Land sharks: Army's four-legged companions with a bite to match their nickname

British troops have embarked on Exercise Immediate Response in Poland, showcasing a diverse range of specialised units in action.
The exercise involves 2,500 troops and 800 vehicles training to quickly reinforce Nato's eastern flank.
Alongside the armoured infantry battalions and tanks are other specialist units, from dog units employing canines known as 'land sharks', to medics providing expert dental surgeries in field tents.

    Where I live, we call the Belgian Malinois a Maligator. Jaws like an alligator, and once they have a hold on you, they do not let go.

    The SADF attack dogs weren't trained to attack arms as the target could rap an arm and while the dog latched onto that arm could stab the dog with a sharp weapon with the other. It's almost strange to watch the "target" without a full-face helmet

    Yeah it might work for the Police but I always thought it seemed to put the dog in blatant extreme risk to train them to go for someone's arm and just stay latched on when in the Army. If the Army is sending a dog in to attack anyway then chances are the target would kill that dog in an instant if they got a chance.
