Russia has started using wolves on the front lines of the war – because the animals react early to the sound of approaching kamikaze drones.
Two tamed beasts have been sent to serve with Vladimir Putin’s forces and more will follow if the experiment is a success.
The females come from the Siberian region of Khakassia and were raised by wolf tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
He also crosses wolves with Russian Laika hunting dogs for use in war.
Konchakov visited the war zone before sending the predators to the battlefield by plane and train.
