Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, there have been countless examples of citizens going above and beyond to defend their country.Whether they're towing tanks away with tractors, moving land mines off roads with their bare hands or tragically blowing themselves up on bridges to slow the Russian advance - the actions of everyday Ukrainians have been heroic.But for every day the Russian invasion is frustrated, the chance that Vladimir Putin will unleash a nightmarish arsenal of weapons on the region increases.Former KGB agent Putin has a vast supply of unconventional weaponry at his disposal including robotic tanks and fearsome crack dog units, reports the Mirror.
