Introduction: There is a description in the "Rulai Divine Palm": According to the martial arts, there are two supreme, transcendent and unprecedented martial arts - the Rulai Divine Palm and the Heavenly Remnant Foot. These two sets of martial arts, both mutually exclusive and mutually exclusive, each with its own strengths and weaknesses, are said to have been created by two Kuangshiqi people three hundred years ago, and are a myth passed down from generation to generation in the martial forest for hundreds of years. In the long history of weapon development, there is a double-helix propulsion vehicle known for its strange way of walking, but it may be really a bit "leg stump", because whether it is a river, swamp, ice, snow, jungle, it can be as flat as walking, but it just can't walk on the normal road! Because the spiral "roller" under the body is hollow, it can also drive on the surface of the water, which can be said to be amphibious, but once it reaches the flat land, the vehicle becomes confused, not only easy to destroy the road surface, but also may also grind the "thread". The worse the road conditions, the more effective it is, and the better the road becomes ineffective, which is where the propeller vehicle is different from other traditional wheel and tracked vehicles!

The picture shows the ZIL-29061 propeller, an improved version of the ZIL-2906, and the rear vehicle is the ZiL-49061 type dedicated to the ZIL-29061. ZiL-29061 was transported by ZiL-49061 when in use, and when it reached the ground in bad road conditions, it was the turn of the propeller to get out of the horse. The spiral "roller" under the hull is the symbol of the spiral propulsion vehicle

Military activities are one of the many human activities, and they are inevitably inseparable from the stage of geographical environment. On the one hand, it transforms the geographical environment, on the other hand, it is constrained and affected by the geographical environment and many of its elements. Since the beginning of mankind's war, on the stage of geographical environment, many war stories that can be sung and wept have been staged. Throughout the history of war, we will find that the geographical environment, as the objective basis of war, can either make you a hero overnight, or it can make you lose in an instant. Therefore, the geographical environment has always been valued by Chinese and foreign military experts. For example, as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period more than 2,000 years ago, Sun Wu, a famous military scientist in ancient China, believed that commanders must start from five aspects when analyzing the battlefield situation, predicting the victory or defeat of war, and making strategic decisions, namely, "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, and Law." Among them, "heaven" and "earth" refer to geographical conditions. "Heaven" is the weather, colloquially speaking, astronomy and climate; "earth" is geography, referring to various geographical conditions, especially terrain. He also emphatically pointed out that "all five will be ignored, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win." He regarded geographical conditions as an important basis for strategic decision-making and an important guarantee for victory. At the same time, he also believed that "those who master the terrain are also assisted by soldiers", and regard the terrain as an auxiliary condition for commanding operations; "knowing the heavens and the earth, victory is infinite", and that only by knowing astronomical geography can we win the war.

The author of "On War" and the world-famous Prussian strategist Clausewitz also once said: "The geographical environment has a very close and eternal relationship with military action itself, and it has a decisive influence on the course of war itself, as well as on the preparation and application of battle." "Even in modern warfare, the geographical environment is also an important factor that cannot be ignored by war decision-makers." The regional character of theaters affects the needs of troop formation, equipment, training and logistical support in these theaters, which in turn affects the viability of various military strategies. Specific battlefield conditions have an impact on the tactics used. The different battlefield conditions that arise in the theater can affect the organization, equipment, and training of the army. In other words, it means that the effectiveness of military equipment is closely related to the terrain and weather conditions specific to each region. It is conceivable that people rarely wear seal boots in Mali, and in Syria, people do not need to wear snow boots. Mountain combat equipment may be more useful in Albania than in Belgium, while amphibious combat equipment is more useful in Portugal than in Hungary. It could also explain why, in icy Russia, soldiers needed an "anti-traditional" vehicle to traverse the complex tundra.

After Peter the Great defeated the Swedes at Poltava in 1709, Russia began to present itself as a European power, and in the following centuries rose to become one of the world's great powers. Military power made this rise possible, and even the Bolshevik social revolution did not change it—especially after the near-devastating test of the Second World War, the Soviet Union, which rose from the ruins of the Third Reich, was trying to use its military might to engage in a worldwide "struggle for hegemony" with the United States of America. Because the "Cold War" was "all-round" from the outset, politically, so was the military struggle – "from the British coast to Siberia, only the Red Army is the most powerful!" In this way, the technical equipment designed and built for certain extreme battlefield environments also has a reason to appear - the Soviet ZIL 29061/ZIL 4906 "multi-purpose amphibious snow passage system" is such a product. It was built precisely to crush the ice sheets of the Arctic and Siberia!

