Images have emerged of large-scale training exercises in which "Wolf Robots," equipped not only with the ability to conduct reconnaissance and remove obstacles in dangerous environments instead of humans but also with lethal capabilities against humans, were deployed. On November 4, Yonhap News, citing China Central Television (CCTV), reported that the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) amphibious units conducted training exercises involving the large-scale deployment of "Wolf Robots." CCTV's national defense military channel introduced scenes showing the "Huangchaoling Hero Company" of the Southern Theater Command Army, an amphibious mechanized infantry unit, shifting its traditional tactics. Instead of deploying infantry after amphibious assault vehicles stormed the beach, they now deployed a large number of Wolf Robots.

This is the first time that Wolf Robots have been deployed in Chinese military amphibious unit training. Recently, the Chinese military has mobilized three types of unmanned equipment in amphibious exercises. First, large drones, which play a leading role in modern mechanized warfare, conducted vertical bombing of enemy positions at the bridgehead. Large multi-rotor drones, remotely controlled via fiber optic cables and equipped with automatic bombing devices, shelled enemy troops at the bridgehead who were either unprotected or only had makeshift cover.

Additionally, high-speed suicide drones, loaded with explosives, charged at individual soldiers or light combat vehicles and detonated upon impact. Finally, following the drones, Wolf Robots were tasked with breaching obstacles along the attack route for the amphibious units. In addition to removing obstacles and conducting their own offensive operations, Wolf Robots also provided cover for airborne infantry who parachuted deep into enemy territory using assault helicopters.

Previously, these Wolf Robots were unveiled to the public during China's military parade last September, which was watched by audiences worldwide. At the time, the Wolf Robots, along with large drones, unmanned helicopters, and unmanned vessels, received an enthusiastic reception from spectators. Developed by China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC), the Wolf Robot weighs about 70 kilograms and can carry up to 20 kilograms, with five cameras enabling 360-degree scanning. Although the Wolf Robot was destroyed by enemy fire during the exercise, experts assess that the Chinese military's quadruped unmanned equipment has progressed beyond the stage of technological verification and has now entered practical application.

Furthermore, Chinese media explained that this demonstrates China's amphibious operational system has officially entered a stage where humans and unmanned devices are deployed together. However, some have pointed out that the main components of the Wolf Robot are largely exposed, making it too easy to destroy, and that it is actually impossible for it to perform both reconnaissance and assault roles simultaneously.
