The announcement comes as Vladimir Putin's troops continue to face plummeting morale as a result of equipment shortages.

The high - tech exoskeletons give the wearer super-strength, deadly accuracy from distance, and the ability to run faster and for longer over difficult terrain. Maxim Skokov, the CEO of Russia's Ekzo Solutions, has revealed his company had been approached by 'special agencies' looking to test its equipment on the battlefield. It's believed he is most likely referring to Russia's intelligence services or mercenary groups.
