China used its recent Victory Day parade in Beijing to show off a new wave of advanced weapons and systems. Among the most eye-catching were four-legged ground robots known as “robot wolves”. These machines attracted global attention because they represent a leap forward in how the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) could fight future wars. Designed to work with human soldiers or operate on their own, the robots are part of a wider modernisation drive that also includes new missiles and drones. Later in the parade, China also unveiled the JL-1 air-launched ballistic missile, boosting its nuclear capabilities.
What the Robot Wolves are
The robot wolves are four-legged unmanned ground vehicles built by China South Industries Group Corporation. Each weighs about 70 kilograms and is designed to handle several combat roles. They can carry weapons, transport ammunition or supplies, scout enemy positions, and support troops directly. Their design allows them to climb stairs, cross rough terrain, and move with infantry soldiers during operations. Footage from demonstrations showed the robots advancing through smoke-filled areas, carrying rifles mounted on their backs, and firing at simulated targets from up to 100 metres away.
