China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) appears to be aiming to expand the use of exoskeleton systems among some of its units to help soldiers carry heavy loads more easily.

中国人民解放军（PLA）似乎正致力于在其部分部队中扩大外骨骼系统的使用，以帮助士兵更轻松地搬运重物。

Video footage released on 25 October by the state-owned China Central Television 7 (CCTV 7) channel shows soldiers at the Wuxi Joint Logistic Support Centre using what appeared to be a powered exoskeleton to carry 80 kg crates full of small arms and munition.

中国中央电视台第七频道（cct7）发布10月25日的视频画面显示，无锡联合后勤保障中心的士兵使用一个看似有动力的外骨骼，携带80公斤重的装满轻武器和弹药的板条箱。

 

CCTV 7 stated in its report that the crates contained “obsolete weapons” that were about to be destroyed, suggesting that the soldiers shown in the footage may belong to an ordnance disposal unit. It also stated this was the first time the new exoskeleton system had been used in this context, suggesting that it is undergoing trials.

央视7日在其报道中称，这些板条箱中装有即将销毁的“过期武器”，这表明录像中显示的士兵可能属于军械处置单位。它还指出，这是新的外骨骼系统首次在这方面使用，这表明它正在接受试验。

 

In a separate CCTV 7 video released that same day the system was also seen being used by troops carrying wounded soldiers in a stretcher as part of an exercise.

在同一天发布的另一段CCTV 7视频中，作为演习的一部分也看到该系统被用于担架运送受伤士兵的部队。

 

That said, no further details were provided about the system, including its weight, the materials it is made of, and whether it is also being trialled by other PLA units.

尽管如此，没有提供关于该系统的更多细节，包括它的重量，它的材料，以及它是否也正在由其他解放军部队试用。
