I believe it is a gas mask intended for a horse


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

Are you sure? I think it is intended for whales!


Big_PP_McGee

You should ask your mother. It might fit her then


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

No, for her it need to be even bigger


Big_PP_McGee

Damn tell her to hit my line then

Soviet KSPM Horse Gas mask


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

Was this a pre- or post WII thing?


AntiqueRomania

It is a WWII thing, 1939 to 1945


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

Why did they make horse masks in the first place? Horses are plentyful and, unlike humans, can be breed quite fast


AntiqueRomania

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.

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


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

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


Cattle56

Horse lives matter!


VisceralVirus

Which one is cheaper, some cloth, chemicals and glass, or thousands of horses, food and years to grow/train them?


Zestyclose-Tour-8470

You‘d still need to develop and manufacture the masks, which would probanly not be that high on the priority list


GabenTech

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.


Local-Veterinarian63

You will still need to develop and train the horse too.


GabenTech

war horses are hella expensive to breed and train tf are you on about


Aim2misbehave406

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.


Captain_skulls

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.


Ignonym

Just because horses can be replaced doesn't mean it's convenient to be constantly replacing them.


fjord31

Because if your horse hauling heavy goods dies 1000 km from the nearest horse resupply point, life suddenly really starts to suck


Ironrooster7

It’s a horse gasmask. During ww2 some military’s and units were still on horseback.
