Iran buys kamikaze dolphins

The British trained Pigeons to do kamikaze attacks in WW2. They could recognise a target area and would swoop down and detonate these little bombs round their necks.

Couldn't be detected until a swarm of the buggers would begin dive bombing your V2 launch pad or whatever!!!

What a mad idea...

Uh... who said anything about blowing them up dont know what other countries do by the US Navy does not blow them up. The dolphins just drop a locator when they find a mine and even if the dolphin touched the mine it still wouldn't go off, it takes a big ship to set it off. The seals only attach a claw to the diver and swim away. And sharks well were doing the shark a favor by giving them some food to eat... like enemy divers

What kind of explosives did the pigeons carry, and how much of it?

They just had little pouches around their necks, only about a pound of HE, but imagine a swarm of 100's of the little buggers landing on your position........ lol

I want a Kamikaze Dolphin.

That would be cool

That would be nasty...I can just see it now a solider seeing a white dove and thinks something good is going to happen then poof he is killed by the exploding blast.
