Therefore, it is unlikely that anti-tank dogs will ever be used again.

This dog was used in the war as an Anti-tank dog.

Twelve regional schools were opened soon after, three of which trained anti-tank dogs.

In that period, the dog training schools were mostly focused on producing anti-tank dogs.

Anti-tank dogs were dogs with explosives placed on their backs.

At the same time the Soviet Union developed the "anti-tank dog" for use against German tanks.

The U.S. military trained anti-tank dogs in 1943 for use against fortifications, but never deployed them.

A captured German officer later reported that they learned of the anti-tank dog design from the killed animals, and considered the program desperate and inefficient.

The efficiency of using anti-tank dogs in World War II remains uncertain.

However, training of anti-tank dogs continued after World War II, until June 1996.

Suddenly, an angry, almost demonic-looking anti-tank dog (strapped with explosives) runs out of the tunnel and snarls deeply at him.

Anti-tank dogs - a Soviet, World War II weapon that had mixed success.

In the late 1940s, anti-tank dogs were used by the Viet Minh forces fighting in Indochina.

There are claims by the Soviet sources that around 300 German tanks were damaged by Soviet anti-tank dogs.

Earlier anti-tank dogs were fitted with tilt-rod mines and trained to run beneath enemy tanks which would detonate the mines automatically.

After 1942, the use of anti-tank dogs by the Soviet Army rapidly declined, and training schools were redirected to producing the more needed mine-seeking and delivery dogs.

For example, at the front of the 160th Infantry Division near Hlukhiv, six dogs had damaged five German tanks; near the airport of Stalingrad, anti-tank dogs destroyed 13 tanks.

The Soviet Union employed anti-tank dogs during World War II, with very limited success; as a counterpart to the German Goliath the Teletank was used as a remote-controlled unmanned tank.

The use of anti-tank dogs was escalated during 1941-1942, when every effort was made by the Soviet Army to stop the German advance at the Eastern Front of World War II.

During World War II the United States investigated the use of "bat bombs", or bats carrying small incendiary bombs, while at the same time the Soviet Union developed the "anti-tank dog" for use against German tanks.
