Anti-tank dogs!

Except they trained them on stationary tanks, so when they were deployed the movement and noise scared the dogs and they ran back to the Soviet lines where they exploded and killed Soviet troops.

Also they trained them using Soviet diesel tanks instead of German gasoline tanks, so the dogs would seek out Soviet tanks instead of German tanks because of the familiar smell.

The most important part is the shark teeth anyway. Paint those on drones and go wild.

This made sense when our "enemies" were superpowers with massive standing armies and R&D budgets. Now they're some just some random dudes with cold war leftovers. I'm not saying stop all military R&D, I'm saying "Why the gently caress do we need ICBM interceptors and billion-dollar air superiority fighters?"

As for your second point, it's not like we have to burn the money if it's not being used for bigger explosions. We can fund non-military R&D directly.

That's just what all of our enemies are waiting for.

As soon as we stop they'll reveal they were working on superweapons in secret, and then we're screwed.
