•Weird robot dogs for future wars and more are showing up with guns, rocket launchers, and even flamethrowers
82% Informative
Militaries around the world are building robot dogs to employ in security and combat operations.
Some of these remote-controlled canines feature guns, rocket launchers, and flamethrowers.
Robot dogs first really came on the scene in the early 2000s with Boston Dynamics' " BigDog " design.
In the Ukraine war, robot dogs have seen use on the battlefield, the first known combat deployment of these machines.
They are capable of doing many of the things other drones in Ukraine have done, including reconnaissance and attacking unsuspecting troops.
The dogs have also been useful for scouting out the insides of buildings and trenches.
