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.

Come dogs, and I will feed you flesh !
What about ill-tempered sea bass.
Couldn’t they put a little dog head helmet on that thing?
I know the controls would not be inside the fake dog head, but just for aesthetics. Maybe even a “Virtual Barking” system too. A dog without barking is not really a DOG-dog.
Fahrenheit 451....
Looks like they reverse engineered something from Boston Dynamics.
Exploding trees.
Except maybe eagles with napalm
But can they extract and produce the next China bug from them to unleash upon the world?
a good time to start manufacturing robot squirrels
Cry ‘Havoc!’, and let slip the armadillos of war.
That episode was terrifying as all f*ck.
Yes. Nightmare material.
Once the drone robot soldiers are perfected the thugs won’t have to risk themselves any more when going door to door and putting people on box cars.
Marine MARSOC units are already using armed -autonomous- robodogs for perimter patrols and tunnel work. Yawn for Chicom Playstation dogs.
