This is a really questionable number unless there is a lot of surplus of uniforms that they kept around.

The total number of CF personnel is under 100,000. Everyone was only issued 2 or 3 sets of winter gear.

It absolutely must be regular civilian clothing just by quantity.

Additionally:
Almost assuredly this is commercial off the shelf products too, probably from China.
Canada does not have the manufacturing capacity to supply that amount of gear and in that period of time.
Only idiots that keeps LOL with their emoji would dismiss what you wrote when none of these folks have been, or living in Canada. Side note: when the PM of Canada was then P.M. Stephen Harper his government spent a considerable amount of money on the military or at least what purported to be announced. I had the opportunity to speak to active duty military officers (Captain, Major) who were involved with Army Cadet program. I asked them if they were happy, satisfied that they are now being funded properly as compared to the prior administration. They gave me a look like I was a gullible sheep for actually believing what the political machinery said along with the ignorant media. They told me flat out that there's not enough ammunition, and other essential items for the Canadian military and the armed forces aren't geared to fight big battles with the amount of training, deployment, the wear and tear on their equipments are beyond the scope of what the forces then could endure. The money given was enough to supply what's being utilized not nearly enough or sufficient to actually invest into a proper force that their political masters demand of the military.

Some folks here are head scratching comedians all because their favored western pet is being bombed like they have never been bombed before. The civilians who were cheering that a civilian bridge was bombed without any hint of irony must now realize that they're not out if reach from the Russian military reach. They're lucky that NATO wasn't the one conducting this war or so-called SMO, otherwise they would have been bombed out of electricity, drinking water, bombed hospitals, churches, mosques, schools, and other key infrastructures deemed military dual use by American led NATO.

What is it that you're saying that Ukrainians that have lived in Ukraine all of their lives are not used to their own winter? Remember they are fighting in Ukraine not the cold parts of Russia. Besides I think you forgot the invasion began Feb 24th when Russia had all their best equipment and best troops before getting routed from Kyiv, Kharkiv city and other parts of the north. At the time only weapons Ukraine had were NLAWS, JAVs and stinger missiles.
when there is no hot water and heat. very few survive except for those are used to much colder weather in natural environment.
some of the effective airstrikes around Latakia mountains in Syria were done in colder weather. any signature can create vulnerability.
Feb 24 is not a attack day. otherwise those cruise missile will have turn off the lights on that day.

Are we talking about civilians or frontline troops? Frontline troops don't have the luxuries of hot water and heat from the states infrastructure.

civilians will abandon the areas. so more responsibility on troops for logistics and medical.

this was written before Russia put advance aircraft in Syria.
This winter the opposition has not been able to take advantage of the weather conditions the way it has in previous years. In past years, rain, fog and low temperatures hindered the government’s ability to fly and bomb opposition-held territory. However, these weather conditions do not prevent the advanced Russian aircraft from shelling the opposition.

A serviceman of the Russian Airborne Forces spoke about the episode of the battle with the liquidation of the tank breakthrough of the Ukrainian army. As reported, 6 tanks and more than 10 units of other armored and automotive vehicles were destroyed.


The Russian crew of the T-72B3 tank of the 2016 model, inspected the wrecked foreign-made T-72 tank of Ukraine.


The newest Russian battle tank T-14 "Armata" was noticed at the training ground of the Kazan Tank Command School. There has been unconfirmed information that the Russian army may use about nine T-14 Armata tanks in Ukraine to test their combat systems in real combat. To date, it is not known exactly how many T-14 Armata tanks the Russian army has, according to some sources, from 21 to 132, judging by the contracts and agreements that were reported in the media.


The FV104 Samaritan armored personnel carrier appeared in the Ukrainian army, this is an armored ambulance. The armored car was developed 46 years ago in England and is considered rare, only 100 pieces were produced. The transporter was developed on the basis of the British FV101 Scorpion tank and has a crew of 2 people. The vehicle can transport 4 wounded on stretchers and 2 medics. The vehicle has no weapons. The 190 horsepower engine is installed in the front right side of the hull. The maximum speed on the highway is 72 km / h, the cruising range is 480 km.

It’s okay, I’m not hurt. He probably doesn’t believe me because I don’t have a source. Here is my source:

In all honesty though, not sure I trust the guy. I think he’s a NATO stooge who talks a lot of s**t on forums…

Hey wait a minute what's the big idea here... are the Russians/FSB trying to make a jerk out of me?

That truck on that x-ray is missing an axel I may be dumb but I can easily count up to 20 if I use my feet.

And why would the FSB want to make themselves and Russians look bad by saying, yeah trucksy went through x-ray and showed bombas but still was ok to let go. :confused:

Of course you did not bother reading the comments on that flamebait Twitter post and had to reproduce it here on the forum.
