  • Serbia has purchased robotic dogs from Chinese company Minth, according to President Aleksandar Vucic.
  • These robotic dogs, equipped with remotely controlled weapons, will be demonstrated at a Serbian Armed Forces exercise within 15 days.
  • Vucic stated that the robots will undergo extensive testing to ensure reliability before deployment in army units.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced Saturday that the nation has acquired robotic dogs from the Chinese firm Minth. These advanced machines are slated for a public demonstration during an upcoming Serbian Armed Forces exercise, expected within the next 15 days.

Speaking at the opening of Minth's first humanoid robot factory in Serbia, Vucic emphasized the rigorous testing these robots will undergo. "We have to test at least 100 hours of movement before we can allow it to enter an army unit, because there can be no mistakes there," he stated, highlighting the commitment to operational perfection.

We have to test at least 100 hours of movement before we can allow it to enter an army unit, because there can be no mistakes there, and you will see in action that there are no mistakes

— Aleksandar VucicSerbian President Aleksandar Vucic described the testing protocols for the newly acquired robotic dogs.

The robotic dogs will be integrated with weaponry, controlled remotely from a significant distance, and are designed to "carry out significant strikes against enemy forces and enemy personnel," Vucic explained. While he did not elaborate on the specific weapon systems or their capabilities, he assured that their effectiveness would soon be evident.

This development positions Serbia as a potential pioneer in integrating advanced robotics into its military. The new factory in Sabac is expected to eventually produce over 5,000 robots annually, creating jobs and fostering technological expertise. Vucic also mentioned plans for a battery factory in Indjija, signaling further industrial and technological expansion for Serbia.

Our experts have connected the software and created a weapon that we control from a great distance and which is capable of carrying out significant strikes against enemy forces and enemy personnel. You will see it yourselves in a few days

— Aleksandar VucicPresident Vucic detailed the weaponization and remote control capabilities of the robotic dogs.
