During World War Two, Red Army was desperate to protect its motherland. The better equipped Wehrmacht forces pushed deep inside the Soviet Union. This is why the USSR developed all kinds of programmes to stop the advancing German units.
One of these projects was the anti-tank dogs. Therefore, the anti-tank dogs proved to be one of the most ingenious weapons used on the Eastern Front in WWII.
Curiously, the Russian Army was not the first army which attempted to use dogs in an anti-tank role.
