Fight Against Ice



Here are two commonly used super-machines to fight the constant snow and ice in places like Russia. First is the boat equipped with a ten-foot chainsaw, used to cut through the thick ice that accumulates in waterways. The next are big trucks with snowplows - but instead of plows, the trucks have literal jet engines attacked to their front to quickly melt huge quantities of snow and ice. These machines look like they've come straight from a gothic science fiction novel. They represent the violence of industry, but still very useful and innovative.
