The Mysterious African Ironman Combat Suit That Can't Be Real- Can It?

  • In January of 2019, Ghana, a country with nearly no military pretenses, took the world by storm - but perhaps not for the best reasons. During the 38th annual Technology Exhibition organized by the Kantanka Company, the corporation's most advanced technologies were displayed.
    An Armored Personnel Carrier safeguarding a group of soldiers armored with exoskeletons rolled before the eyes of a hypnotized audience, with the event calling for a solemn attitude and igniting national pride among the attendees.
    But as the soldiers waddled clumsily through the parade, amateurs and experts the world over pointed at an obvious yet sad truth - the event was not a custom show but a very serious exhibition of military prowess...

      Not hydraulic at all. They are electrically actuated and have redundant battery power from two sources. This is all top secret. What has not been released is the number of electrocution casualties and what happens to the LiFePO4 batteries when penetrated by small arms fire.

    I've worked with armored vehicles with an armor thick enough to stop small arms rounds. The driver's hatch on those were similarly sized to the one we can see on the so-called "APC" in the video. These hatches were HEAVY. The mechanism to lock a hatch like that in a raised position had to be bulky and there was a huge spring to counterbalance its weight. Meanwhile in the video we can see that in their "APC" it is being held up by a pair of flimsy car hatch struts. I strongly doubt this "APC's armor plating" is any thicker than sheet metal not even thick enough to even stop most small arms bullets.

      Problem is, politicians and tech-twats like to pretend that thinking positively about something will magically make it effective, because what they're ACTUALLY trying to do is create a bluff to convince investors that, no matter how unreasonable and unrealistic some new invention is, it MIGHT be the next big thing, so if they don't invest, they'll miss out.

    To be fair, the APC is not useless. If it can stand up to small arms fire, it's already good enough for a SWAT team. And if the APC is made of civilian truck parts, then that makes it pretty cheap and easy to maintain.
    Also, those bodyarmor suits boosted morale among the local population (especially kids), so that's already mission accomplished. As for practical use, plastic plate armor is potentially useful for close combat by being punch-proof and stab-proof. If their local law enforcement has to put up with a lot of stab-related crimes, then something like this might be exactly what they need. They just need to make the suits more "ergonomic" and comfortable to walk in.

      Same with their other classified tech that may or may not exist, like for example, the so-called "flying tictacs"

    When Africa tries to push through its own real-life version of Wakanda, but its robotics genius turns out to have sub-100 IQ.

    The fact that they take that equipment seriously shows how ignorant they are.

    Kantanka needs to go. The fact that they've made him the tech standard is actually sad. He's holding them back.

    First thing they need to do is start with a solid gamebason, coif and chausers. Make them with modern ballistic fibers, the outer layer should be fire resistant. If you can get level 2A protection from padded cloth. That will protect vs fragments. Then you add your metal plates over that. Should be able to get level 4.
