Here's our recap from yesterday: https://x.com/officialrnintel/status/2039889605541929005?s=20
Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops
๐บ๐ธโ๐ฎ๐ท โ Ground clashes are occuring between IRGC soldiers and American CSAR troops. American soldiers are inside Iran.

The White House has denied the rumors and it is Saturday, but those are the rumors.
