Killer dolphins with knives and pistols attached to their heads. It might sound crazy, but that's reportedly one element of the Ukrainian navy's restarted marine mammal programme.
The programme reportedly includes training dolphins to search for mines and marking them with buoys. But Ukraine also plans to train the dolphins "to attack enemy combat swimmers using special knives or pistols fixed to their heads," according to RIA Novosti. A source inside the Ukrainian navy told the agency that the exercises, which are being conducted at the state oceanarium in Sevastopol, are "counter-combat swimmer tasks in order to defend ships in port and on raids."
