Sedalia Dave Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Quote "The Kharkovchanka" - Russia's Colossal Antarctic Cruisers which have been continuously operating in some of the most extreme environments on Earth for over 50 years. Produced in Kharkiv, Ukrainian Soviet Socialistic Republic and originally operated by USSR, the 'Харьковчанка' (literally 'Kharkiv Women'), these amazing Snow Cruisers were built in the late 1950s and featured everything a polar explorer could need in the field. In their half-century mission, they have crossed thousands of miles on Antarctic Ice, visited the South Pole, the pole of inaccessibility as well the dozens of outposts and research stations on the continent.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Considering how many T-72s are waiting for repair, it’s amazing that it is still running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I was going to accuse them of stealing the idea from Stripes. Then I saw it was made in 1950. I guess Hollywood stoled it from the ruskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
