Chinese Defense Contractor Showcases Drone Airborne Assault That Leaves Robot Trooper on Rooftop

If you had “China develops drone delivery-capable armed military robot dog” on your 2022 bingo card, congratulations, this is your year.

A concept described earlier this year by the New York Post as “dystopian nightmare fodder,” an armed robotic dog, or “Robodog,” is reportedly now able to be transported via drone behind enemy lines, providing a distinct advantage to military units attempting to penetrate tightly defended positions on the battlefield.

Alleged footage of the armed Robodog being delivered via drone spread across social media earlier this month. According to The Warzone, it was originally posted on the popular Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo.

The video, posted by a Twitter user called Lia Wong, appeared under the caption “Blood-Wing, a Chinese defense contractor, demonstrates drone-deploying an armed robodog. The Future is Now.”

An original description of the Robodog/drone tech from Weibo was translated by The Warzone.

“War dogs descending from the sky, air assault, Red Wing Forward heavy-duty drones deliver combat robot dogs, which can be directly inserted into the weak link behind the enemy to launch a surprise attack or can be placed on the roof of the enemy to occupy the commanding heights to suppress firepower. And ground troops [can] conduct a three-dimensional pincer attack on the enemy in the building,” the description read.
