Putin's new weapon of war on the ice peaks of the world

There's supposed to be a quarter of all global oil and gas supplies, which is just an additional reason for being in subjection to the world's iceberg.

Because of fossil fuels, we have global warming and the melting of Arctic ice opens up new trade routes between Europe and Asia.

Almost every ship in the middle of Europe and Asia now passes through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the pirates around Africa's Brit. Melting the ice will enable a direct road along the Russian coast, and this part of the world will become even more important.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is aware of this and has already established military bases and military areas responsible for controlling the frozen north.

He has placed 28 ships and 42 submarines, and has also joined the two ground army units specially equipped for war under Syrian winter conditions. HOW can equipment be taken from the 80th Motorized Brigade and the Mit-8 helicopter AMT Sh-VA. This is a special version of Mi-8, dedicated to action in the Arctic, equipped with motor heating and oil pipes, fuels and plumbers. All of this allows the helicopter to maintain a steady operation of up to -60 degrees Celsius.

For the transport of soldiers and land equipment, GAZ-3344-20 has been launched, which can even travel into the water. It can carry 12 soldiers with full equipment or about three tons of cargo, and the maximum range is about 450 kilometers.

The second unit, the 200th independent motorised Brigade, is an elite unit equipped with tanks, multilaunched missiles, and antiaircraft protection systems. More important are T80 tanks, which have been reworked for war in the Arctic and they use a turbine as a motor, while tanks usually use oil engines.

This means that T-80 can leave within a minute in the winter, while oil tanks delay by up to 45 minutes. Of course, all these are rough figures, since many devices can speed up or slow the movement of tanks.

It's important to mention that there's only one tank that uses turbines is M1 Abrams of the United States, but they also have big problems with air filters and relatively should be adjusted often.

Other major disadvantages are that turbines download large amounts of hot air, and when viewed with thermal equipment they are “visible from space” and infantry cannot track tanks due to the risk of burning.

However, Putin again showed that he is willing to think ahead and try to predict his weaknesses, but also his opponents.
