What is the hardest terrain for soldiers to fight in?

Space

Underwater

Arctic mountains

Add some rain and it's outright deadly real fucking fast

In a real situation? Waist deep snow in busted snow shoes from the 50's cause your army has no budget.

Totally dependent, every terrain sucks in its own special way.

-dense forest (less now that nods/radios are common)
-cities
-mountains
-jungle

those are all high on the list, although modern infantry accept urban fighting as normal while it was a new kind of suck in the 1940s and 1970s.

Inside a volcano.

jungles

Your dirty house. Peewew clean up lad

You've been watching too many movies buddy. Individual soldiers don't fight under water, don't believe the navy recruiters, they're fucking liars.

>he hasn't seen JBP vs Zizek

Building full of black women so talking loud the force breaks your bones

#1 Definitely arctic conditions. It poses the greatest risk. The weather is trying to kill you all day and night, and unless you watch your ass and conduct operations accordingly it can kill you. Digging trenches, nightmare, water, too cold to drink, food and rations, better spread it out and know hoe to hunt if shit gets bad.
#2 Jungle terrain. Shitty to navigate, and everything is trying to kill you. The heat and humidity can do you in. The plants can kill you, the insects and reptiles can kill you, and of corse gorillas or large wild animals. Even small nail sized frogs can do you in. Moving a meter in the jungle takes forever, there are a million places for enemies to hide, and its a logistical tactical nightmare. Wreaks havoc on weapons and gear, and can fuck your feet up royally.

Likely not the hardest, but parts of Africa are shit to operate in. Northern Kenya is massively flat apart from sparse mountains, but the whole place at high altitude. 45-50 degrees celcius during the day, comparatively feels like youre in the Arctic at night. High risk of disease, infection, rot and all that good stuff. Plenty of poisonous snakes and spiders. We had a recce patrol go out and get stalked by hyenas who tried to attack a bloke, and another recce nearly got killed by a startled elephant.

All the foliage is sharp and barbed, and hidden wadis, hyena holes and other falling hazards are massively prevalent. Line of sight and visual range is amazing, but that obviously works both ways; chances are youll be spotted a long way off. Actual good cover is few and far between, and whoever has the high ground has a massive advantage for calling in fires and general observation.

Logistics wise its also a nightmare; youll be lucky to find a proper road within 50 square miles, and any vehicle movement can be spotted from miles away due to the dust. Each bloke also has to have minimum of half a dozen litres of water a day, more like a litre an hour if youre working in the midday heat. As such heatstroke, fatigue and sunburn further degrade your fighting capability. Vehicles have to follow tracks and often get stuck or bogged down or cant get through the brush, meaning its primarily a light infantry game.

TL;DR: Northern Kenya fucking sucks. Great training though.

Iwo Jima and Vietnam were both pretty terrible. But so was that pesky Russian winter

I recon pic related must be pretty fucking hard to fight in.

Or anything airborne.

Love

Wiesel's with band tracks would be perfect - basically bulletproof technicals that don't bog.

We were using Land Rovers and 4 tonners that have decent off road capability, its just the fine sand and dirt that you can be riding fine on one minute and sinking into the next. But yeah its not a kind place to vehicles or the blokes inside; had a 3 hour drive in a 4 tonner and my insides felt like Id just been in a perpetual car crash, and a couple of the landys sheared their axles. Its no wonder most of the locals use dirtbikes to get around.

Love is a battlefield.
