China shows armed robot dog at military drills

A video made during a China-Cambodia military exercise called Golden Dragon 2024 shows a robot dog with an automatic rifle mounted on its back. Although this is not the first video with an armed robot dog, it is the first shot during an actual exercise with two national armies.
