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...

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.

as an Iranian I am ashamed of what ahmadinejad did with that exhibition to gain popularity among Iranians. the truth is we are not doing well in air and he just like this dude tried to give hope to the people. And you have no idea how much trouble he caused for the defense ministry, they couldn't leave that because it would be an embarrassment for the nation so they made a twin engine one and taxied it on the runway and later DM said the project was experimental and is shelved.

@@basteagui Nah man. It's the rest of the world that can't keep up with us. They tell us we have ADD or ADHD and call it a problem. I'm in my 50s and have learned to live with it. I was diagnosed in the old days (70s) when they just labeled us hyper active. It never goes away, even though they used to say you outgrow it. One quick question for you for real. I always ask. Do you find it easier to act and make decisions in any emergency or chaotic situation as long as the steps you're taking don't need *you* to follow through on the completion of tasks to fix everything? You know delegating the finishing to others. I always did. The more crazy stuff got, the tighter my focus. Happy new year, and take it easy man. 😎

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.

That personal carrier is a giant rolling target. It's tall, has pieces of pipe glued on it, and has no armor or tech. It's just a camo painted Mystery Van. And the infantry armor wouldn't stop a hollow point.
