Big deal, a little cold never bothered the Russians. Here in Calgary, it is -31C right now (-24F) and will be -35C (-31F) tomorrow. And we’re fine - just dress in layers.

—”Big deal, a little cold never bothered the Russians.”

You may want to review the Winter War with Finland.
Another Special Military Operation (3 months, 1 week and 6 days)
Russia lost 170,000 dead or missing.
188,671–207,538 wounded or sick. (including at least 61,506 sick or frostbitten.)

“General Frost is a myth created and amplified by the Russian state since the 19th century. As a person, who served in the Soviet Army, I can tell you that nature favors nobody and the Russian army has never had special training or was prepared for winter warfare,” Hrabsky said.
