They dont specify any temperatures but it has been quite cold here

Doesn't look like it's too cold. Besides, I don't think they're there for the cold, they could go to Alaska
for that, they're there for their experience. Fins have ............ and I believe the Russians
tried to spank them some years ago and failed

If it's really cold, you will see icicles hanging from hair, hats, mustaches and so on and your nostrils will freeze
when you breathe. Ah, good ol' days

What people don't realize is that the cold is also an extremely healthy climate. No viruses, bugs and other things
and very few things that bite and crawl such as fleas n' stuff

Good points there
One key to avoid the spanking is never to underestimate the spanker

I think the Russkies learned this the wrong way

Completely OT, but there's something ... novel ... about watching US Military forces using what appears to be an AK-47 derivative rifle.

they are here to learn and teach new techniques and tactics.. our trainers show them how we do things.. they show how they do..

Yep RK62 (RK=Rynnäkkökivääri=assaultrifle)and i see some very worn finishes on some so they probably dug them up from some war reserve
