>>64597452Thailand government alotet USA by 3000 minefield monkeys. Saper monkey is trained to set mine for explosion. 3000 disposable kamikazee monkeys exploded 3000 land mines in Afghanistan. .Thats the weirdest deploitment of combat animals i've heared in my entire life.
>>64597452In a way yes, but they are also easy to train t m k.
>>64597452Largest terrestrial animal of the age.Docile to mild temperament. Fairly intelligent. Doesn't afraid of anything. Seems like a sensible proposition.

>Over the summer of 1944, Lt. Pat Glover and some of his fellow soldiers of the British 1st Airborne Division had a short debate among themselves over whether or not chickens could fly. Glover took it upon himself to prove that they could, obtained a chicken which he named Myrtle, and began to bring her along during his paratrooper training jumps in a haversack. On the first jump, he released Myrtle at a height of 50 feet and she performed a safe, though chaotic, landing. Eventually, Glover found he was able to safely release Myrtle from heights of up to 300 feet.[1]>After her sixth training jump alongside Glover, it was determined that Myrtle had completed the required number of deployments to be recognized as a qualified military parachutist by the British Armed Forces, and she was awarded her United Kingdom Parachutist Badge, which Glover fastened around her neck.[2]>In September 1944, the Allied Operation Market Garden, a mission to seize several bridge crossings of the Rhine river into Nazi Germany via paratrooper attacks, assigned Glover's brigade to the bridge deepest in German-held territory at the city of Arnhem. Despite Myrtle's successes during training, Glover decided that under the threat of real combat, it would be best to keep Myrtle in her bag until he made it to the ground.[2] Upon landing, Glover handed Myrtle off to his batman, and focused his efforts on the battle, which had turned out fiercer than expected.[3]>Myrtle was among those killed in action during the ensuing Battle of Arnhem. Despite the unprecedented fury of the battle, Glover and his men gave her a military burial before Allied forces eventually retreated from the Arnhem area.

Did anyone ever follow through on the WWII experiment of loading bats with explosives and incendiary and having them fly around blowing things up?
Pigeon-guided bombs. Pigeons were trained to peck reconnaissance images of the target. In combat they pecked an image projected through the front of the bomb.
Do the dolphins the navy uses to help clear mines count?
>>64597362Terrorist batsInfiltrator lizardsDoves as guidance systems
>>64597452>elephants are pretty strange if you think about itTheir being trained executioner elephants always pisses me off when I'm reminded of it.Apparently some of them found it fun and after the practice was ended, one of them stomped its handler because it just missed making humans go pop.Not as weird as executions of elephants though, USA has done some weird shit.
>>64597362>air dropped bobers into Eastern Europe
rats have been trained to sniff out and find land mines for various countries, they're pretty popular in africa and cambodia. it gets less strange the more you think about it really.

>>64599600Had they kept the pigeon in the mothership and used remote cameras / commands, it would.have been more viable because the pigeon would be reusable. Even more so if the remote pigeon pod has a parachute.>Drop a bunch of super accurate remote pigeon-guided bombs on Tokyo with a B-29.>Mothership goes down, pigeons pods parachuted>Japs find them, wonder what the fuck that is.
>>64599455Witnessed. May Myrtle ride eternal in Valhalla, shiny and chrome, along with EOD goat!
>>64600028If they could do that they would just have a human steer the bomb, anon.
>>64600152They tried that. Look up how Joseph Kennedy Jr. died.
>>64599628>pparently some of them found it fun and after the practice was ended, one of them stomped its handler because it just missed making humans go popIt's a texture thing.
>>64599742>rats have been trained to sniff out and find land minesThis is really a great idea. They're easily trainable and highly expendable while also being unlikely to trigger most munitions. >it gets less strange the more you think about it reallyThe strange bit to me is how short their lifespan is. The spend nearly as long in training as working and then they die.Don't they have to be trained in-country to?
>>64600219Our heads are basically bubble wrap for elephants.
>>64600269>Short lifespanNothing that a few billionaires would lile to finance so it might help humans get indefinite lifespan.
>>64600290>billionaires would lile to finance so it might help humans get indefinite lifespan.They don't want everyone to have that.
>>64599742APOPO. I gave them a bunch of money once when I thought I was going to die because my doctor (at the time) gave me the wrong name for a condition. It's a really cool charity. Those rats can also be trained to detect tuberculosis from sputum samples. Rats are cool animals
>>64600269>highly expendable while also being unlikely to trigger most munitions.They're able to detect the mines without having to be on the mine or having to sniff the trigger itself
>>64600307I know. But, unlike economics, technology does trickle down, one way or the other.

