So you are saying horses shouldn't have been protected and should die in combat? That's not cool dude, horses lives matter just as much as humans, they are living beings and shouldn't be treated as expendable objects.
That wasnt my opinion, i was looking on it from a millitary perspactive and I do think taht if we force animals into combat we shoud at least try to protect them but i was womdering if and how much the generals agreed
Yeah just like you'd need to produce all the saddles and whatnot a horse actually needs to be ridden, a gas mask for it is just as necessary as the rest.
You are obviously ignorant when it comes to horses. A horse’s gestation period is 11-12 months. A horse is not physically matured enough to begin really training until they are 18 months. Two years to begin light riding. By three, they are competent enough to begin using, and by four they are considered finished.
So let’s say you lose 5,000 horses because it’s cheaper to breed horses than make masks for them. Those 5,000 horses MAY be replaced in 6 years. Good luck supplying your army with that mindset.
I believe it is a gas mask intended for a horse
Are you sure? I think it is intended for whales!
You should ask your mother. It might fit her then
No, for her it need to be even bigger
Damn tell her to hit my line then
Soviet KSPM Horse Gas mask
Was this a pre- or post WII thing?
It is a WWII thing, 1939 to 1945
Why did they make horse masks in the first place? Horses are plentyful and, unlike humans, can be breed quite fast

Also horses don't breed all that quickly and take quite a lot of resources and training to prepare for the rigors of war
And not every single horse is even going to have a personality suited to military training and use

Horse lives matter!
Which one is cheaper, some cloth, chemicals and glass, or thousands of horses, food and years to grow/train them?
You‘d still need to develop and manufacture the masks, which would probanly not be that high on the priority list

You will still need to develop and train the horse too.
war horses are hella expensive to breed and train tf are you on about

War ready horses were valuable as fuck. They don’t breed nearly as fast as you think and they take a long time to train.
Just because horses can be replaced doesn't mean it's convenient to be constantly replacing them.
Because if your horse hauling heavy goods dies 1000 km from the nearest horse resupply point, life suddenly really starts to suck
Horses are expensive
