Russia has been quietly working on high-tech war machines for some years and could be preparing to introduce even more of them to the conflict.The Russian army has previously trialled 'active powered' exoskeletons which can be strapped to soldiers to give them lethal cyborg powers.The electric suits are designed to augment and enhance troops.

They can help soldiers carry much heavier loads and can even give machine guns deadly accuracy over long-distances.Oleg Faustov, from Russian Army defence contractor TsNiiTochMash, said the suits will make ordinary human servicemen far more lethal.He said: "We have already held trials for the prototype of the active exoskeleton.
