China creates a dangerous robot, a drone that drops a robodog with a huge gun anywhere

A video showing a Chinese-made drone carrying a dangerous robot has begun to circulate on social media, and it appears to be a scene from a futuristic war film. As seen in the viral video that a four-legged robot was dropped by a drone that carried a huge gun around.

Although it's not immediately clear whether the video was shot as part of a Chinese military practice or more likely as an attempt to demonstrate how the pairing will work, even without that information, the scene may provide a glimpse of the robot technology that could be used on future battlefields. China creates a dangerous robot, the one-minute video was first published on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo by a user who was either connected to or standing in for the regional defense business that, according to reports, produces the drone being used to launch the robot weapon, a robodog.

The customized semiautomatic assault rifle that the robot appears to be holding has been the standard service rifle for China's paramilitary organizations and the People's Liberation Army since 1995.

The drone is seen in the prologue of the video approaching the rooftop of a building in a plain urban setting while carrying a small, armed robot dog underneath its frame. The drone releases the robodog before taking off, operating as a sort of robotic dropship, and landing on the roof. The dangerous robot soon unfolds from its folded state and starts traversing its new environs with what appears to be a Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun attached to its back (known as a Type 95 LGM in the United States).

The 5.8x42mm QBB-97 shares around 70% of its components with the QBZ-95 assault rifle used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Its longer, heavier barrel with a folding bipod and capacity for sustained bursts of automatic fire is what most distinguish it from the assault rifle.

Although the machine gun version is compatible with the 30-round box magazine used by its assault rifle cousin, the drum magazine seen in the video can carry up to 80 rounds. The QBB-97 is competent, albeit somewhat constrained, a weapon that can shoot up to 650 rounds per minute, however it is unclear how firing it from a robodog would operate.

According to the defense business, the drone, which Kestrel calls the Red Wing, may sneak behind enemy lines and launch a "surprise strike" by dropping the robot dog. And those robots with four legs are designed to resemble dogs.

"War dogs flying overhead, air assault, Red Wing", according to an English translation of the caption for the video, "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 enemy's roof to occupy the commanding heights to suppress firepower.

The drone-robodog combination was designed with the intention that it may be used during assault operations, particularly in metropolitan areas, at the very least it can be inferred from the additional color provided by this description. In these circumstances, which frequently consist of big buildings and intricate structures that are challenging to breach, it appears that the corporation believes this skill could be most useful. The Weibo account has also posted further videos of several robodogs in related locations, indicating that the business specialized in technology made with these settings in mind.

The caption adds, "And ground soldiers launch a three-dimensional pincer attack on the enemy within the building."

China's robots frequently make the rounds on English-language social media, but nowadays they follow a somewhat darker route than when they used to wear goofy little hats and dance together. It is also simple to understand why movies of murderous robots draw so much interest on the internet given the rising tensions of the so-called "New Cold War," which pits the United States and its allies against Russia, China, and Iran.

Given that Atlas can do backflips and is now highly nimble, Boston Dynamics is, of course, the name most intimately link with America's prospective robot insurrection. However, Boston Dynamics is not the company creating the robot killers of the future for the American military. Boston Dynamics even committed to stopping producing deadly devices only last week

The Multi-Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT), introduced in 2016, is an example of a less agile robot-controlled death machine that the U.S. military is developing on its own.

While MUTT may be more maneuverable, Ghost Robotics also produces a Spot-like robot for the American military. Of course, its quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) aren't yet being shown off with potent weapons.
