During the Cold War, the Soviet Union attempted to develop a program called "Project 12" in which dogs were trained to use their psychic abilities to explode enemy tanks by focusing their energies on them. The dogs were also trained to run towards the tanks with explosives strapped to their backs, guided by their trainers who used whistles to direct them. The training process involved using positive reinforcement techniques, such as rewarding the dogs with food for performing the desired behaviors.

The program was ultimately unsuccessful due to various factors such as the difficulty of controlling the dogs in combat situations, as well as the logistical challenges of training and deploying large numbers of them. The program was eventually scrapped, and the remaining dogs were either euthanized or sent to other military units.
