Besides the N Korean & Soviet Army of using dogs as some form of 'anti-tank' weapons, I read that the 1st Gulf War of 1979-1988, the Iranians (due to their religious fanatiicism or some may say desperation) convinced 'volunteer' youths to strap explosives to their body and charged under an Iraqi tank. Their sacrifice here ensures that the doors to an Islamic heaven will be 'opened' (in fact, all of them carried plastic keys with them).
Actually this human anti-tank bomb is pioneered by the Chinese during WW2. In their desperation to stop the Japanese tanks they strapped explosives to their bodies and waiting for the tanks to go over their trenches then detonate.
I consider them real national heros, it takes real guts and steel balls to pull this off.
