Russians Draft Dolphins to Protect Their Navy
April 28 (UPI) -- The Russian navy has deployed its unit of trained military dolphins in the Black Sea as part of its ongoing war in Ukraine, satellite imagery published Thursday by the U.S. Naval Institute shows.
The USNI examined time lapse satellite imagery provided by Colorado-based Maxar Technologies, which shows two separate pens built near the entrance to Russia's naval base on the Black Sea.
The two pens are located just inside a seawall at the Sevastopol harbor, near the main naval base used by Russia's Black Sea Fleet. Russia took control of the base after its 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula.

No word on whether these dolphins are the same ones who defected from the Ukrainian Navy in 2014.
