RUSSIA has deployed war wolves on the Ukraine front line — because the beasts react early to kamikaze drone sounds.

Two tamed wolves have been sent to serve with Vladimir Putin’s soldiers and more will follow if the experiment is a success.

A Russian news agency reported: “The predators can hear the approach of drones and warn of danger in advance.

"They will help Russian soldiers carry out combat missions in the [war] zone.”

The two females were rescued from Siberian region Khakassia and raised by wolf-tamer Aleksandr Konchakov.
