SOunds like in places in the article there has been someone´s imagination in wild use.

For instance the area in Karelian isthmus was widely populated by Karelian people. So you don´t go burning their houses and blowing up their bridges months before the war or they cannot live there. Also more northernly there were only forests and lakes and not very many roads either.

I don´t even think we had mines that much to use. Several Finnish soldiers had to fight with their own clothes on in Winter War and just the cocard of the Finnish army put on their hats. They also had brought their own guns...

Finnish AT troops? Well, if the main weapon was the Molotov cocktail then I guess you can call them the " AT troops".

The main problem for the Soviets was that they expected to come into a land that would welcome it. The Soviet strategy also played into our hands as well as the narrow roads and thick forests, and the snow and cold. One of the most important tactical failures must have been the co-operation of infantry and tanks. Once the Finns had shot the Soviet infantry away the Soviet tanks simply withdrew back to the own lines and did not try to push through the lines. Then again our soldiers had nice tricks for any tanks that got though.

But to put it truly simply 1. Wrong tactics 2. Wrong time of year
