The robot in the picture looks like a Unitree Go1: https://www.unitree.com/en/go1/
This is remarkable because according to the Unitree website they are a Chinese company.
Probably because that's an blindingly obvious Chinese knockoff of Boston Dynamics' Spot. BD doesn't want to sell weapons but the USMC still wanted to try out their ideas so they found a company with fewer ethics.
So, friendly fire incoming?
