China's newly unveiled light arms, robo-wolf brings versatility, tactical power

Published: Nov 14, 2024 07:59 PM

China has introduced a wide selection of light arms and a groundbreaking development in military technology: robo-wolf, at Airshow China 2024. The gun series and the multi-function quadruped anti-terrorism robots are designed to bring new levels of versatility and tactical power to modern warfare.

The state-owned China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC) exhibited guns in the Type 20 series, which have been modified to be able to fire different calibers of bullets, including 7.62mm, 5.8mm and 5.56mm, to suit the needs of different users from around the world, the Global Times learned from the CSGC at the airshow.

Some of the widely known guns in the Type 20 series, such as the QBZ-191 auto rifle, was redesignated as the CS/LR43 for the 7.62mm version and the QBU-191 precision rifle was redesignated as the CS/LR44 for the 7.62mm version.

Another star item on display is a type of multi-function quadruped anti-terrorism robot called the Grey Wolf. It can be dispatched in combat units such as individual teams and special operations squads for urban warfare, border patrol and sniping missions. It can pass through complex terrains, has high stealth, high accuracy even against moving targets and can carry different modules for different functions, including Type 191 series rifles, Type 171 sub-machine guns and sniper rifles, according to the developer.

The advanced robots used to be called "robo-dogs" but now they have transformed into "wolves," because now they can operate like a pack of wolves in combat, working effectively as a team to accomplish complicated missions rather than working independently.

The Grey Wolf will work with the soldiers in the mission so that it can prevent casualties. Furthermore, the soldiers, or the person who controls the "wolves" can help them avoid making any mistakes during the mission, said an employee of the developer. "For instance, when it carries out a hostage rescue mission, the special force soldiers can see everything from the screen of the controller to make sure it only shoots at terrorists, and doesn't shoot at non-hostile targets."

China Takes the Lead in Sixth-Generation Fighters with White Emperor B​

China has taken the lead in the race to develop a sixth-generation fighter jet, recently revealing its new “White Emperor B” variant, an advanced prototype demonstrating China’s vision for next-generation air superiority.


While the United States has announced its NGAD (Next Generation Air Dominance) initiative and the European Union is also in development, China appears to be moving quickly, reportedly already testing components and assessing design viability.

Nicknamed the “White Emperor B,” this fighter jet is set to feature highly advanced capabilities, making it potentially more lethal than any current fighter. With a single-seat, tailless design, its shape is inspired by the nose and engine inlet configurations of the Su-30. The aircraft has a sleek, duck-shaped fuselage, two engines housed beneath the main body, and an exhaust system crafted to enhance stealth. The tailless structure is specifically designed for high-speed maneuverability, maximizing both stealth and control.


The White Emperor B is also expected to integrate cutting-edge weaponry, including air-to-air missiles, laser-guided missiles, and other state-of-the-art technologies, increasing its adaptability across various combat scenarios. This fighter aims to set new standards in human-machine collaboration, simplifying maintenance and significantly boosting combat efficiency and sortie rates — essential attributes for modern warfare, where rapid response and sustainability are crucial.

Experts suggest that the White Emperor B could utilize artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance pilot decision-making and optimize mission performance. It may also include advanced sensor fusion, enabling it to process real-time information and coordinate seamlessly with unmanned aerial systems (UAS), creating a cohesive combat network that allows both piloted and autonomous aircraft to operate together.

Aligned with global trends in sixth-generation fighter development, China’s White Emperor B program underscores its commitment to keeping pace with, or even surpassing, international defense initiatives like the U.S. NGAD and Europe’s Future Combat Air System (FCAS). Though specific technical details remain confidential, this conceptual model reflects China’s strategy to meet both current and future combat needs by pushing the boundaries of stealth, AI integration, and payload versatility. The White Emperor B is a clear statement of China’s ambition to secure a leading role in cutting-edge aviation technology, ensuring a formidable presence in future conflicts.

