[ErikStenger]

So apparently the Ukrainian navy is training dolphins for combat by attaching guns and knivesto their heads to attack enemies. Wait -- the Ukraine has a navy?

"The program 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.""​

In other news, the Polish navy has been unsuccessfully trying to train goldfish to breath outside of water.

Ukraine is only about 40 years behind the times, the US Navy was doing this in the 70's. Still waiting on sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads.
