For military dogs, many military fans know better. Compared with humans, military dogs have a unique advantage in smell and hearing. In some special operations, behind enemy lines. Military dogs tend to play a big role. Therefore, the special forces of various countries have their own military dog comrades-in-arms to assist themselves in completing some combat tasks.
A few days ago, a certain unit of our army conducted airborne combat training. In this training, a military dog named "Black Skin" also joined in. Become the first animal skydiving team member besides humans. When Black Skin parachuted down from 30,000 feet in the air with a human partner, many military fans said they could not see a little panic in Black Skin's eyes. It can be seen that this military dog has long been a frequent visitor to parachute.
In fact, the participation of military dogs in parachute combat is not uncommon in military history. In addition to china, countries such as the United States, Germany and France, almost all of their military dogs have participated in parachute combat. And there are good performances and records.
In 2011, the US Navy SEALs used airborne operations in the capture of Osama bin Laden, and in this airborne operation, a military dog was also involved. After landing on the ground in the air, the military dog quickly determined the location of bin Laden by virtue of its keen sense of smell. He was instrumental in the death of bin Laden by the SEAL forces.
On October 26, 2019, the U.S. Delta Force once again used military dog airborne operations in the operation to capture Baghdadi, the supreme leader of the extremist group "Islamic State". This military dog, "Conan", played a great role in the capture of Baghdadi.
According to media reports, Baghdadi, who was pursued by the US military, dragged 3 children into the tunnel to try to escape, but was eventually blocked at the end of the tunnel by the chased "Conan". Baghdadi tries to forcibly escape, but is held back by Conan. Eventually Baghdadi was captured by the delta troopers who arrived. The whole operation, with Conan's help, ended in a few hours. It is conceivable that without the assistance of military dogs, it will take a few days for the US military to quickly capture Baghdadi.
There are many similar examples, military dogs have played a big role in many special operations, although it is now the 21st century, many times, high-tech weapons can solve many problems. Some very primitive methods and combat methods have been gradually eliminated. But in some specific combat environments, such as combat behind enemy lines, military dogs are still the best companions for soldiers.
Although the airborne dog tactic is not high, and even has many flaws, it can become the preferred tactic of special forces in many countries, which naturally has its advantages, and this advantage is flexibility and low cost. It can be used even in electronic warfare environments without worrying about enemy damage to the attacker's network, because as long as the military dogs are still there, this destruction will not help.
With the advent of electronic warfare and various electronic jamming devices, some traditional means in modern warfare are often more useful than high technology. Just like military dogs are obviously more reliable than electronic products in the wild, which is the main reason why military dogs can survive.
Finally, we talk about the welfare of military dogs, and like soldiers, military dogs are also retired and active. Retired military dogs also enjoy a formal establishment, and after retiring, they will enjoy their old age in a special nursing home, which is also a military merit reward for them. If a military dog is injured in combat, it will also be treated by a specific medical staff. In fact, this is also a human aspect.
