**Deck**: Salvadoran forces in Haiti have reportedly brought rifle‑equipped Unitree Go2 quadruped robots into Port‑au‑Prince, introducing weaponized “robot dogs” to a city already struggling with armed gangs.

Port‑au‑Prince is seeing a new kind of armed presence: rifle‑equipped robot dogs operated by foreign forces.

According to reporting based on weapons‑tracking sources, Salvadoran forces deployed in Haiti have brought “armed robot dogs” into the capital. The systems appear to be Go2 quadruped robots made by China’s Unitree Robotics, fitted with ARAD‑5 assault rifles produced by Israeli company IWI.

Images posted online show the weapon‑mounted robots in Port‑au‑Prince, indicating they are at least being tested in the city’s streets.

Salvadoran personnel form part of the overseas security presence tasked with supporting Haitian authorities against heavily armed gangs. The arrival of these rifle‑equipped robots adds a new technology to that mission, in a densely populated urban area where civilians live close to armed groups.

The deployment also illustrates how advanced ground robots and small arms from different countries can be combined and fielded in fragile environments. Observers will be watching for any official confirmation from Salvadoran or Haitian authorities about how and when the robots can be used, as well as signs that other contingents in Haiti adopt similar systems.

Future incidents involving these platforms—such as their use in live firefights or any documented malfunctions—will likely shape wider debates over armed ground robots and their role in urban security operations.
