This suit, which is called TALOS(The Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit), will probably be the closest we can get. This high-tech armor has drawn comparison to the Iron Man suit because of the similar design and innovative technological features. While the suit has no flight capabilities, it offers plenty of amazing features that would make Tony Stark himself proud. Features like: liquid armor that could turn solid in mil-seconds to protect from gunfire and explosive ordinance, sprays medical foam on a sustained injury, and keeps track of your vitals. TALOS is being developed for military use. The suits could be delivered to special operations forces as early as June for testing. If everything goes according to plan, the suits are projected to be deployed in the field by August 2018. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOPcWD_vx70

I don't get that reference. Anyway the greatest fear about this is what would happen if a drunk Amercian got their hands on this..

Well, seeing as how the military seems to have been taking loads of inspiration from sci-fi, why not?

I think this is more similar to Fallout's Powered armor than to Iron Man's flight suit, buuuuuut regardless, it's still pretty awesome. So yeah.
