China Showcases Rifle-Mounted Robot Dogs in Joint Military Drills

The robotic canines, capable of reconnaissance and combat, were demonstrated during exercises with Cambodia.

China's state broadcaster CCTV released footage of rifle-equipped robot dogs during the 'Golden Dragon' military exercise.
The robots, developed by Unitree, can operate for up to four hours and perform various movements including jumping and lying down.
These robot dogs are designed to replace human soldiers in urban combat scenarios, conducting reconnaissance and engaging targets.
China's military also showcased drones with similar combat capabilities, highlighting advancements in AI and robotics.
The use of such technology is part of a broader trend in modern warfare, with similar developments seen in the US and other nations.
