China’s largest-ever military drills with Cambodia on Thursday included a showcase performance by the literal dogs of war — a squad of robot dogs with automatic rifles mounted on their backs.
A Chinese research team published a study in February that found robodogs equipped with 7.62mm guns firing 750 rounds per minute could achieve respectable accuracy at ranges up to a hundred meters, equaling or exceeding the average accuracy of human riflemen. “Chinese robotic dogs can now navigate stairs, perform acrobatic feats such as backflips, traverse garbage dumps or tropical rainforests, and maintain a continuous run for nearly four hours while carrying a 20kg load,” theAmerican quadruped platforms appear to be somewhat more sophisticated for the time being, but China is catching up rapidly and its manufacturing advantages allow it to deliver field-ready units at prices far lower than U.S. companies.
The Cambodians responded to these concerns by insisting their constitution bans the deployment of foreign military forces on their soil, and the Chinese ships were merely “testing” the new pier China helped to construct at Ream.Voice of America News on Thursday that Cambodia’s denials were disingenuous, and China will almost certainly develop a permanent military presence at the Ream base.
