Paavali Halonen Paavali Halonen was a farmer and settler in Finnish Lappland and a fabled warlord during Russo - Swedish War ( 1590 – 1595 ) . King Gustav I promoted Finnish settlement beyond the Russian border of the realm , by promising taxation reliefs to the settlers . This was in order for the king to be able to have claims for the region . The Russian border was then defined by the Treaty of Nöteborg . This caused tensions with Russia , and during Russo - Swedish War , Finnish settlements in northern Ostrobothnia were often destroyed by East Karelia n guerrillas . Life of Paavali Halonen belongs to this time . He has been a historical person , although most of the knowledge about him is only folklore . " Halonen " is a Savonian surname and Paavali Halonen was the first permanent and Finnish settler inhabitant of Kemijärvi . Local folklore has preserved stories about Paavali Halonen as one of the guerrilla chiefs , the most famous of them being Pekka Vesainen . Halonen was born in Muhos and led a vengeance raid to Kola and Kandalaksha and took part in attempt to capture fort of Kola with other Finnish chiefs , Vilmi and Kauppi from Kemi . East Karelians ( Russians ) offered peace and invited Finnish chiefs to the town for drinking . They were captured by Russians , but Paavali Halonen was suspicious and refused the offer . Thus he saved his life and returned to home . According to the stories he first discovered Kemijärvi then , while escaping from Russia through the wilderness . Later he moved there with his family . Some stories also tell about Halonen saving his wife from East Karelians . As the first settlers moved to Kemijärvi , the area wasn ' t inhabited by the Sami people anymore . The first tax record ( " maakirja " ) including Kemijärvi village is from 1631 . Then the householder of the Halonen ' s farm was Paavo Paavonpoika ( " Paavo ' s son " ) Halonen , who probably was the son of the first inhabitant . His place of residence is known today as " Halosenniemi " . Large part of the population in North East Lapland today can trace their ancestry back to he sons of Paavali Halonen .

Type 021 - class missile boat China first received a single unit of Soviet in January 1965 , and four more in 1966 through 1967 and the last two in 1968 . Eventually the Hudong Shipyard built the Chinese version as Type 021 - class missile boat at a rate of ten boats per year with several different versions . Although majority of this class is being transferred to reserve , several dozens remain active and these active units are being rearmed with C - 101 supersonic anti - ship missile s . These boats are effectively used in swarm missile attacks . " Huangfeng " class . " Huangfeng " - class missile boat is the direct Chinese copy of Soviet Osa - class missile boat , and around 130 were built , including exported units . This class consists of several versions with different armament . Most are armed with twin 25 mm guns , while some are armed with a single AK - 230 gun mount . The majority lack the fire control radars but some do have a radar radome aft ( between the two missile launchers ) . The major improvement of the " Huangfeng " class over the original Soviet " Osa - I " class is that the Chinese engine , which is the improvement of the original Soviet M503A diesel engine has been so efficient that the range of the boat is more than doubled without significant proportional increase of fuel consumption . However , due to the limited size of the boat , the actual endurance is not drastically increased because there is not enough extra space to store additional provisions needed for the longer endurance . Other improvements over the original Soviet " Osa - I " class included a much improved fire extinguishing system and life support system . Hola class . A single unit of Type 021 without the gun is called " Hola " - class missile boat . The " Hola " - class missile boat is slightly larger than the " Huangfeng " class , with length increased to more than . The boat has an additional radar radome that is also onboard many " Huangfeng " class boats and there is an additional pair of missile launchers added , but this pair can be readily removed when needed . The mast is also redesigned so that it can be folded down when entering the protective cave in the mountains . The design is obviously more successful than the " Homa " class and despite its age , the " Hola " - class boat remains in active service like a few of its " Huangfeng " class cousins . This class is also known as " Hela " class . " Houdong " class . " Houdong " - class missile boat is the newest upgrade of the Type 021 - class missile boat . The new boat is modified to carry C - 801 / 802 / 803 while retaining the hull of the original Type 021 . Although the design was successful , more capable missile boats such as the " Houxing " - class missile boat were already becoming available , so the " Houdong " class was geared for export , with Iran being the first customer and the one in Chinese inventory is used for training foreign crews , and as a demonstrator to other potential customers , as well as other test and trial purposes .
