The futuristic gear lets soldiers run faster while wielding heavy automatic weapons.

Military tech firm TsNiiTochMash have developed the Ratnik-3 ‘Soldier of the Future’ suit, which is made from titanium.

Chief designer Oleg Faustov told Russian news agency TASS: "We have already held trials for the prototype of the active exoskeleton.

"It really enhances a serviceman’s physical abilities. For example, the tester was able to shoot from a machine-gun only with one hand and accurately hit targets."

They hope to perfect the design by 2025, claiming they want t make it stronger and faster before rolling it out on battlefields.

But the exo-suits have one major floor - they have no storage battery, meaning it has a limited amount of time during combat.

Scientists say they are confident of improving the power source.
