[QUOTE="an liathroid beag, post: 7148939, member: 18052"] [B]First General Himar came and now General Winter is coming to help the Ukrainians[/B] Shocking videos that have circulated online in recent weeks tell a tragic story. The videos, shot by the Ukrainian brigades’ hovering drones, depict Russians in the late stages of hypothermia, so cold and sick that they barely react when the drones drop lethal improvised bombs on them. Thomas Theiner, an ex-soldier who currently is a filmmaker in Kyiv, [URL='https://twitter.com/noclador/status/1595924661342294019']predicted[/URL] winter “would kill more Russian soldiers than Ukraine ever could.” He may have been right.

Deep mud mires armored vehicles. Daytime temperatures hover around freezing and during the night they dip closer to zero degrees Fahrenheit. With preparation, sound leadership and reliable logistics, the conditions are survivable. Soldiers bundle up, sleep in roofed, heated trenches with floors, frequently change their wet socks and eat twice as much as they would on warm days.
