  • NATO forces need to be able to operate in any environment and in any weather. That’s why UK soldiers have been conducting cold weather training in Estonia, where temperatures can drop as low as minus 25 degrees Celsius. During Exercise Winter Camp, troops practised in deep snow and freezing conditions. UK troops also took part in a three-day cold weather operations course, learning how to build shelters and survive in conditions well below freezing - including a jump into icy water.
    The UK troops, from the 5 RIFLES infantry battalion, are serving in NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence (eFP) Battlegroup in Estonia. All NATO eFP Battlegroup Estonia training for Winter Camp was conducted in line with Estonian national COVID-19 policy. The Battlegroup is currently operating as a ‘bubble’ in order to achieve maximum output from this training, while protecting personnel.
    Exercise Winter Camp 2021 ran from 1 until 12 February.

      Dunno. In South Finland winters are not as cold as in North Finland. Stands to reason.

      Estonia is Still south of Finland and Canada goes further north than Finland, Canada is huge

      Due to warm Golf stream humidity in Estonia is higher, thus lesser cold feels colder than in Canada. Also landscape is very low compared to sea level, thus atmospheric pressure is higher, making it also feel colder.
      Convectional heat is exchanging more rapidly, to be more precise.

    I am shocked that when they are hiking in that snow-which I've done many times, they aren't either on skis or snowshoes! It's like walking in deep sand, it makes you way too tired too fast. That's how the Finns stopped the Russians in the winter war and the Russians pursue the Germans out of the Soviet Union in winter fighting.
