Anyway, I've always wondered this, I don't know if we'll ever get full face helmets, I imagine it would be like trying to fire a rifle with a bike helmet, you'd need to interface the inner visor with the optic on the rifle somehow. Maybe it'll happen one day.

Fuck combat suits when you can just have a futuristic engineering suit.

They'll probably look exactly the same with a very similar kit and maybe a different camo-pattern uniform. Unless something were to provoke war and thus improvement of military standards and weaponry; you'd be anything but smart to assume that the "it's good enough" mentality would be broken out of the blue.

Even then if there were to be a serious enough war- most troops would probably be radiated ashes.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. In Star Trek TNG their personal computing devices are much more bulky than a normal iPad and I even remember and episode where one of the crew is searching for a quote from a speech and it takes the main Federation computer network hours to find the result. Google can do it in 0.1 seconds.

Even in the early 90's they couldn't imagine the iPad or Google.

I think a lot of the stuff we assume is 500 years away might only be 30 to 50 years away. I'm excited and terrified to see what the future has in store.

I've been getting into drone racing the past few months. The performance of these machines is mind bending. Lately I've been wondering what if drones like this were rigged up with hand grenade size explosives. Trained pilots could just fly one after another at the enemy and detonate when they get close.

The drone itself costs about $500. The goggles I use and the controller push the total price up closer to $1,300 for the total setup but the goggles and controller would not be consumed in the attack. $500 a shot is pretty cheap by military standards. They are small at only about 1 foot corner to corner and can hit speeds of 100 mph.

There are even over the counter night vision cameras people are using to fly these at night. The night vision cameras are like $30. It's not thermal vision, just vision in extreme low light. But even thermal vision is cheap these days. You can buy a "Flir ONE" for your smart phone for under $300 and get full thermal vision.

I think it would be pretty devastating just sending drone after drone at the enemy. If they do manage to shoot you down just boot up another and be in the air again in a matter of seconds.

Video of how agile they are. This is a very similar build to mine which is pictured. Exact same frame as this video. Not my video though. Mr Steele is one of the best pilots in the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKIxOhfoGM0

Imagine waves of these things coming at you and detonating when they get within a few yards.

99% of women cannot even carry the required loadout for a soldier. Not a single woman could pass the required physical fitness tests for the Marines filed officers in recent tests. Women got a lowered requirement compared to men.

>Of 29 women who tried, none graduated; only four made it through the first day’s combat endurance test.

The idea that women can hang with men in brutal front lines combat is a total joke. They would be nothing but a liability on the front lines.

I was pretty average strength for a guy when I was in high school. Maybe slightly above average. I could still bench press far more than the female bench press school record for my school. As an average dude I was stronger than any female to ever attend my school.

Nothing against women. It's just a fucking fact they don't have the muscle and bone structure of men, period.

I don't know the proper terminology but the chin/neck guard on the chest was perfect. Neck protection is a desperately needed thing for Mando armor.
