Russia has started deploying wolves on the frontline 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 troops and more will follow if the experiment is a success.
The females were taken from the Siberian region of Khakassia, and raised by wolf-tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
He is also cross-breeding wolves with Russian Laika hunting dogs for use in the war.
Konchakov visited the war zone before dispatching the predators to the battlefield by plane and train.

Russian fighters claim that the beasts have a good sense of smell, are sociable and active, and can warn of danger in advance.
‘The predators can hear the approach of drones,’ reported SHOT media.
One of the wolves sent to fight for Putin is called Vysota – seen being fed ice cream.
‘The puppies were simply brought to me by hunters without a mother,’ said Konchakov.
‘They [soldiers] asked [to move them to the war].
‘They asked so I gave.’
The beasts have excellent ‘intuition’ and are ‘smart’, he said.
The SHOT report said the wolves ‘can hear the approach of drones and warn of danger in advance’.
They ‘will help Russian soldiers carry out combat missions in the [war] zone.’

The All-Russian People’s Front (ONF) shared the news that two wolf pups had been requested back in May, and said they would need to grow over the summer before being sent to join troops.
‘There is an opinion that wolves are smarter than shepherds and, if properly trained, can become good helpers,’ it said.
‘Alexander regularly collects and transports humanitarian aid to the (war) zone for our soldiers.
‘During the last joint trip with the People’s Front, the military asked him for two wolf puppies to help them.’
General Director of the Great Moscow State Circus, Edgard Zapashny, said of the unusual delivery: ‘I hope that these two female wolves, who will now be with our fighters, will not be harmed, and that the men will surround them with care and ensure their safety.
‘In turn, the animals will save the lives of our soldiers.’
