China has unveiled robotic dogs designed for military reconnaissance and combat, showcased for the first time during the joint Sino-Cambodian 'Golden Dragon-2024' military exercise.

In the recently released footage, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) presented two advanced robot dogs.

One robot dog specializes in reconnaissance, capable of detecting problems and gathering intelligence, while the other is equipped with an automatic rifle, able to rapidly advance, target, and shoot.

Chinese media highlighted that this technology places China ahead of other nations, including the U.S., in developing robotic fighting machines.

The exercise video demonstrates the versatility of these robotic dogs, from collecting military intelligence to sending high-definition images and thermal data to command posts in real-time.

Their AI design allows them to autonomously navigate obstacles and choose optimal paths for reconnaissance, ensuring efficient mission completion.

The armed robotic dog can conduct street fighting and ambushes from concealed locations, reducing risks to human soldiers.

Although the U.S. pioneered robot dog development, they eventually discontinued the project, leaving China to advance in this field.

China has unveiled robotic dogs to be used by the military in reconnaissance and fighting.

The dogs of war were seen in recently unveiled footage from the joint Sino-Cambodian 'Golden Dragon-2024' military exercise in which the People's Liberation Army (PLA) publicly displayed the two robot dogs for the first time.

One of the robotic dogs specialises in sniffing out problems and is to be used for reconnaissance, while the other carries an automatic rifle on its back and moves forward quickly and rapidly while at the same time targeting and shooting.

Chinese media said that the footage confirmed that the Communist state was ahead of other rivals including the U.S. in the development of robotic fighting machines.

According to the exercise video, the dogs of war are versatile ranging from collecting military intelligence to sending high-definition images and thermal imaging data to the command operation posts in real-time.

They said that artificial intelligence (AI) design enables them to autonomously bypass obstacles and choose the optimal reconnaissance path to ensure efficient completion of the mission.

Meanwhile, The fighting dog can carry out streetfighting and ambushes from concealed places that are too risky to put human soldiers at risk.

The U.S. was the first country to develop the robot dog, but they later dropped the development project du
