And one specialty: the 12,7 mm VKT machine gun was sometimes carried in the gun pod in the 80s. Cheers, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paramedic Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Cool. Might have to build myself a Finnish Hawk one day.. The ADEN pod, is it the same as the Swedish FFV pod for the Sk 60B/C and the AJS 37 or some Finnish design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari Lumppio Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Paramedic said: The ADEN pod, is Hello! It is the British Aden pod. In the early period (~up to 1991 or so) the Finnish half inch VKT mg (see Antti's post) was installed in it as an alternative. Cheaper ammunition etc. 30 mm Aden if in QRA. We loaded it once for a scramble at Kauhava AFB while I was there. Cheers, Kari Edited December 19, 2020 by Kari Lumppio 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
