Japanese Military Embraces its Anime Side, Begins Military Powered Armour Project


Last December, Japan’s defense research organization proposed allocating $7.5 million of its 2015 budget towards research into “highly mobile powered suits.”

Which sounds awesome. If anyone can craft Iron Man style robotic armor, it’s Japan, right? Don’t hold your breath. As the U.S. military has learned, exoskeletons are still a long way from the battlefield.


And War is Boring, especially James Simpson, is very, very skeptical.
