China unveiled robot dogs with machine guns that could replace soldiers.

The robots can navigate obstacles and fire at targets.

The move aligns with China’s increased military budget and global shift toward robotic warfare.

China has showcased robot dogs capable of firing machine guns in the latest display of its military prowess.

The remote-controlled robots were unveiled during a military training exercise conducted by China and Cambodia earlier this month.

According to a video shared by state broadcaster CCTV, the battery-operated robodogs can function independently for between two and four hours and are capable of moving forward and backward, lying down, and jumping.

      They would have to, it has no auxiliary power reserves at all.

      They could turn off the giant speakers blasting music all the time, but let’s be realistic, that’s not what modern warfare is about.

        I read that during our invasion of Iraq, the Army and Marines blasted Led Zeppelin from their APCs, because somehow rock and roll music discouraged the Iraqi soldiers. Psychological warfare, yo!

        Edit: I probably should have said “the USA invasion of Iraq” and not “our”. Idk if you’re American. Oh well! The point remains the same.