>>64597432>For courageous action and wounds received on Tarawa, in the Gilbert Islands, November 1943. With utter disregard for his own personal safety, Siwash, upon reaching the beach, without hesitation engaged the enemy in fierce combat, namely, one rooster of Japanese ancestry, and though wounded on the head by repeated pecks, he soon routed the opposition. He refused medical aid until all wounded members of his section had been taken care ofThat's awesome kek

>>64597450Also by their eye shape. Russians are an asiatic race whereas Ukrainians are European.
>>64600448It's more probable for Silicon Valley to accidentally start an AI-driven revolution which drives all the millionares into the metaverse-reality where they won the war and are acting out their sadistic fantasies on realistic NPC's of the people who "wronged" them until they die of natural causes, while the rest of the world is placed under an AI-operated government that leaves 90% of humanity alone, aside from the people they need to act as liasons for the luddites. Immortality tech is a dead-end, unironically.
>>64597362Didn't they try weaponizing Bats in WWII? Like they were planning on strapping fire bombs to them and letting them loose in Japan with the idea that they'd roost in Japanese homes during the day and they could ignite the bombs burning vast villages without them even knowing what happened.

>>64602533>3000 disposable kamikazee monkeys exploded 3000 land mines in Afghanistan.Anon is misremembering a claim/rumour about Morocco, USA and Afghanistan. And it was 2k monkeys but the paper being quoted is also said to be satirical, a Morrocan Onion.https://www.upi.com/Defense-News/2003/03/24/Morocco-offers-US-monkeys-to-detonate-mine/14431048506179/There's a chatbot at quora that thinks there was a real training program but I think it's hallucinating.

>>64597362My grandfather insisted he was present for a test in which thousands of bats were fitted with timed incendiary explosives to be released over Japanese cities in the hopes that they would nest in vulnerable locations before their charges went off and spread fires more efficiently than regular bombs. He also said that there was some huge fuck up with one of the tests where they lost track of some of the bats and damaged a bunch of their own equipment.I choose to believe him.

>>64617354It's baffling how you think that even addresses the concept of trickle down economics, much less is some kind of slam dunk defense of it.
>>64604815>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bombIn his letter, Adams stated that the bat was the "lowest form of animal life", and that, until now, "reasons for its creation have remained unexplained". He went on to espouse that bats were created "by God to await this hour to play their part in the scheme of free human existence, and to frustrate any attempt of those who dare desecrate our way of life."

>>64618233Joe Kennedy Jr. died over Europe. It was an optionally manned B-17 that still required a pilot and copilot for takeoff. Thing was packed with explosives and the plan was to remote pilot it to a German airfield and crash it there. Pilots were to bail out after switching on remote controls, TV cameras and transmitters, and arming the explosives.
>>64618789He was a man that could not fly, had no echolocation, and could not hang upside down from his toes to sleep. This is a textbook case of humans being jealous of other species.
>>64619734>had no echolocationEcholocation isn't completely unobtainable for humans. We have adequate hearing for limited echolocation in the right environments, you can train it and blind people sometimes do.A lifetime using earphones, shooting guns, working powertools or night clubbing probably doesn't help though.

>>64597452Easily defeated by war pigs.>Megarians doused some pigs with combustible pitch, crude oil or resin, set them alight, and drove them towards the massed Macedonian war elephants. The elephants bolted in terror from the flaming, squealing pigs, often killing great numbers of Macedonian soldiers by trampling them to death.
