This allows combat missions to be accomplished more quickly.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to actively introduce new technologies in the war against Russia. The 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Ukrainian Defense Forces has published details and footage published by the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps.

Exoskeletons have begun to be used by soldiers of the 147th Brigade in combat positions and logistics at one of the "hottest" sections of the front - Pokrovskoye.

According to the published footage, the gadget is attached to the waist and legs. It reduces the load by about 30%, has a range of about 17 km and a maximum support speed of 20 km/h.

"Every day, artillerymen endure a high physical load. They carry 15-30 shells weighing 50 kg each every day," noted Colonel Vitaly Serdyuk, deputy commander of the 7th Corps.

Thanks to exoskeletons, he said, soldiers get less tired and perform tasks faster.

- This is a continuation of the realization of the philosophy of the techno-skill component of our corps. We make human endeavors easier with technological solutions," the DSW stated.
