>The next-generation combat gear also includes a powered exoskeleton to help increase performance and stamina while fighting.
>The prototype features a helmet covering the soldier’s face and cutting-edge body armor.

so is it good or is it trash or some next level slav shit?

Your dumbass probably never heard of Katherine Goble.

They can fund them. Russia's thing is to make awesome tech for dickwaving purposes and then put it in a vault never to be seen again because it costs too much to be mass-produced on any effective scale. Good example: we all love the Vintorez but rumor is they're practically unseen by anyone in the Russian armed forces.

I personally believe if there was enough effort and knowledge, anyone could make a super suit; I am sure they even have some for lifting heavy things.

I like how everyone here is ragging on the ruskies, while completely forgetting that the US military came up with this retarded shit decades ago, then promptly tossed it in the trash and hoped everyone would forget it. I'm not trying to defend this shit, but come on guys, let 'em play.

Anyone designing a full face helmet I'd like to see them do a couple of 400m sprints while wearing it, then think its still a good idea
>>
>>34411900
Look closely at the design and similar US designs. If they're done right, the helmet is supported by part of the exoskeleton. The whole point of these 80% coverage (or similar) suits is to up armor door kickers while giving them back some of their mobility. The real neat part is the potential for exoskeletons that redistribute the weight of rucks and other gear so foot soldiers don't fuck up their knees as much, unfortunately they'll probably turn into an invitation for giving your average soldier even more shit to carry and take care of.
>>
>>34411823
So, uh, what do you actually do? I assume you're not an instructor.
>>
>>34411881
the us is still looking at exoskeletons. i remember ekso bionics stock went up a lot a few months ago because the military was gonna do trials on their suit or some shit and they got a contract with lockheed martin
>>
>>34411827
yet it was only used once and not suited for its purpose
russia is good at building big things

>>
>>34411939
For me, its the same as gas masks, you just can't get enough damn air through the things, they fog up and play havoc with your senses. I did a lot of the clearance training where they throw us in gas masks for fucking ages on end and they truly are horrible things to be stuck in for a long time. Exoskeletons are kind of a limited use, when you're 7 days into a 10 day run around in the mountains and the battery shits itself, you're kind of gunna be stuck there and it would be kind of embarrassing to get a chopper in there for anything less than a medical evac.

There's a lot to be said about kit becoming lighter, that's honestly where I think money might be better spent if stuff is made out of super light weaves, composite plates, steel being replaced with titanium etc
But ultimately ammo, water and food are still the big 'lump' of weight even if you manage to scratch off a good percentage of what (current) armour and weapons weigh
>>

>>34411993
they were doing pretty good in the cold war. they btfo us during most of the space race, we pretty much pulled a hail mary at the end and pulled it off. that's why there's so many conspiracy theories and shit about it being a hoax. the reason tsar bomba it was only used once is because they did a nuclear detonation treaty not long after it was set off, plus a lot of russian officials even wanted to stop the program after they saw the destruction, it was expensive as fuck, and it busted out windows 560 miles away and the blast wave circled the earth 3 times. it actually had a theoretical potential of twice the one they set off, but they reduced the load by half to limit nuclear fallout.

soviet missile technology as a whole was more advanced than the US's during the cold war, and they had a better navy, better armor, and better artillery. the svd and pso-1 were also advanced as fuck when they were released

us documents from 1981 indicate that they thought they had a solid lead in 18 different sciences while the soviets had an undisputable lead in 23 based on what they had seen and were projected to gain more

They did use her calculations you fucking moron. Along with the calculations of the other four or five hundred 'computers' employed by NACA at the time. Hell the stupid 'computer' divison was managed by an African American woman so they clearly didn't give a shit about the color barrier as long as the math was right.

You seem to forget that the Soviet space program was nearly single handedly run by Sergei Pavlovich Korolev and he constantly butted heads with Valentin Glushko to the point they developed competing rocket designs to get to the Moon.
When Korolev died the force behind a lot of soviet space flight was gone and it didn't help that his replacement was completely unsuited to administrative work.
>>
>>34408364
They used nearly all of their work. Katherine Johnson was first credited on a NASA report in 1959, she helped calculate the trajectory of Alan Shepard's flight and checked the electronic computers results for John Glenn's flight as well. She helped with orbital mechanics calculations for Apollo 11 and had a major hand in the emergency backup procedures for Apollo 13. The gal worked with NASA literally since it's inception in 1958 till 1986 and was awarded the same group award the rest of the Project Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo crew received. Hell she received an award from NASA in 1971,80,84,85, and 86 for outstanding achievements. Hardly a forgotten or ignored person.

I like going back to older Ghost Recon games and seeing all the stuff Red Storm thought we would have by now like guys in 90's woodland camos carrying XM29 OICWs, XM8 rifles, gun mounted cameras for shooting around corners, caseless ammo, ect.

Instead they changed camo patterns like three times and kept the gear the same for the most part. Instead of doing active camo exo suit shit the next Ghost Recon game should just be guys in some mismatched camo like new BDUs with Multicam vests carrying the same AR-15 rifles except with some new gimmicky rail system like keymod because the game was sponsored by magpul.

I took that screenshot and highlighted it years ago, it's always fun to see things you make get reposted.

