42 Hunde sind absolut entbehrlich. Und wesentlich besser als stattdessen mehr Soldaten zu verlieren. Tatsächlich bin ich eher erstaunt, wie gut sich die Hunde im OHK schlagen und wie wenig Verluste sie dabei erleiden.

Zitat:The IDF’s Oketz unit showcases how military working dogs can be invaluable assets in urban warfare. By investing in remote capabilities, expanding the scale of canine units and scope of their operational capabilities, prioritizing mental health, and attending to operational details, the US military can evolve its preparations for urban conflict, ensuring both mission success and the welfare of soldiers and their canine partners.
The IDF’s reliance on military dogs comes at a significant cost. Since October 7, Oketz has lost three soldiers and forty-two military working dogs. These sacrifices highlight the intensity of the missions these teams undertake. But the missions’ intensity is matched by their critical nature. Bring truly prepared for urban warfare means being prepared to fulfill these missions, which in turn, as the IDF experience in Gaza highlights, means having trained and ready canine teams. To ensure that it has this unique capability, the US military should be learning from the IDF’s war in Gaza.
