CHINA had a test run with its newest military addition - robot dogs equipped with machine guns on their back.
The machine gun robodogs are going through drills for a 15-day exercise called Golden Dragon with Chinese and Cambodian troops.
Golden Dragon was held in central Kampong Chhnang Province and at sea off Preah Sihanouk Province, Agence France-Presse reported last week.
The training mission consists of over 2,000 troops, 14 warships, two helicopters, and 69 armored vehicles/tanks alongside the remote-controlled four-legged robot dogs with automatic rifles.
The troops are also working on live-fire, anti-terrorism, and humanitarian rescue drills are included.
The machine gun robodogs reportedly did not shoot off any fire.
They only were demonstrated walking, not shooting, to journalists and military officials.
Cambodian armed forces commander-in-chief Vong Pisen stated the drills aim to enhance anti-terrorism capabilities.
Cambodia insists it will never allow a foreign military base on its territory which other leaders from the country have also stated.
After dismantling US-funded facilities at the Ream naval base, China began funding its renovation.

Well if they are operated using Baofeng radios, then we got nothing to worry about.

The next Tienanmen Square incident will be interesting.

Tarkus.
Cry havoc! and let loose the dogs of war, that this foul deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial.
Still waiting for the sharks with frickin lasers on their heads.
There was a scary, post-apocalyptic episode of Black Mirror featuring similar robot dogs.
Nothing beats sharks with lasers...
“The machine gun robodogs reportedly did not shoot off any fire.”
Is this a machine translation? This is not English.

“After dismantling US-funded facilities at the Ream naval base, China began funding its renovation.”
So we’ve given up bases to the Russians, the Taliban and now the Chinese. Sounds like we are retreating all over the world. That is not good.
Tarkus on steroids?
The ChiComs are going to find out that Prime Directive #4 isn’t going to prevent them from being annihilated by the monster they are creating.
