Robot dog equipped with submachine gun is ‘dystopian’ nightmare fodder

Man’s virtual best friend — or mankind’s greatest nightmare?

Video of a robotic dog equipped with a submachine gun is circulating social media — months after a man living in Russia posted frightening footage of the dystopian killing machine on YouTube.

“All the people who laughed off the ‘worrywarts’ years ago for freaking out about the Funny Dancing Robot Dogs ™ should be forced to watch this video once a day for the remainder of the year,” a Twitter user posted Wednesday.

The 84-second viral clip, which has been viewed more than 4.3 million times, shows the robotic dog firing a machine gun and running rapidly across bricks in front of a snowy field. At one point, the killing machine opens fire — with intense recoil knocking it back onto its hind legs.

The footage also shows the dog — which sports a Russian flag on one side — advancing near a military vehicle.

And the answer to the question of why would anyone need a bazooka presents itself.

RPG should get rid of something like that.

On the flip side...that could make one heck of a watch dog.
