There is something to learn in the idea that engineers have spent incredible amounts of time creating highly advanced automated autoloaders for artillery and cannons, and yet one has to ask is a human with a minimal, useful exoskeleton still better?

note check out the video of the exoskeleton being used to load a Bohdana! Pretty badass show of strength for Ukraine.

The defenders of Donetsk Airport from back in the early days of the conflict were called the "Cyborgs" due to how steadfast they were in its defense, so it's not entirely unprecedented.
