Soviet anti-tank dog units were developed in the 1930s as a specialised form of tank-hunting infantry support. The dogs were trained to run beneath enemy armoured vehicles, carrying timed or contact-activated explosives. They were primarily intended to supplement conventional anti-tank weapons at a time when the Red Army lacked sufficient dedicated armour-killing capability. In practice, their effectiveness was limited due to battlefield confusion, difficulty in training, and the harshness of front-line conditions. Despite their small tactical impact, these units remain a striking and unusual element of early-war Soviet military history.
