You have perhaps seen video or re-enactments of the D-day landings on Omaha Beach.  Imagine what that would have looked like had the invasion commenced an hour after dusk and landing craft came ashore disgorging boatload after boatload of heavily armed robo-dogs which would calmly walk up the dunes toward the Nazis.

 

That technology changes everything.  The guy with the capacity to manufacture a million of those units would own any land battle.  The list of countries capable of that kind of manufacturing volume has only one: China.
