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.

Exoskeletons have been in development for years (the DARPA program has videos from over ten years ago) what's notable about this is Ukraine has developed theirs in the middle of a war and actually put them in combat testing.

I look forward to DroneUA crushing the American MIC grift programs in the market.
