China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) could one day get an “iron man” suit that will provide soldiers with “heavy firepower, special armor, and flying capability,” according to a report by the state propaganda outlet Global Times on Wednesday.
Ideas for the futuristic suit were judged at the Super Warrior 2019 Military Individual Exoskeleton System Challenge in Beijing, organized by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Equipment Department. More
All BS until somebody figures how to make a light.
small, portable super battery or energy source that
can provide enough power to keep the thing moving
for more that a few minutes.
With that amount of energy concentrated into a very
small package what you have is a hugely powerful
bomb until you can figure out how to safely store
the power and make it so it trickles out energy as needed.
Made from steel harvested from ocean liners and rail lines made in 1912.
Chinese steel is an ancient Chinese secret for sure.
Why haven’t the Japanese come up with that yet? They’ve been playing with it in anime for decades.
Power Rangers? I thought they were Japanese….
Something to focus our new lasers on
If we can think it, we can do it.
Keep in mind that one of Tesla’s big theories was to transmit power over air. And surprise! It’s closer to reality: https://futurism.com/stanford-scientists-are-making-wireless-electricity-transmission-a-reality.
The light weight metal for the exoskeleton is already achievable, so this is actually a matter of when not if.
Well, there’s this:

John nailed it.
The ChiComs can’t even build a watertight aircraft carrier. Perhaps they should focus on basic welding skills and forego the delusions of Tony Stark grandeur.
5′ tall metal clad soldiers. Just have to aim lower and use AP rounds.

I’ve seen Chinese executions of difficult electronic and mechanical systems. They were not lacking in engineering nor fabrication. Do not fool yourself they are inept or incapable. They may have stolen the IP, but they damn sure executed the replication.
Underestimate their capabilities if you wish. I do not.
