefield place many demands on vehicles of the Finnish Defence Forces. Transportation vehicles must have a good load-bearing capacity and the ability to transport passengers in demanding terrain. Additionally, the vehicles must offer the troops and transported goods protection against fire and other threats on the battlefield. Furthermore, off-road capable vehicles have an important role as transportation and weapon platforms of various weapons systems.
World-class mortars have been manufactured in Finland since 1933. They have also found their way onto international markets. Mortars such as the 120KRH92, which supports infantry combat operations , continue to be in active use by the Finnish Defence Forces. However, traditional mortars are becoming defendants. If the enemy has counter-radars capable of pinpointing the location of the mortar, the mortar crew can expect accurate counter-fire to be directed at its own firing position. Escaping from such counter-fire is hard for a traditional mortar platoon. A simple solution is to mount the mortar on the chassis of a vehicle, on the floor. This will add improved mobility. Furthermore, if the vehicle is armoured and the mortar is mounted on a turret and equipped with a fire control system, the weapon system will have high performance in the modern battlefield.
A mortar mounted on a vehicle capable of manoeuvring through rough terrain enables the vehicle to find a firing position quickly. It takes only 30 seconds for the vehicle to open fire after stopping. Similarly, after it finishes firing the vehicle can leave the firing position in just ten seconds. This is known as “shoot and scoot“. The mortar receives targeting information through the integrated communication system of the platform. The system determines its position with the aid of a GPS system, or its own inertia system. The fact that the mortar is mounted on a turret enables it to select its targets from a full 360 degree traverse and within a range of approximately ten kilometres. The elevation is -3/+85 degrees.
