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.

If it’s like most things the Chinese make it won’t be long before it breaks.

Obviously, they've been studying the Boston Dynamics Robot dog. They've been out for some time.

They probably bought one and reverse engineered it.

What? Did they run out of real dogs?

Don’t forget Nigeria and a few other African bases to the Chinese.

Those things look pretty top-heavy. I wonder if they can right themselves if they are knocked over.

So how many rounds of ammunition do they carry and what do they do when they run out or there is a jam?
