We will continue our struggle to find photos of retrofuturistic "future soldiers". You know this aesthetic - big, bulk, flashy, futuristic gizmos.
Why retro futuristic? Because they mostly failed badly.

Christ, future soldiers seem to just be covering poor grunts with more kevlar and plates hat probably won't even stop a rifle round. Why do people think the soldier of the future is some dude in power armor?
On another note the dude on the right reminds me of dead space.

How? With his fancy-pants Samsung?
Connor Scott
Also strapping them with unreliable electronics and loading them with batteries to power all that shit.
And all this expensive material on a soldier that had to be trained for weeks to use it can and will still be stopped on the regular by a random ass farmer in boots and coveralls with his grandpa's hunting rifle

Why are Estobros so cute ?
Matthew Brooks
does anyone here knows about this "SCOPE" program? can't seem to find much on the web
Luke Taylor
The MP5 is just a placeholder for whatever AR-15 derivative ends up becoming the new service rifle.

If anything, it should be the other way around. Back in '92, the concept of TD was largely unknown in the former USSR.

Grunts of the future will be robots.
Aircraft fighter/interceptors will be drones.

You can spot a millennial's post. They love to post cartoons. The favored format of children.

PAPOP was one the weirdest concepts back then

Because better for them to be wearing all that armor and not have their knees busted than wearing slightly less and having no knees left.
There's a threshold to cross with armor protection and once that is done your grandpa's hunting rifle would basically do nothing on a spot-on headshot. That's a nice thing to have.

Ethan Jones
Laser protection (goggles) were a major issue back then.
Logan Williams
Just like OICW, but even more ugly and expensive. Yay French arms industry.
Anthony Green
WTF are those "rifles"?
Jordan Evans
First prototype of french PolyArme POlyProjectiles, "multi-projectile multi-weapon" program.
It was bulky, 8kg weight with 3x35mm grenades in tubular magazine.
Oliver Nguyen
Second prototype was more compact, two grenade - but atleast 6kg weight.
Both designs utilized digital sight UNDER barrel, so operator was supposed to aim either throug eye-piece, or rotating LCD screen (like on camera).
Joshua Wilson
Those squarish eyeshields were a thing back then
