Force ratios on the Karelian Isthmus as of June 9, 1944:

Soviet: 13th Army +Baltic Fleet approx. 1300 aircraft ready for service.

Finnish: LeR 3 (48 fighters) + LeR 4 (53 bombers) =101 aircraft.

Soviet superiority approx. 13:1. With this superiority, competent personnel competently led would have crushed the opponent in a few days. This was not achieved = incompetent personnel led by incompetents.
