Troops from the UK’s 19th Regiment Royal Artillery are struggling to survive in Finland’s -15°C temperatures. But then… enter the Russians. Watch how they take the freezing temperatures in their stride like they’re nothing! Who’s really cut out for Arctic conditions?
One of the British officers who participated in artillery drills in Finland described the deployment in subzero conditions as “quite a culture shock to a lot of our personnel.”
For the Russian troops seen in this video, however, operating in freezing cold and amid the snow is just another day on the job.
