August 6 – Beijing:
China has officially unveiled its latest generation of military robots, dubbed “Wolves”, designed for high-precision offensive operations and deployment in rugged terrain.
According to Chinese state media on Wednesday, August 6, these four-legged robotic units, equipped with firearms, are engineered for frontline infiltration, precise attacks, and maneuverability in difficult environments.
The robots represent an advanced evolution of earlier robotic dog models, and are intended to reduce human casualties by performing high-risk battlefield tasks traditionally handled by soldiers, reports state broadcaster CCTV.
⚙️ Combat-Ready and Agile on the Battlefield
In footage broadcast by CCTV, a “Wolf” robot equipped with a mounted rifle is shown moving across a smoke-filled training field, climbing stairs, carrying heavy backpacks, and conducting rapid-fire attacks on practice targets.
The robots are capable of operating in complex environments, carrying out precise strikes at distances of up to 100 meters, and performing in coordinated units similar to a wolf pack, with each robot assigned specialized roles.
🧠 Coordination Like a Wolf Pack
One robot, known as the “pack commander,” is positioned at the front line to gather intelligence and relay reconnaissance imagery. Other robots in the group carry out attack, support, or logistics roles, such as transporting ammunition.
CCTV noted that while the robots resemble robotic dogs, they are significantly enhanced in their reconnaissance and combat capabilities, allowing them to operate semi-autonomously and adapt to a variety of terrains.
🔍 A Glimpse Into the Battlefield of the Future
Chong Ja Ian, a professor at the National University of Singapore, stated that the deployment of such robots suggests a major shift in the future of warfare, where automated systems will play a larger role and potentially increase the destructive nature of conflicts.
“The unveiling of these robots is not just about technology,” he added. “It also serves political and psychological purposes—boosting national pride domestically and projecting fear to potential adversaries abroad.”
💡 China Leading in Robotic Military Innovation?
China has made massive investments in military robotics in recent years. Some experts believe that in terms of development and innovation, China may have already surpassed the United States.
As part of its broader effort to showcase defense capabilities, the Chinese military has also demonstrated these four-legged robots during joint military drills with countries like Cambodia.
