Not sure you die from hypothermia when it's 43 out.

It's not instant, but a gradual, constant exposure thing.

If you don't have proper clothing, shelter, sleep and food, it can absolutely happen.



Ever felt a dry cold? It's waaay better than a wet cold. ( for instance, 49 degrees here when still humid/wet is way colder feel vs dry 30 degrees )

I'll bet it's at or below freezing at night though. And if it's windy? brrr.

Just a bunch of bodies that won't be identified so that russia doesn't have to pay their families. Hell, they already gave them a goat, what more could they want?

Technically they aren't in the Russian Army. They're mercenaries in a private Army.

And it's wet and they're probably not getting enough calories for their bodies to keep their internal temps from dropping.

Nov and December are not the "freezing" months in Ukraine. January & February are.

I can believe it. It's worse being out in the Midwest this time of the year then a "warm" day in January. The humidity is a lot higher, and the snow is "wet". I don't know how to really describe this unless you lived in it. In the winter snow is very dry, and kind of dissolves into this weird dust.

A cold day in deep winter is still worse. It's wild to shovel snow while your eyes have this weird tingling feeling, and your nose is running from the cold.

This is simply a case of that guy trying to make his point that Russians are going to have a rough winter. Those people didn't die from hypothermia. Now if you look at dontesk weather forecast they're going to have a rough go of it in 10-14 days when the temps drop ~20 degrees. Even then I'm going to guess they have access to some sort of shelter and a way to start a fire.

Most cases occur in air temperatures of 30 to 50 degrees. But people can succumb to overexposure even at 60 or 70 degrees. This is especially true when it is windy, because wind can carry away more heat than the body can generate, or when people get wet or land in water, because cold water accelerates heat loss 25-fold.

Something about driving the Nazis out of Ukraine?

You cannot really think soldiers on the front (or anywhere in active area of operations) are going to start a fire?
