It was 2023. The war with Russia and Ukrainian was still going on. It was December, it had been raining and snowing a lot recently.

A Russian soldier was patrolling the woods near his base for any enemies. He was wearing basic military attire, including a EMR camouflage uniform. He had a 6B47 helmet on, and a 6B45, which was a standard ballistic vest. He had his assault rifle, a variant of a AK-12, slung over his shoulder.

He was leaning against a tree, rubbing his hands together, trying to keep his hands warm. He suddenly heard a twig snap.

"Эй! Show yourself!" He said, quickly reaching down and grabbing his rifle, pointing it around.
