Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele released a video this week showing military forces using robotic dogs mounted with rifles in an operation to retake a stadium in Haiti from gang control.
“As part of the bilateral agreement between the Haitian government and the government of El Salvador, a joint operation involving the Haitian National Police, the Haitian Armed Forces (FAd’H), the Task Force and the Salvadoran Special Forces succeeded in taking control of the Sylvio Cator stadium and securing it,” Bukele wrote on X in a translation from Haitian Creole.
The video showed the robots moving down a hallway and up a flight of stairs with the gun on top.

It is not clear how the robots participated in the Port-au-Prince operation.
Bukele said “several human skulls” were discovered inside the stadium during the operation.

“We will now establish an operational base at the stadium so that we can continue to advance deeper into gang-controlled territory,” he said. “We now have the upper hand on the ground.”
