    The Russians used dogs instead of a machine with a vulnerable cable...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog

    In training, the dogs were fed under tanks so they would want to get under a tank when released in the battlefield.

    I've never read any account describing their use when Russian tanks were on the battlefield; could have been another incendiary bat fiasco.

    Somewhat off-topic - but "the Bat Bomb"/ Project X-ray is still a darned interesting story for us curious, happy few
