Could wounded soldiers be turned into enhanced bionic soldiers in the near future?

How high are the chances that that gauntlet is remote controlled?

Human beings aren't that expensive. Whatever it costs to restore a disabled veteran back to 100% physical capacity, you can pay a fraction of to get able-bodied dropouts to pick up a gun for you.
>>
>>64302920
Preservation of experience and morale boosts from knowing previously dire wounds can be better managed are useful
>>
>>64302919
guaranteed
>>
Blown off leg prosthetics seem more relevant due to mines. Still cool though, since functioning limbs, or reasonably so, give a lot of independence for the individual = confidence.

Cool prosthetic. Is it real or fake?

>>64302920
Pretty much.

>>64302924
Not untrue, if you get your hand removed by a Dushka or booby trap, it's probably comforting to know that you can get a cool robot hand replacement like Joseph Joestar.
However, I feel that this kind of thing would still be used sparingly by a military, the U.S Army certainly isn't averse to neglecting most veterans.

If you get a wooden hand you can fuck Cher.
>>
>>64302905
If the replacement was truly an enhancement, they wouldn't bother putting them on wounded people. They would start augmenting people in peak physical and mental condition who have not had the mental trauma associated with getting crippled in the first place.
>>
>>64302905
Bionic soldier would be more expensive and less functional than any basic bitch normal soldier.
So the answer is no.
>>
>>64303659
The only case for bionic enhancements on a wounded soldier is if the soldier was so skilled in a specific field that their experience cannot be replaced.

Otherwise yes. It is cheaper to just train a new grunt.

No.

Oh cool Chinas working on a copy of what my company made 15 years ago to augment wounded soldiers. Maybe by 2050 they'll have figured out organ printing.
>>
>>64303465
Probably real. There are prosthetics which detect muscle movement or electrical signals and move the hand accordingly. Adding wireless data transmission shouldn't be too hard
>>
>>64302905
>china
>real
lol, lmao even
>>
>>64302905
Yes but it's not a good idea. Prosthetics require specialized maintenance and repairs which aren't going to be available in the field.
>>64302920
On the flip side, veterans tend to perform better than fresh recruits.
>>
>>64302905
That's some MGS V kinda shit, if only it were real.

With modern day drone and mine bullshit being the primary ways you get injured actually yes. Like right now or in the very near future? Hell naw dog, way to fucking expensive and complicated. Maybe in like 20-30 years we can get some Adam Jensen's who never asked for any of this being created out of combat vets who will 100% get maimed after serving for a couple years. But only the guys who want to continue fighting even after everything that's happened to them and are actually really good at their job, that's a rare dude and one that's worth the investment. Otherwise the big benefit prosthetics have, even in Ukraine right now, is a huge morale boost to dudes being thrown at the grey zones. Knowing you will be able to return to civilian life not completely crippled is huge.
>>
>>64302920
Supposing you are finding yourself struggling to recruit fresh people at all, like many western nations are currently, and investing in the few people who ARE willing is your only option

I have considered cutting off my own legs for prosthetics. Imagine no more stubbed toes, toenail trimming, cold or stinky feet

Let's go from imagining to explaining. What benefits do those things confer?

WOW!
>>
>>64302905
It looks to me that even something as basic as wiping your ass would be a very painful experience. Also knowing that regular prosthetics are hella expensive and not very durable already, I don't see these become commonplace easily.
>>
>>64302905
could chink shills make more subtle posts in tge near future?

You could use synthetic muscle, it's come a long way, stretch synthetic skin over it and you probably couldn't even tell at first glance it's not a real hamd, the problem is powering it
>>
>>64302905
Not sure about enhanced. But possible it becomes a thing. Though I can see it coming with commitments for the investment.
>>64302920
Depends on the country and service, western ones might view it as a moral point. China would view it as too expensive. I exclude Russia because i don't think hey will be a real country in the next few years.

Not to mention a morale point. Losing an arm or leg would Suck but getting a cool robot limb would take the edge off. You can go back to a mostly normal life.

A robotic limb can only be so powerful when it's attached to human flesh and bone.
>>
>>64302905
no, absolutely not. I mean, like not in the next 40 years kind of "no." We're not even in the infant stages of that and there's little to no interest in accelerating existing programs

>take wounded soldier
>muscles are fucked
>nerves are fucked
>skeletal system may or may not be fucked
>each wounded soldier is a unique collection of fucked bio-systems
>put $400k into enhancing implants
>requires brain augmentation to accept electrical stimuli from outside source
>if it was minor we could use the body to power it
>by nature of the fact that we are replacing bio systems and limbs on wounded soldiers, this shit is not minor
>literally needs a battery
>weeks of testing on each individual to make sure systems are connected properly and they don't get killed within hours of deploying after all of this investment
>heavy pain medication
>anti-rejection meds so body doesn't fight all of the foreign objects we just put in it
>immune system is now suppressed, can barely be deployed
>body weight is now unbalanced, need to compensate and train just to move again
>gets wiped by a localized anti-drone EMP on first post-surgery deployment
>limbs stop moving because sand got in a joint
>body tearing itself apart because supply lines got fucked and anti-rejection meds couldn't get to them

All of this just to function at 1-10% improvement over a regular soldier depending on the application with significantly more vulnerabilities. So basically, even if we had the ability it would be dumb and expensive. Besides, there would never be a situation where human lives are in such short supply but money, tech, and support staff are bursting at the seams to throw at something like this. Those doctors would be dead by then

You're retarded. Your brain doesn't care if it is smacking a wall of bone or a wall of metal.
>>
>>64319333
So long as you don't try to bench press a forklift you should be fine. Just punching and grabbing(crushing)things shouldn't pose a problem. Though if you want to punch holes in concrete you'd also need a cyber shoulder.
>>
>>64319419
So you're saying we should just scoop the brain out and hook it up to a robot body?
