How China’s gun-toting robodogs are looking to change combat forever

[RYAN ROBERTSON]

FROM MAN’S BEST FRIEND TO KILLING MACHINE.

THESE GUN-TOTING ROBODOGS STOLE THE SHOW DURING JOINT DRILLS BETWEEN CAMBODIAN AND CHINESE TROOPS.

THESE DOGS DIDN’T BITE– THIS TIME– REPORTEDLY NOT FIRING A SINGLE SHOT DURING THE MILITARY EXERCISES–KNOWN AS GOLDEN DRAGON. 

THE DYSTOPIAN-LOOKING K9S DID DEMONSTRATE THEIR MASTERY OF WALKING, HOPPING AND LYING DOWN.

THE CHINESE MILITARY SAYS THE ROBO-DOGS WILL REPLACE SOME HUMANS IN COMBAT…BY IDENTIFYING THREATS, CONDUCTING RECONNAISSANCE AND STRIKING TARGETS.

IT’S MEANT TO TAKE POINT FOR INFANTRY– SNIFFING OUT DANGERS HOPEFULLY BEFORE THEY CAN HURT FRIENDLY TROOPS.

THE DESIRE BY THE PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY TO SHOW OFF THE NEW TECH ON ITS HEAVILY RESTRICTED SOCIAL MEDIA– COULD SIGNAL A BREAKTHROUGH IN THE TECHNOLOGY…OR JUST MORE PROPAGANDA. 

STATE-RUN MEDIA SAYS THE PRESENCE OF THE DOGS ALONGSIDE FOREIGN MILITARIES SHOWS IT MAY BE IN THE ADVANCED STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT. 

CHINA’S NOT ALONE IN ITS EFFORTS WITH ROBODOGS.

THE U-S AIR FORCE DEMONSTRATED THE ABILITY OF ROBODOGS TO QUICKLY DETECT ENEMY THREATS AND FOR SCOUTING.

THIS YEAR’S GOLDEN DRAGON EXERCISES BETWEEN CHINA AND CAMBODIA CONSISTED OF TWO-THOUSAND TROOPS USING14 WARSHIPS, TWO CHOPPERS AND 69 ARMORED VEHICLES…AS WELL AS THE POWERFUL POOCHES.
