Comment on Marines Test Fire Robot Dog Armed with Rocket Launcherparent

Comments

Dogs can jump on and over taller obstacles than can a similarly sized tank.

The special forces ideal is small packages with large firepower. I can not imagine anything that better meets that definition than quadracopter scouts and robot dogs with missile launchers.

Falling over after the shot is irrelevant. Basic marksmanship training teaches recruits to pull the trigger until the shot going off surprises them. We only care about what happens next if we want a quick follow up shot, which is not possible with single shot rocket launchers.
