1. Hmmm. How soon will they be ‘deployed’ through our southern border?

2. I’m far more concerned that the US GOVERNMENT has these too and ALSO is planning on using them against us.

3. Boston Dynamics did this four years ago. With terrible results. The robot could not compensate for the recoil. Couldn’t hit shit. I’m sure they’ve overcome that problem by now. The Chicoms? Only if the stole the solution from Boston Dynamics.

4. I wonder how much stolen tech is in the robot dogs with all those Chinese spies working at DARPA.

7. I tried to post a couple links with machine guns mounted on mechanical mutts. It’s being moderated. If it pops up a couple of them are pretty entertaining.

11. @Brad — IMO, robot “dogs” would be best in an anti-materiel role than an anti-personnel role. Give ’em something like the 75mm M-20 recoilless rifle in an integral axial mount.

    …and you thought YOUR dog’s farts were deadly!

12. They’ve put rocket and grenade launchers on the robo-mutts.

13. Uncle Al

    They’ve done that. In fact they have one the strapped a flame thrower to. Mans best friend. LOL

14. I figured they’d be robots. They eat the regular kind.

15. I got one of these from Amazon. Took care of my squirrel problem.

16. The war theater is SE Asia. Why not robot elephants? Hannibal used real ones, but they panicked and ran the wrong way and caused chaos. A robot war elephant is called for.

    A robot elephant could mount much bigger armaments. It could use its long trunk as a howitzer. Replace its feet with tracks just like a tank. Mount a machine gun on top of its head. Get rid of the big ears, you don’t need them. Or the tail either. Give it a big engine that will allow it to go 65 MPH.

    Volia! You got yourself a modern war elephant.

17. Maybe some fish nets are in order for our aluminum four leg friends?
