Russia deploys 'military' dolphins to protect Black Sea base - (really) [View all]
Russia deploys trained dolphins at Black Sea naval base, satellite images showRussia has deployed trained military dolphins at its naval base in the Black Sea – possibly to protect its fleet from an underwater attack – according to new analysis of satellite images.
The US Naval Institute (USNI) reviewed satellite imagery of the naval base at Sevastopol harbor, and concluded that two dolphin pens were moved to the base in February at the start of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

Maybe the dolphinovs could take a look at the Moskva to get some pointers on protecting the fleet. On a more serious note, the Russians probably consider its humans more expendable than the dolphins, but both are managed with cruelty.