At the end of World War II, the Soviet Union still had a long way to go to gain global military hegemony. The architects of Soviet strategy will face new challenges, one of which is how to fight in areas like ice caps or Arctic wastelands. Of course, many people will inevitably find it absurd, or at least incomprehensible, to fight in the Ice Cap region or in the Arctic wilderness. Keep in mind that most people in the world live in "ordinary type" areas, where temperate residential areas, farm areas, pastoral areas and deciduous forest areas are distributed. Most of the terrain is undulating grasslands, hills and low mountains, geologically speaking, the height difference per square mile is 80 to 600 feet, the average slope is 3° to 12 °, and there are about 3 drainage ditches per mile. The climate is moderate, and it is right to call it mild. The average monthly temperature is usually 0 to 23 degrees Celsius, the average monthly precipitation is 3 to 5 inches, the average cloud cover is 4/10 to 5/10... For reasons not difficult to understand, military operations are mostly carried out in such areas. A considerable part, if not most, of the principles of modern warfare are based on experience in conducting operations under ordinary environmental conditions. However, the area that meets the characteristics of conventional operations accounts for only about one-sixteenth of the earth's total land area, which means, to some extent, that the place where conventional operations take place is only a very small and special part of the world. There are also vast areas of the world with special or harsh environments, stretching from vast deserts through lush tropical forests to the cold polar regions. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of military struggles, conflicts can also unfold in these special areas – something that was realized among those at the helm of the Soviet military.

From the very beginning, the Soviet-style political struggle took on a distinctly martial color, so the Soviet military strategy was created on two levels, one at the political level and the other at the military and technical level. In theory, the right to guide the process of military development in the USSR belonged to the United Communist Party (Brazzaville). However, expertise in contemporary war science is available only to professional officers. Much of the history of the development of the Soviet military creed consisted of efforts to find a balance between the two. As a result, the study of specialized technical equipment for combat in areas such as ice caps or Arctic wastelands began even before the discussion of whether to conduct operations in these areas began. Moreover, the Professional Soviet Soldiers who demanded the development of such equipment were not abusing the "privileges" they had acquired "inadvertently", but had a fairly good reason. Cold-environment areas account for about 40% of the world's land area, and more than half of the vast territory of the Soviet Union is made up of such areas, and it also constitutes most of the land area of Finland, Sweden, Norway and other countries in northern Europe. For some sober-minded professional Soviet soldiers, it is one thing to fight on such terrain, and it is another to prepare for such terrain. On such terrain, the most troubling environmental conditions encountered by military operations will be mud, snow, lack of roads and poor conditions for landing beachheads. All this hinders and hinders maneuvering, and the temperature is too low, which accelerates the physical and mechanical consumption. Even so, military operations on such terrain are not uncommon.

The most emblematic Arctic wilderness military activities were the British battle in Lapland from 1918 to 1919, the German campaign at Murmansk in 1941, the British and German attacks on Spitsbergen in 1940-1943, and the American amphibious operation on Attu Island in 1943. The British captured Petsamo without any fighting. It shows that a modern army can climb cold and desolate shores and survive despite the rising tides, fog and cold of the Arctic. The British development of reindeer-pulled sleigh troops and their ability to transport a motorized company at a speed of about 30 miles a day is indeed remarkable. In 1941, the German army tried to use artillery, tanks and aircraft during the summer offensive across the tundra. The thick fog hindered the aiming of the artillery fire and prevented the implementation of air support, but still crossed the open ground without being noticed. On May 11, 1943, the U.S. amphibious landing operation on Atul Island (part of the Aleutian Islands) was the largest military operation in the Arctic wilderness. In a battle that lasted 18 days, more than 15,000 American troops landed. Heavy fog, rough waves, humidity and severe cold are the main environmental obstacles to combat. About 11 per cent of the landing combatants were combat casualties and about 14 per cent were withdrawn from combat for illness and other non-combat injuries such as sunburn, frostbite and trench feet. Judging from the number of casualties in the specific environment of the Aleutian Islands, the terrible opponent of the harsh environment seems to be no less than the enemy.

At the same time, people have also accumulated a lot of experience in fighting in the cold deciduous forest areas of several European countries. The campaign of Charles XII in Russia also illustrates the effect of the severe cold in the northern Yelin area on the movement of troops. His experience in Western Russia in the winter of 1708-1709 was no less than that of Napoleon in 1812-1813 and german Field Marshal Bock in 1941-1942. From 1708 to 1709, the severe winter cold in Russia greatly weakened the Swedish army, resulting in a crushing defeat in Pltova. The examples of the Finnish periods of 1940-1944 illustrate the situation of modern warfare in the northern Phajelin region. It was a war fought by light infantry, sled units, horse-drawn (or towed) light artillery units, and columns that moved along the road to ambush, infiltrate and encircle. It was only, to a limited extent, a mechanized war involving tanks and artillery. The Soviets were very bitter about this. Obviously, from the military experience learned from the past positive and negative aspects, some people of insight who have a say in the construction of the Soviet armed forces realize that whether it is the tundra belt in Siberia, the ice cap near the Arctic Circle, or the deciduous forest area in the north, such a military environment with harsh climate, sparse roads, limited visibility and obstacles is obviously different from the usual combat environment, and to carry out military struggle here and achieve victory, we must work the corresponding technical equipment. It is necessary to develop military "vehicles" that are completely different from the existing wheeled or tracked types, otherwise the price will be extremely high!
