      At one point when typing stuff like above out one has to ask themselves if Russia, a country that has experience with extremely cold temperatures since forever, does not have winter proof materials for their army.

      Interestingly enough, there were issues with winter gear in Russian military - around 2008. Back when Serdyukov was minister of defence and launched a program of refitting the military. That was when Russian military began switching to “digital” camo (little pixels instead of big spots of the old Flora). Seeing how since then Russia has expanded operations in the Arctic, I daresay the issues were fixed.
