Russia Shows Off Robo-Dog With RPG At Military Convention

Russia displayed new and experimental technologies at its annual
defense convention at the Patriot Center near Moscow.

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered an opening speech at the
Military and Technical Forum ARMY 2022 on Tuesday, organized by the
Russian Ministry of Defense, and said that over "28,000 modern samples
of military and dual-use products" are being showcased by
approximately 1,500 Russian manufacturers to defense officials from 72
countries.

In the speech, Putin continued:

    "We are ready to offer our allies and partners the most modern
types of weapons, from small arms to armored vehicles and artillery,
from warplanes to drones. These guns are in demand among military
professionals all over the world for their reliability, quality, and
most importantly, their high efficiency. Almost all of them have been
used many times in real military operations."

One of the most modern types of weapons that Putin was referring to
appears to be an intelligent four-legged robo-dog wielding an RPG-26
rocket launcher on its back.

Videos of Russian engineering company Intellect Machine's M-81 robotic
system roaming the convention center floors with a rocket launcher
went viral on social media.

    A robot dog with a grenade launcher on his back appeared at the
forum. This is a Chinese technology, the cost is about 1 million
rubles(16,161.75 US Dollars). Robopes became the star of the first day
of the forum. pic.twitter.com/lCnJkHpgun

This would not be the first time the West's adversaries have displayed
a robo-dog for war. Last month, a video surfaced on social media of a
Chinese robot dog by Hangzhou-based company Unitree Robotics with a
machine gun mounted on its back.

    All the people who laughed off the “worrywarts” years ago for
freaking out about the Funny Dancing Robot Dogs (tm) should be forced
to watch this video once a day for the remainder of the year.

    It seems @RosatomGlobal has exhibited models of 152mm & 203mm
tactical #nuclear #artillery shells at #Army2022 in #Russia .
Signalling going out here !
    Also products depicted are often for sale to "friends" , some
203mm nuclear artillery wouldn't be a bad thing to have you know.
