THIS is the dramatic moment a Chinese drone drops a killer robot dog into the battle zone amid rising tensions with Taiwan.
Footage shows the gun-wielding mechanical canine landing on a rooftop in an urban area before it springs to life.
The chilling clip forecasting the future of warfare shows the four-legged bot trotting around while scouting out its new surroundings.
The battle-ready bionic dog is believed to behave a Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun mounted to its back, according to WarZone.
The terrifying weapon can reportedly fire up to 650 rounds a minute.
