The training was conducted by a mobile detachment of the Armed Police Corps of Tibet, stationed in the city of Qamdo, and focused on urban combat simulations with realistic scenarios of riots and terrorist threats.
Among the resources used, the standout was a quadruped robot with a weapon mounted on its back, operating alongside infantry troops in simulated city blocks. The presence of the robot dog highlights the technological advancements of China’s security forces and the growing integration of armed autonomous systems into their tactical operations.
The exercise is part of a broader effort to modernize China’s armed forces, especially focused on combat environments in high-altitude regions like Tibet, a strategic and sensitive area in the country’s geopolitical context.
