Default Re: Finnish OOB 9.0 corrections

I found the probable source of AMOS + STRIX unit found in earlier OOBs.

In early 2006 Panssari-lehti ("Armour Magazine") wrote that each AMOS would be equipped with 4 STRIX rounds. However, since that things have progressed and IM/CM is confidential so it may or may not have materialized, probably never came to use.

About T-72 APFSDS ammunition I contacted Cpt Mika Mäenpää from Panssariprikaati and according to his recollection nothing newer than 3BM-17 or 3BM-15 ("125mm D81T 75/72") was never received to Finland. Also according to his knowledge, there is no public record apart from the old copies of Panssari-lehti mentioned earlier.