At the Zhuhai Air Show, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) introduced a new innovation in underwater warfare: the Small Special Operations Unmanned Submarine. This unmanned platform is designed to carry out a wide range of covert operations, including reconnaissance, mine-laying, stealthy delivery, and even strikes.

The Small Special Operations Unmanned Submarine adopts a modular design, allowing it to incorporate various mission-specific payloads. The submarine’s compartments are built to be adaptable, enabling it to carry different payloads, such as torpedoes, mines, small unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), and even equipment for special forces divers.

CSSC highlighted several technical advantages of the unmanned submarine. It can reach a maximum submerged speed of 20 knots, with a cruising speed of up to 8 knots, and can dive between 300 and 450 meters. With a range of up to 10,000 nautical miles at 6 knots, it’s capable of extended, covert operations. The platform also supports a continuous underwater operational range of 1,000 to 3,000 miles.

The submarine's enhanced maneuverability, coupled with its long-range capability, makes it highly effective in a range of underwater combat and surveillance tasks. It also has the capacity to carry four medium or large UUVs, which can further extend its combat radius and effectiveness in complex missions.

The unmanned submarine is designed to accommodate three distinct mission payload configurations. The Type A configuration focuses on warning and strike missions, carrying between 8 to 12 torpedoes or missiles, enabling it to launch attacks autonomously. In the Type B configuration, designed for special operations support, it can transport 6 to 8 divers along with their equipment, making it suitable for covert insertion and extraction missions. The Type C configuration is intended for delivery and blockade operations, capable of carrying 8 to 12 mines or small UUVs, or up to 4 larger UUVs, providing flexibility for mine-laying or surveillance missions.

For communication, the submarine is integrated with a comprehensive combat communication link, including shore-based, ship-based, and satellite (SATCOM) systems. These enable real-time communication with command centers, making the platform suitable for coordinated multi-unit operations. Additionally, it is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery system complemented by a 400 kW high-speed diesel generator, ensuring reliability and prolonged endurance during extended missions.

The submarine’s main dimensions range from 38 to 43 meters in length, with a beam of 4.8 meters and a draft of 5.6 meters. Its normal displacement ranges from 380 to 450 tons, depending on the configuration.

The introduction of CSSC's Small Special Operations Unmanned Submarine marks a significant shift in the capabilities available for underwater missions, particularly for navies looking to conduct stealth operations without risking personnel. This submarine’s ability to operate autonomously with various payloads—ranging from torpedoes and mines to UUVs and diver support equipment—enables it to perform targeted strikes, surveillance, and other high-stakes tasks covertly. Its long-range endurance and modular payload options allow it to act as a force multiplier, capable of performing several roles that would typically require a range of manned submarines or surface vessels.

The CM-98 (also known as Eagle Strike-98) stealth multi-purpose missile weapon system (hereinafter referred to as CM-98 missile) produced by a certain institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation has a warhead of not less than 385 kilograms. The missile can not only hit land targets, but also mobile targets at sea, making it a true multi-purpose stealth cruise missile outside the defense zone. It has the characteristics of high stealth breakthrough, anti-interference breakthrough, wide flight envelope, and high-efficiency destruction. At the same time, according to the on-site staff's explanation, the CM-98 missile has the ability to be used on multiple platforms. It can be mounted by various types of fighter jets (fighters, bombers, etc.), and can be modified into land-based or sea based launch versions as needed. The sentence is: Missiles use a multi effect warhead, which can deal with various land or sea targets and can be matched with other types of warheads as needed, including mother and child warheads. In addition, the CM-98 missile uses a composite guidance system, with "inertial guidance+satellite guidance" in the mid flight and electro-optical/infrared guidance in the late flight.
However, due to foreign trade restrictions, the maximum range of CM-98 is currently limited to 298 kilometers. Of course, this is not the maximum range level of the missile. It is reported that its self use version of the same technology route (i.e. AKF98A missile mounted on J-16 fighter jets (F refers to outside the defense zone) can theoretically achieve a maximum range capability of around 500-600 kilometers, or even further.
