NATO: Finland’s 155 PsH K9 Moukari SPG

Video December 15, 2024 Hutchins AAron

In 2017, Finland began buying ‘surplus’ Korean K9 Thunder SPGs (Self Propelled Gun). Finland calls it the 155 PsH (Panssari-Haupitsien) K9 Moukari (Sledge-Hammer). In April 2023, Finland became a full member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Dynamic Front is a NATO wargame involving at least 28 countries, taking place across Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania.

I edited U.S. Army/Air Force videos (via First Sergeant Jacob Conner, Private First Class Jolene Cintron & Senior Airman Joshua Fontenot) recorded during NATO’s Dynamic Front wargame for November 2024, on the Ravajärven training area near Rovaniemellä, Finland:

Virginia disses U.S. workers in favor of migrants from Korea!

In January 2023, a Korean food tech company called Armored Fresh announced it was expanding its non-dairy cheese production operation in Fairfax County.

The County of Fairfax, in Virginia, is spending taxpayer funding to intentionally attract migrant workers from Republic of Korea (RoK, aka South Korea). Fairfax County also boasts that it is already home to 60 Korean operations, and has maintained a recruiting office in Seoul since 2004! The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) also admits that its purpose is to convince foreign businesses and workers to settle in the U.S.!

In fact, the Fairfax County Department of Economic Initiatives spends tax dollars assisting foreign workers with things like training, healthcare, family counseling, and immigration/naturalization services!

In January 2018, The Korean Times even published an article telling Koreans to “Build your business among family and friends in Fairfax County”! The article states that “the 2010 U.S. Census shows that Fairfax County is home to more than 60 percent of all Koreans living in the Commonwealth of Virginia.” The article was actually written by Gerald L. Gordon, who at that time was the President of the FCEDA, in other words it was actually an advertisement presented as a news article.

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership boast that Virginia has more than 66-thousand Korean business managers/workers. Realize that five other U.S. states have higher numbers of Korean workers, than Virginia.

Boise based Micron started life in 1978. My first experience with Micron was in the Idaho Army National Guard, in the mid 1990s. Micron was supplying complete computer systems to the military, most of which were used for administrative tasks. Micron made a variety of computer products, but it seems that in the early 2000s company leaders decided to focus on computer memory (microchips, semiconductors), and stopped making complete systems. In the two-thousand-teens, more than a thousand Micron employees in the Boise metro-area were laid-off as Micron focused on taking over global competitors in the memory chip world.

Micron’s Boise operations are now so massive you literally need a vehicle to get around the campus.

Today, Micron is considered to be the leading memory maker in the United States, with operations in more than eight other countries, and it is now considered a national security threat by The People’s Republic of China (communist China).

Cold War Vehicle I-D: How to fuel & arm your USAF F-86 Sabre in Korea

Video April 3, 2023 Hutchins AAron

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

Somewhere in Korea, date not known.

In June 1950, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (north) invaded the Republic of Korea (south) in an attempt to unite the country (something that had been promised at the end of World War Two). The recently created United Nations essentially declared war and created the United Nations Command, invading Korea in September 1950. The United Nations Command still operates in South Korea, today.

Korea, date not known.

Silent U.S. Air Force film (by H.E. Reid), re-arming and re-fueling your F-86 after a mission, Kimpo, Korea, 17DEC1950:

The F-86 used three Browning M3 12.7mm x 99mm (.50 caliber) machine guns.

Date not known.

The first F-86 Sabers to arrive in Korea touched down on Kimpo, 15DEC1950. Three squadrons of F-86As had been sent to Korea to deal with the Soviet MiG-15.

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis: H-A-W-K, Homing All-the Way Killer

Video December 11, 2022 Hutchins AAron

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

Raytheon began developing what would become the MIM (Mobile Interceptor Missile)-23 HAWK (Homing All-the Way Killer) in the early 1950s. Northrop developed the launcher system. The U.S. Army (USA) began using it in 1959, the U.S. Marine Crops (USMC) in 1960.

