Several countries are known to be experimenting with combat exoskeleton technology, which typically consists of a wearable machine powered by electric motors, pneumatics, or hydraulics that dramatically augment soldiers’ strength and endurance characteristics by amplifying the power of their limb movements.
Russian engineers have created the first prototype of a combat exoskeleton equipped with electric motors, revealed Bekhan Ozdoev, industrial director of Rostec State Corporation’s division for armament, ammunition, and special-purpose chemistry.
