Anti-tank dog

Anti-tank dogs were dogs taught to carry explosives to tanks, armored vehicles and other military targets. They were intensively trained by the Soviet and Russian military forces between 1930 and 1996 and used in 1941–1942 against German tanks in World War II. Although the original dog training routine was to leave the bomb and retreat so that the bomb would be detonated by the timer, this routine failed and was replaced by an impact detonation procedure which killed the dog in the process. The U.S. military trained anti-tank dogs in 1943 for use against fortifications, but never deployed them. Dogs strapped with explosives were unsuccessfully used by Iraqi insurgents in 2005.

Anti-tank Dogs in Worldwar
The Soviet Army used anti-tank dogs during 1941–1942, in a desperate attempt to stop the advancing Germans. When the Race arrived in mid 1942, they were deployed against Race Landcruisers with susses. This was due to the Race not expecting them to be used as suicide weapons.

Landcruiser driver Ussmak, had his vehicle disabled by one such weapon during the early days of the invasion, giving him a permanent distrust of all dogs.
