China's machine gun-mounted robot dogs - delivered by drone

A private military contractor has created a new terrifying weapon for China’s military - a robot dog fitted with a machine gun.

As if that wasn't terrifying enough, the robodog can be transported via drone, with a video showing the dog standing up and moving around on the roof of a building.

The video was shared on social media platform Weibo from a verified account of the private Chinese Military contractor.

"War dogs descend from the sky!" the post said.

"The heavy-duty drones can deliver combat dogs, to be directly inserted behind enemy lines and spring surprise attacks on weak links.

"They can also be placed on the rooftops and work with troops on the ground to ambush enemies inside buildings."

Let's just hope it doesn't see a robotic cat.

My first thought was Fahrenheit 451 by Bradbury “In Ray Bradbury's novel, Fahrenheit 451, the Mechanical Hound is an eight-legged robotic “dog” used to track down fugitives like the protagonist Montag. It represents the misuse of governmental authority and the corruption of technology.”

Anybody else hearing the opening drums from the Terminator theme in their head...

Coming to a disobedient civilian neighborhood near you - What happens in China is already and will come to the US too.

Imagine hacking it and turning it rougue against its own army

[gavingiant]

Can it fire and still stand up right, and aim properly with the recoil?

Drone blocking tech coming on line for every threat a counter measure is developed except for my mother in law

I used to think Terminator was far fetched rubbish...

A certain episode of 'Black Mirror' comes to mind. It didn't end well ...

[FINRedAngel]

this is completly dumb we already know what happen when a robot dog shoot... HE FALL!

[cypeman]

I wouldn't imagine that would be hard to put out of action, turn a hose pipe on it like you do a real dog.

[mikesk]

terminator series is becoming a reality. The end is near people

[krosfyah]

From man’s best friend to man’s worst enemy, what a weird time to be alive

[peaceraybob]

I wonder what Boston Dynamics thinks about this?

[chillout]

The designers and makers of these things clearly don't watch movies. Robots always become self aware, go rogue, take over, and wipe out all humans. Why are we stubbornly persisting down this road? smh

Flash backs to the recent War of the Worlds TV series.
