00:00Ukrainian soldiers are combat testing a new weapon on the battlefield, and it's a badass,
00:06like out of a Marvel movie or a video game badass. You ready for it? It's wearable exoskeletons,
00:15and they allow a soldier to run up to 12 miles an hour, like freaking Iron Man. And when they're
00:22done with it, it packs away nicely right into a little suitcase, so it's easy to transport.
00:26Now, in addition to becoming the Usain Bolt of soldiers, the fancy battlefield tech reduces
00:31the strain of physical work, like hauling and loading heavy ammunition, by a whopping 30%.
00:37The exoskeletons are also programmed with AI that can adapt the tech depending on the load being
00:42carried. The Ukrainian military released footage of fighters using it, and I'll link to the post's
00:47article about it so you can see it for yourself. It's pretty wild. One Ukrainian colonel said that
00:52gunners under his command carry 15 to 30 artillery shells every day. Each one weighs 110 pounds,
01:00so you can imagine what taking 30% of that work off of their bodies can do for endurance.
