Animals on military service
Since ancient times, they help people in difficult military service, who are they?
Dog
About Service dogs can talk a long time, that's just some places where dogs are:
- Customs (search for weapons and drugs)
- Border (search and arrest offenders)
- Minefields (of mines)
- Mountain (search and rescue came under an avalanche of tourists)
During WWII, the dog bombers undermine tanks carrying explosives on his back under the tank, dog medical med.sumku brought wounded soldiers.
Horse
For a long time people shared all the hardships of war horses, but in less than 70 years, they have left the battlefield. Today, the cavalry in memory of former exploits performs ceremonial functions. Her participation in the parade, guard mounting, reconstruction of the battle scenes in the audience always enjoys no less success than performance aerobatic teams or the appearance of city streets columns of armored vehicles. Gendarmerie continues to use horses to patrol pedestrian zones and parks, as well as to maintain order during mass events.
Dolphin
The Americans in South Vietnam faced the enemy underwater saboteurs, an attempt was made to use dolphins for their destruction. On the body of the animal was fixed a special unit consisting of a cylinder of compressed carbon dioxide and a long needle. Trained dolphin plunges the needle into the plunger discovered why he received a fatal barotrauma internal organs and resurfacing. In the period from 1970 to 1971, have been killed since 40 Vietnamese divers-saboteurs, as well as two Americans, happened to be in the area, protected by dolphins.
Sea lion
By order of the Navy US group of sea lions has been trained to locate and lift the bottom of the small sunken objects, for any reason of special value. Each is equipped with an automatic capture of the lion, the animal is sufficient to find the sunken object and poke his head fixed to the "horns" to grab the closed and clamped discovery.
Seals
Arctic sea lions seals surpass the reliability and speed of execution of commands. Moreover, they are not inferior to the dolphins of the southern seas speed development of the skills needed for the job. A huge plus seal - he did not need the pool to transport over long distances, it can be long on the land that the dolphin - the death. The seal is also able to dive to great depths under the water and develop greater speed. Suffice it to say that it is easy for the boat sails with a trainer at a speed of 30-40 km / h.
Rats
Scientists from the University of Antwerp Belgian, who trained giant African rats to search for landmines. These rodents have not less acute sense of smell than dogs, but have a small (up to 3 kg) of body weight, which reduces the risk of detonation. They are smaller than dogs suffering from heat and tropical diseases, willingly commit monotonous repetitive actions to obtain food from the conductor for each detected mine. Now the Belgians established firm specializing in training rats and their use in humanitarian demining in Mozambique and other African countries.
Buffalo
The Brazilian army in operations in the dense Amazon jungle, using water buffalo. Hardy, easy to train and also disease-resistant animals Portuguese settlers brought centuries ago from Asia to the island in the delta of the Amazon Marahau. As rugged valley of the river forms the border of Brazil with the neighboring states stretching over 11 thous. Km. It provides protection for about 30 military bases, supplied with air and river transport. But as the military has to track down drug traffickers and producers, to stop the smuggling of diamonds and deforestation, prevent infiltration of militants from the territory of Colombia, they are often forced to walk deep into impassable jungle areas inaccessible to vehicles and boats. So a few years ago in each of the Brazilian outpost were opened two or three animals, used for delivery of ammunition, food and equipment in full off-road capability. Buffalo is able to carry through the narrow paths and beds of small rivers and 500 kg of cargo, eating at the same pasture and not giving signs of excess noise and location of patrols.
Falcon
Since 1966, the airfield in Lossiemouth (Scotland) Hand guard Falcons. Before the Falcons were recruited in the terminal area to keep about six birds, and about every two weeks clashes birds with plane coming in to land. After the start of patrol flights falcons fighting subsided.
Monkey
Chinese government news website in the English language People's Daily Online published an article about the use of Afghan Taliban trained monkeys to fight the US forces. It is reported that the Taliban army in a special squad of macaques and baboons, which the locals caught in the jungle and sell to the Taliban. Young primates are sent to a secret base for the training course, during which the method is applied punishments and rewards (bananas and sticks). Macaques and monkeys trained to use AK-47s and machine guns "Bern", while "explain" to them that the weapon can only be used against people in the American military uniform
Elephants
Elephants have been tamed and have been used for military purposes for the first time in India. Prior to the XIII century, and the elephants were used in the armies of the Middle East and south-eastern states, for example, Khorezm and Burma, but in small quantities.