One of the interesting things that is noted in that big document is the soviet Material science, the US accurately predicted that the Soviets would be at the forefront of developing new explosives, which they did shortly after with Thermobaric weapons.

They also noted electronics and optical science as being weak points for the soviets iirc, while rocketry was a strong one.

It's based on oil. Oil's really cheap at the moment. And so Russia's broke. Investing in diversifying the economy back when oil was expensive would have been a good idea, but Putin didn't.

Much of Africa also have economies based on raw materials. Look how well that's worked out for them. Turns out that the main value adding step often isn't extracting raw materials, but refining them into consumer products.

So the third world spit out the raw materials for a pittance. The Chinese then make a tidy buck using them. And finally the west trade those for fiat currencies, essentially getting all their resources and labor of the rest for sitting at a desk and making up money.

Yet they had shit like T-10 and large chunk of their army and officers consisted of slaves from countries occupied by ruskies who wanted to get free at the very first possible moment.

How feasible would it be to make an exoskeleton with bigger, stronker joints, attach a generator to the wearer's back, cover their head and torso in a one inch steel plate(they'd see through a VR headset and a bunch of crappy little cameras), then put 1/3 to 1/2 inch steel plates or Kevlar over other body parts?
Maybe reduce the thickness of the plates, that's just a heavier example that'd be able to survive .50 caliber rounds to the torso/head.

They'd be pretty hard to kill with assault rifles, it'd be good for special forces storming buildings and shit, if it's possible with current technology.

I wish we just could just have magic batteries already.

It would weigh a lot. Going full polyethylene/ceramic hybrid for full body coverage would probably weigh about 100-120lb. Level 3 AR500 would be in excess of 500.

Forget about stopping .50 cal or .338.

Magic batteries are already here btw. Aluminum-air.

This exoskeleton is not even a prototype, it's a concept made in few days.

>Still thinking that every CG or model is an official MoD material.

Meanwhile Russians use actual and working passive exoskeleton in field.

lmao.
Go look at M82 and M107A1 weld marks above the safety selector/lower. Also M249, M240B/L.
It's not a milled AR15 upper. How else do you attach rail to metal ?

I'm thinking of a human-tank sort of suit that can be shot repeatedly from close range without major injuries, I know steel is heavy as shit but it has the advantage that it doesn't fall apart after being shot, so it'd be great for this concept, but it'd need to be used sparingly and in combination with other materials, and it'd need to have minimalismed surface area to reduce weight.

For the surface area part I'm thinking something vaguely resembling the torso of pic related, but not so excessively bulky, combining the head and torso armor into one dome-like piece would reduce the amount of material needed by a lot.

Doing a quick and probably incorrect calculation of the weight of steel vs human body surface area

>Surface area of the average human body is 2945 inches
>Divide that to a third as a guess of how much area the central piece of armor might have, and we get 981 inches
>A cubic inch of steel weighs 0.283 pounds
>981 times that is 277 pounds

Still pretty fucking heavy, with the weight of everything else that's more than can be feasibly carried around by power sources and limb motors that will be available for a while, and it'd need huge feet to have decent ground pressure.

I think layering ceramic and maybe Kevlar over a thinner plate of steel would be the right choice, preferably make the ceramic in small tiles with little space between them so if one plate breaks the weaker area it leaves behind is so small it's unlikely to get shot again.

The limbs wouldn't need to be armored like the torso and head, whatever combination of materials would let them survive a few shots from typical assault rifle rounds would be enough.

The idea is to make a suit that could tank dozens or hundreds of bullets from typical firearms like rifles, shotguns, SMGs, pistols, etc, it'd be useful for short missions in close quarters combat, SWAT teams would love it.

Try to fit that through an old building's door frames, stairways, hallways, etc.

Ideally the it wouldn't be that much wider than the user's shoulders but a bit taller than they are outside of it.

I don't think it'd be that hard to fit in most buildings, I'm thinking of something smaller than the white one from my last post and even that thing could fit through most doors by walking straight through, it might hit the frame if it turned to the side though.

about as legit as all those exoskeletons and armor suits the US has been churning out since like 1990.
>>
>>34424190
Have you been in old burger houses? They were built smaller because the people were smaller. As a 5ft 10 king of manlets, I still bonk my head going up and down the stairways of some of these places. With a rigid tank like that it doesn't appear to be able to just bend around tight spaces.
>>
>>34424251
My dude, I was in a burgerland house built in the 1800s a few weeks ago, it had doors the same size as any modern building, but with the floors in each room being different heights so you'd unexpectedly drop six inches going through a doorway and almost fall face first into the kitchen table.

Maybe you just live in a part of the country with retarded midget architecture.

It isn't their fault, it's an example of a time the US overestimated Soviet capabilities.
Which was mentioned to indicate that Cold War US documents claiming Soviet superiority should not be taken as gospel (nor should any other option though- Americans claiming superiority, Soviets claiming superiority or Soviets claiming inferiority)

Why invest in super exo skeleton technology when you can hire a bunch of impoverished computer science grads to hack your enemy's infrastructure?

Any type of full suit armor is still way off due to the weight and the issue of getting really fucking hot wearing a suit like that.

Only way something like that can be visible if it was power armor fueled by some fantasy super small power source and was has some fancy cooling feature to keep the user in a good temperature.
