This article is so riddled with inaccuracies and other issues, and the topic is already better covered elsewhere, that this entire article should just be deleted. The claims of aid are unsourced and exaggerated. E.g. the Swedish military did not donate the Finns 135.4k rifles, rather the Finns purchased 86.9k rifles from Sweden during the Winter War, 31k of which were returned to Sweden in the spring of 1940 after the Winter War. The remaining 48.5k rifles are simply made up in this context (I suspect it may include later purchases made by Finland during the 1940-44 period). Almost all of the materiel or materiel-related "aid" Sweden gave to Finland was purchased by the Finns with money or credit. The sources the citations are referring to are missing, and the "strength" table is also just plain wrong: the SFK had 2.6k men on the front, arriving there starting 29.2.1940, in other words two weeks before the end of the war, not 10,397 men. I have no idea what the supposed 13 Finnish tanks are supposed to be. And so on. Honestly just delete this mess. FulmenTheFinn (talk) 19:14, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
