A video posted to the Facebook page of [Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin](), shows a Russian soldier walking through a testing range in a bomb suit as explosions go off all around her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9cFevxHkzQ In the April 22 post, Rogozin referenced the science fiction film “Terminator,” calling the cybernetic killing machine a “sad excuse,” compared to the woman in the video. He’s not wrong. Walking unflinchingly through the minefield, the tester seems completely unfazed by the explosions going on around her. [According to Maxim](), the next-generation bomb suit was designed by Russia’s Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering, part of Russia’s defense industry, and focuses on small arms and non-lethal equipment.
