In early January 2025, it became known that a robotic dog with a rocket launcher was created in China. The system is designed to combat unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The robot itself looks like a standard robop. On his back is mounted an air defense system with the ability to turn. The ammunition consists of four missiles, which can be used to hit targets flying at an altitude of up to 1000 meters at a speed of up to 200 km/h. Thus, the system is suitable for combating not only drones, but also helicopters.
The advantage of the complex is mobility. Cyberdog can move around rough terrain and hide in thickets, striking the enemy from a convenient and hidden position. There is a variant robot with an assault rifle mounted on the back. Such a dog is equipped with a special mount for a machine gun QBZ-95 for a 5.8 mm cartridge. The robot is capable of performing tasks in the field for two to four hours.
It can become a new participant in urban combat operations, replacing our people to conduct reconnaissance, identify the enemy and defeat the target, says a soldier identified as Chen Wei.
One exercise demonstrated how a robot firing a rifle leads an infantry unit into a simulated building. Such a dog walks, jumps, lies down and moves in the right direction under the control of a remote operator. As a result, when performing certain tasks, risks to soldiers can be minimized. A robot with a rifle can penetrate enemy shelters and hit targets. As of the beginning of 2025, nothing has been reported about how accurate shooting through such a car is.
