minus-square@LilDumpylinkEnglish13•2 months agoI heard there were no parachutes, that they just jumped into deep snow.
minus-square@PugJesusOPMlinkEnglish29•2 months agoNot in this case. There was an incident where Soviet troops DID do that, but from much lower altitudes, and from slow-flying biplanes. I don’t think any amount of snow would save them at that height!
