A video developed by a Chinese military contractor showcasing its horrifying new military equipment revealed a robot attack dog that could be delivered by a drone.

A drone flies over a building before dumping a robot on the roof in the footage that was first made public on the verified Weibo account of "Rotorcraft Defense Blood-Wing," a page connected to a Chinese defense contractor.

China Makes War Robot Dog

After the drone takes off, the robot dog stands up on four legs and starts scanning the building for targets while holding what look to be automatic guns on its back.

The weapon carried by the robot dog may be a Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun, which can fire 650 rounds per minute at a useful range of 400 meters, according to a report from WarZone.

According to Fox News via Yahoo, the robot dog's description, which was automatically translated to English and released by Kestrel Defense Blood-Wing, boasts that it can quickly "launch a surprise strike."

Military specialists worry that systems in which robots built to function autonomously are in development and might soon be used on battlefields, despite the fact that the Chinese technology and other comparable weapons have up to now been meant to be operated by a person at the controls.

Per NY Post, military specialists worry that systems in which robots built to function autonomously are in development and might soon be used on battlefields, despite the fact that the Chinese technology and other comparable weapons have up to now been meant to be operated by a person at the controls.

As the military that develops them would be able to drop them deep behind enemy lines into regions that were previously too risky or impossible to access for human soldiers, autonomous weapons systems will be extremely lethal for opposing forces.

China-Taiwan Tension

Beijing will now step up attempts to get rid of the nation's 14 remaining allies, according to Taipei's foreign minister. The validation-seeking minions of Chinese President Xi Jinping will most doubt go above and above to astound and "display allegiance" to the President now that he has achieved a third term in office.

Joseph Wu, the senior diplomat for Taiwan, warned that things may become worse diplomatically since China considers Taiwan to be a part of its territory and has promised to reunite it with the mainland using force if necessary.

Although Taiwan is technically autonomous, any attempts to achieve full independence will almost probably result in conflict, as per The Sun.

China responded to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island during the summer with significant military expenditures. Pelosi, a fervent admirer of Taiwan, made history by becoming the highest-ranking US official to go to Taiwan in 25 years, angering China.