First-gen HAWK being launched by U.S. Marines from Chu Lai, Viet Nam, 1965.

Between 1971 and 1978, HAWK missiles got improved radar systems, so that they could engage low-altitude aircraft. But that was just the beginning, there were many other HAWK improvement projects that continued up until 1996.

According to the USA (U.S. Army), “The cost per missile is $250,000; per fire unit, $15 million; and per battery, $30 million.”

During the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), Iran adapted the HAWK missile to be carried by their F-14 Tomcats, this was due to supplies of U.S. made Phoenix missiles being cut-off by the Reagan Administration. Iran was one of dozens of countries that used HAWK missiles, and after U.S. sanctions, was able to easily reverse engineer it for their own production and calling their version the Mersad.

In 1994, the USA decided to replace their HAWKS with Patriot missiles, due to the success of the Patriots during Desert Storm. In 2002, the USMC decided to replace their HAWKS with the FIM-92 Stinger.

Video August 24, 2022 Hutchins AAron

On 23AUG2022, the U.S. Army released a video begging soldiers to voluntarily transfer to Republic of Korea (South Korea). The request coincides with the 72nd Anniversary of the U.S. Army’s deployment to Korea, but back then U.S. citizens were forced into the military (drafted, ask your grand parents or great grand parents), or sent to prison for refusing (ask Cassius Clay-Muhammad Ali about that).

Ethiopia invades Korea?

Video April 12, 2022 Hutchins AAron

“We knew there was going to be sacrifice. But this sacrifice was not for nothing. It was for peace and liberty. My friends, they gave their lives for history and for the freedom of human beings…. In America, young people are going to forget the Korean War…”-Melesse Tessema, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Back when the Horn of Africa country of Ethiopia was still ruled by a monarchy, and having survived the Italian occupation during the Second World War, they decided it would be fun to join the new United Nations (UN) in its ‘police action’ in the divided East Asian country of Korea.

U.S. Army photo, 1951.

The Ethiopian troops sent to Korea were called the Kagnew Battalions. It was the first time Ethiopians were involved in combat outside of their country. It was also the first time Ethiopian soldiers encountered snow and ice: “I remember the snow and the cold. We were really suffering in the war because of the cold.”-Asfaw Abebe, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Apparently, of all the UN allied nations volunteering to go to Korea, Ethiopia was the first (besides the U.S.) to send complete battalion sized elements. However, they were equipped with ‘new’ U.S. (World War Two surplus) weapons and vehicles: “We went with Americans to the front line and fought together. From that, we helped a great nation, Korea, to survive…. When you went on patrol, you depended on (U.S.) support for artillery and air support…. The longest fight I saw was Triangle Hill, almost a month we were fighting on that one, you could see bodies rolling down to the bottom. A great fight was done there. We fought continuously day and night.”-Yilma Belachew, Kagnew Battalions veteran

During that ‘police action’ all UN allied vehicles were marked with white stars, U.S. style. U.S. Army silent film, by Sergeant T. Lau, showing Kagnew Battalions inspecting their U.S. taxpayer funded jeeps, August 1951:

According to United Kingdom sources, more than 3-thousand Ethiopians went to Korea, more than 120 were killed, more than 5-hundred were wounded.

This Arirang News video report says the actual number of Ethiopians who fought in Korea is 6-thousand (despite the official number being accepted as 3,520), and that South Korea is sending taxpayer funding to help build infrastructure projects in Ethiopia:

Even communist North Korea does business with Ethiopia, yearly exports hit 15-million U.S. dollars worth in 2012!

U.S. Army silent film, by Sergeant T. Lau, showing Kagnew Battalions moving-out after getting their U.S. taxpayer funded .30 cal M1 Carbines, M1 Garands, BARs, jeeps and Deuce-n-a-Half (2-n-a-half ton) trucks, August 1951:

Korean news sources say the Ethiopians began arriving in April 1951. They took part in 236 battles and claimed victory in every one. They ended the war without one Ethiopian becoming a PoW (prisoner of war).
