- 6 years ago
Military firm TsNiiTochMash developed the Ratnik-3 'Soldier of the Future' suit which was paraded at the Army 2018 International Military and Technical Forum in Moscow.
Built of titanium, the exo-skeleton is designed to boost strength and stamina while a layer of body armour protects the wearer from any incoming bullets and shrapnel.
The skeleton fits over the torso and is secured around the waist, dispersing the weight of the built-in backpack, which can be filled up to 110 pounds (50kg).
Chief designer Oleg Faustov told Russian news agency TASS: 'We have already held trials for the prototype of the active exoskeleton.
