It’s a dramatic moment when a Chinese drone drops a killer robot dog into a war zone amid growing tensions with Taiwan.
The footage shows a mechanical dog with a gun landing on a rooftop in an urban area before coming to life.

The chilling clip, which predicts the future of war, shows a four-legged robot trotting around its new surroundings.
Ready for combat, the bionic dog behaves like a Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun mounted on its back, according to WarZone.
The terrifying weapon can fire up to 650 rounds per minute.
The video was uploaded from a verified Weibo account “Kestrel Defense Blood-Wing”, which appears to be directly linked to the Chinese company Kestrel Defense.
Military contractors claim they are using “heavy drones to deliver canine combat robots” that can expertly ambush the enemy.
The boastful description adds that the robot-dogs can be “placed on top of the enemy to take over commanding heights and suppress firepower.”
He further suggests that they are intended to be deployed in urban areas during assault operations to assist troops on the ground.
The disturbing images come amid warnings that China could invade Taiwan with swarms of high-tech drones and up to a million troops.
The People’s Liberation Army is rapidly modernizing, investing heavily in modern technology and drones.
Experts fear that President Xi Jinping is planning a devastating offensive by arming his army to the teeth with advanced weaponry.
China showed off its artillery in recent footage showing a small reconnaissance drone and a soldier in an exoskeleton.
China has supersonic spy drones, larger drones designed to shoot down US warships, and even drones designed to hunt soldiers in packs are being developed.
Arms analyst Sam Cranny-Evans said Beijing is already using elite spy drones to carry out clandestine missions over Taiwan.
He said the tactical drone chosen by the Asian power plant was the BKZ-006A, which was used for reconnaissance and could also act as an electronic warfare and communications relay.
Crannie-Evans explained that in the event of an invasion, Taiwan could face long-range precision missile strikes and aerial bombardments combined with cyber attacks, electronic warfare and a naval blockade.
This came after Taipei’s foreign minister said Beijing would step up efforts to get rid of the country’s 14 remaining allies.
Once Xi is elected to a third term, his cronies seeking approval are expected to do their best to impress and “show loyalty” to the president.
Taiwanese Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said, “Our diplomatic situation may be getting bleaker.
“We have seen warning information. We hope that our diplomatic relations will not be affected by China.
“All our embassies and missions are now under increased surveillance … We will check the information and take advantageous measures to strengthen diplomatic relations.
“Regardless of whether China decides that next year, the year after next, 2025, 2027, 2030 or any other time when it considers that the conditions are ripe for an attack on Taiwan, the most important thing for us is to be well prepared to defend “.
China considers Taiwan part of its territory and has vowed to unite with the mainland, by force if necessary.
Taiwan is indeed an independent country, but any movement towards full independence will almost certainly lead to war.
In the summer, during a visit to the island by American politician Nancy Pelosi, China responded with large-scale military exercises.
Pelosi is a staunch supporter of Taiwan, and her trip made her the most senior US politician to visit Taiwan in a quarter of a century, infuriating China.
