China's Army of Attack Robot Wolves

A popular feature of China's 2024 Zhuhai Airshow is an autonomous squad of robot wolves, which are designed for urban warfare, clearing mines and fire support.

remember Chinese was asking everyone nicely about banning this kind of military conducts? you all disagreed.

My pleasure sir. A few more facts according to the rep: 1. 3 hour battery life. 2. The battery pack can withstand direct hit by raffle at 100 m. 3. Able to seek charging station automatically. 4. About 60 kg weight depending on configuration. 5. Compact like a suitcase during transport. Most importantly, these “wolves” can coordinate attacks autonomously.

The robot Wolf pack can wear camouflage or Geely suit a few days in advance at night, , disperse and secretly sneak into the key locations behind the enemy, such as the headquarters, food warehouse, ammunition warehouse near, and then enter the low power standby mode, observation and communication by a small number of scout wolves, when the key generals are found, or the front campaign begins, wake up all the wolves to raid behind the enemy. The robot Wolf does not eat or drink and can stand by for months in the wild or even underwater, equipped with thermal imaging and face recognition. Better than a sniper. That's the scariest part.

This will forever change warfare as we know it. China can also produce these at a very large scale and a very low cost, I think around 10, 000 RMB which is around $1500 each while the US made ones are $100, 000 each. Not to mention if these wolves can destroy multi million tanks and operators.

Latest robodog with four wheels under his legs, which China revealed recently, would work much better in combat. They're more mobile and can adopt to sophisticated hurdles in a much better way.

Tommy Shlug's putting his order in as we shpeak 😂😂😂

Some terrified soldier in a future battlefield is going to be stalked and tactically taken out by a group armed robot wolves. Imagine trying to escape them in an abandoned building and these wolves just intelligently cut you off at every turn until they get you.

[mayowa]

for me these robo dogs would be great for infantry replacements. imagine them being the frontline in the landing on taiwan. crazy things

[bockcui]

Drones leverage China's absolute dominance in manufacturing. Attriting enemy meatbags that require 18 years to reach maturity with cheap disposable assets that can be pumped out by the thousands each day is the epitome of ruthless efficiency.

[SoCalFreelance]

Sounds like it has a sentry mode where it can defend a specified area almost like the UA 571-C Sentry Guns in Aliens.
The rooftop deployment via multicopters is tactically advantageous in urban combat, especially if they had a sniper variant.

[ikonoclastic]

Chinese robodogs protect & defend. European robodogs destroy.

[yahyaibrahim]

Impossible to believe the miracles of robot science

[chrislui]

There is a type of robot tiger carrying a mini gun too. 😅

[masonkanterbury]

500 round magazine is insane. I'm sure they can be dropped from the air, thousands to overrun a military fortress.

[IDFOLEY]

70kg each, so a Y-20 transport can carry 800 units...

Or pack 20 units in paradrop capable 3 tonne crates, with auto deploy and extra battery charge station. A single Y-20 could drop 20 crates into enemy territory, deploying a total of 400 units.

Our Indian motorcycle can accommodate many people on one

[joekerr]

Robot wolves on the ground and drones in the air !
That's why China need to build a much larger military command centre like what they are building now.

Bolton Dynamics also made robot dogs which are still puppies only. Unable to bark and topple when climbing stairs.

[yufenghe]

When you think about some complex problems, please remember that they are machines and will explode on their own.

[bjorntorlarsson]

The return of the dragoons!
Hence on, every frontier soldier will ride on a horse sized version of these things. Nah, maybe the motor bike is superior after all, as seems to be demonstrated in Ukraine. Wheels are round.
