  1. Ukraine has continuously shown the new state of warfare. The expensive US defense systems in the Iran war shows how futile it is to not adapt to the new economy of scale with cheap military tech.

    This used readily available exoskeleton tech to make transportation of military gear significantly easier and faster for the soldiers. I have seen plenty of videos of this used in civilian situations, but this is the first time I have seen the use in real military situations.

    It’s a fascinating turn of events. Fully automized warfare is not here yet, thankfully, although it is getting there. Still, for the foreseeable future advances on the battlefield is driven by foot soldiers. Exoskeletons allowing the movement of bigger equipment could potentially be a big advantage as Ukraine does whatever it can to not be limited by their numerical disadvantage.

  2. Nice.

    Spending as much money as possible, embezzle as much as possible.

    Let me buy a few more Calls of military.

    We have started to use these in construction, Hilti makes one . Mobility is limited, you wouldnt be able to dodge an incoming round – but for repetititiuos tasks like loading & inloading a heavy howitzer round these would work – only a matter of time before military grade is widescale
