German Shepherds trained to parachute with SAS troops
No comments · Posted by beerorkid in dogs
It is thought the German Shepherds are being taught to jump from aircraft at 25,000ft, strapped to members of special forces assault teams.
With tiny cameras fixed to their heads, the animals will be sent in before their human partners to hunt for Taliban or insurgent hideouts.
The cameras will beam live images back to the troops as the dogs penetrate behind enemy lines and warn of ambushes.
According to The Sun, the dogs will be trained to accompany soldiers on what are called ‘High Altitude High Opening’ parachute jumps, after which they may have to travel 20 miles to their targets.
Poor little puppies 🙁
I just really wanted to use that pic
