The sentry put on his winter coat and boots.

Cold prevention and preparation

With the arrival of beginning of spring, it's time to bid farewell to winter. And this winter's cold, it seems, has not passed, and the winter clothes have not faded. Winter clothes are "heroes" who can survive this cold winter. Fighting in cold weather requires accurate and decisive decisions, and low temperature makes the smallest mistakes fatal. Extreme cold can numb people's brains and bodies, and strong winds can freeze exposed bodies in a few minutes or even seconds. All this determines that the military camp should spend the winter, and cold prevention is the key. Clothing should be able to resist low temperature, strong wind and humidity, wear and cold. Let's see how warm the winter clothes in these countries are.

Most Russian soldiers are still equipped with heavy winter clothes. In the extremely cold region of Novosibirsk, soldiers only show two eyes, and the exhaled water vapor instantly condenses into frost and stays on the clothes around their noses.

Compared with neighboring Russia, Ukraine's winter clothes are fully armed. As the saying goes, "You only show your eyes? We don't even show our eyes! "

The winter clothes of the Japanese Self-Defense Force are all white from head to toe, as if they have learned all the skills of chameleon and want to blend in with the cold snow.

Starting from 1960, the US military began to study the weight reduction of winter clothes, and took the lead in using polyester wadding instead of coarse cashmere as a warm-keeping material in winter clothes.

Canada is as cold as Russia, so soldiers in winter training in Canada wear heavy clothes. They train in the vast snowfield in winter and are fully protected, with only two eyes exposed for visual use.

Korean soldiers like to take off their clothes during winter training, as if all warm winter clothes are floating clouds. They don't wear down jackets, don't wear warm clothes, and are shirtless. It seems that they can take off their clothes and become strong in such a cold winter.

The South Korean military has developed military winter clothes that can be worn at MINUS 40 degrees.

According to the South Korean media 2013165438+10/8, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense said that the cold winter is coming and the fighting environment on the Korean Peninsula is relatively bad. It is planned to develop a new type of cold-proof clothing that can maintain the body temperature at MINUS 40℃ in 20 16.

It is reported that this new type of cold-proof clothing is mainly used for military materials, and it can still maintain certain thermal insulation and moisture-proof permeability under cold and heavy snow conditions. The South Korean military's goal in developing this kind of winter clothes is to improve the thermal performance and reduce the weight by 5%. It is reported that the South Korean military will invest about 65.438+0.4 billion won (about 80.565438+0.7 million yuan) in the research and development of cold-proof clothes, and will equip the whole Korean army.
