China deploys ‘Robot Soldiers’ along the border with India
2022-04-14


China is deploying robots equipped with machine guns along the border with India. A report claims that China is replacing soldiers with these machines - as the Chinese troops are unable to cope with the high altitudes.

Don’t worry. These robots are made in China.
The China-Indian border is up in the Himalayas on a glacier. I would be shocked if Chinese robots worked under such conditions. Note that this video is dated 30. December, 2021, so they should know by now whether the silly things work at altitude.

#8  Short Circuit, 1986.

Including Sci-Fi: in, through, and beyond Black Hole 1979.

I thought a series of Sentinels, if you will, along transit routes in Afghan with cameras, range finders (locators) and stand off weapons would have been nice. Bonus if in the guise of 1840 East India Company Troopers.

#7  I had wondered when we would get the idea of sacrificing and slaughtering robots instead of our young men.

China has begun deploying robotic vehicles armed with machine guns.

Sounds like the discussion we were having about Tanks vs Drones and RCV's over the last few days has come to fruition.
