  1. 1967. GE built a powered exoskeleton. 🦾💪

    Hardiman. Hydraulic. Amplified strength 25x. Could lift a car (or close to it).

    The catch? It weighed 680kg (1,500 lbs). The full version would have topped 1,000kg. Too heavy. Too ahead of its time.

    Never deployed. But it proved the core tech: hydraulics, force feedback.

    The Iron Man prototype from the analog era.

  6. Lockheed's shiny "QuadStar" replacement for the #Stinger is apparently powered by buzzwords like #AI 🤖 and Cyber Warfare 💻, but somehow manages to fire blanks when it comes to actual details. It's like a tech startup got lost in a military expo, armed only with PowerPoint slides and jargon. 🌟🔫
