Russian army to get exoskeletons controlled by power of mind in 5 years

MOSCOW, April 29. /TASS/. The Russian defence industry will be able to supply to the Armed Forces powered exoskeletons, which will boost strength and endurance of the troops, in some five years, a senior official at the United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation told TASS on Wednesday.

"I think that in about five years we will get a neural interface to control exoskeletons and prostheses," said Alexander Kulish, who is in charge with the designing and production of medical equipment.

He said that such exoskeletons would help soldiers carry loads of up to 200-300 kilograms and "make incredible jumps, move and throw heavy objects."

Kulish said the corporation was ready to launch a serial production of such systems.

He added that exoskeletons could also be used in civil medicine for the rehabilitation of disabled people.

I expect the end results to look something like this.

Actually, if the suits are mind controlled, anyways, why not have them be remote controlled, then?

Call of Duty, Advance Warfare or Black Ops 3?

The "Moscow" scenes were filmed in Vienna.

Limited range of transmission/some kind of physical contact requirement?  I suppose you could get around that by making a second dummy suit that just transmits to the field suit's actuators, but why make two when you can just put the soldier out in the field?

The dogfight around 1:40 reminds me of the Death Star.

You're telling me- I loved Exo Squad- the fights always reminded me of Babylon 5 in cartoon form.
