China Testing 'Robot Wolves' in High-Tech Assault Drills for Taiwan Invasion

China is testing a new wave of high-tech assault robots in preparation for potential amphibious operations against Taiwan, unveiling "robot wolves" designed to spearhead beach landings that military planners say would be among the most difficult missions in modern warfare.

Video released on state television shows militarized versions of four-legged "robot dogs," previously used for search-and-rescue work, now repurposed to storm fortified shoreline positions ahead of human troops, reports The Times on Thursday.

The robots, controlled from units mounted on army transports and operating at ranges of about 1.2 miles, rapidly cut through barbed wire and other obstacles during recent beach exercises.

A violent, bloody brawl broke out outside the Turning Point USA finale event Monday night at the University of California, Berkeley, where protesters, clad in black masks and keffiyehs, swarmed the hall's entrance, chanting "No Trump, No KKK, No fascist USA" and screaming obscenities at attendees, calling them "fascists."

The chaos erupted on Bancroft Way ahead of the conservative group's event at Zellerbach Hall, headlined by comedian Rob Schneider and Christian author Frank Turek, and held exactly two months after Turning Point founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a Utah college campus, reports Berkeleyside.

Mikey McCoy, who had served as Kirk's chief of staff, accused the protesters of being antifa, an anti-fascist movement with no official leaders.
