As the Daily Mail reports, the suit resembles the work of an action-packed science fiction movie. The exoskeleton's design is reminiscent of the Stormtroopers in "Star Wars", or the fictional mechanical police officer in "RoboCop." The suit allows a soldier to not only carry an enormous amount of weight (extra ammunition or weapons) but it also helps the wearer run faster than is normally physically possible without the suit.  The exoskeleton, which is constructed from titanium, is designed to boost a soldier's strength and stamina while a layer of body armor protects the wearer from any incoming bullets and shrapnel.  The exoskeleton fits over the torso and is secured around the waist, dispersing the weight of the built-in backpack, which can be filled with up to 110 pounds (50kg).

Chief designer Oleg Faustov told the Russian news agency TASS that trials are underway for the new super soldier suit. "We have already held trials for the prototype of the active exoskeleton," said Faustov. "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."
