More Russian Troops Are Marching Out Alone And In Penguin Ponchos

The ponchos are hard to see out of, but may work as thermal camouflage

For the second time in four days, Ukrainian drone operators spotted a Russian soldier trying to march across the snowy and tree-less no-man’s-land in Ukraine while wearing a thermal poncho.

A thermal poncho that kinda made him look like a penguin.

The Russian penguin trooper met the same fate as his penguin comrade from a few days ago. An explosive first-person-view drone swooped in and almost certainly killed him.

The whole episode would be funny if it weren’t so tragic. But the hilarity belies the soundness of the underlying tactic. Yes, a thermal penguin suit is funny. But it may also work.

Just not in broad daylight and out in the open.
