Yes, pigeons were used to guide bombs during military operations in World War II. They were trained to peck at a target on a screen, which would then guide the bomb to its destination.
There were some animals who received training to guide bombs or missiles in ww2 but none were trained to guide the atomic bombs. As a matter of fact, pigeons were trained but the experiment did not surface as well as the bat experiment.

There is no record of each individual bomb dropped by the Axis powers or the Allied powers. The military keeps records of how many tons of bombs they dropped. Both sides dropped millions of pounds during World War 2.
During the Christmas Bombings of 1972, officially known as Operation Linebacker II, the U.S. dropped around 20,000 tons of bombs on North Vietnam over a period of 11 days, not 100,000 individual bombs. This intense bombing campaign aimed to target military and industrial sites in Hanoi and Haiphong to pressure North Vietnam into negotiations. While the operation was significant in scale, the figure of 100,000 bombs is an exaggeration.
2 atomic bombs and 2 million HE bombs and 5 million incendiary fire bombs

A-Bombs.
The exact number of bombs the U.S. has dropped in the Middle East varies by conflict and timeframe. Since the early 2000s, particularly during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. has conducted tens of thousands of airstrikes, resulting in hundreds of thousands of bombs dropped. Specific counts can fluctuate based on ongoing military operations and reporting, but precise figures are often difficult to ascertain due to the nature of military operations and the lack of comprehensive public records.
In Iraq, various types of bombs were used, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which were often fashioned from military ordnance or homemade explosives. Conventional bombs, such as aerial bombs and artillery shells, were also deployed during military operations. Additionally, the conflict saw the use of cluster munitions and precision-guided munitions by coalition forces. These various explosives contributed to significant destruction and casualties throughout the conflict.
No specific count. The German military dropped hundreds of thousands of bombs during the war.

WWII was the last declared total war. Atomic bombs (weapons) now restrict wars to either limited wars (no nukes) or military operations (low intensity and normally of quick duration).
yes
There were a lot of animals used in world war 2 , but the main ones were dogs:especially great Danes, and pigeons too. Great Danes were used to drop bombs. They had bombs attached to their necks, and then they would drop the bombs. So did pigeons. sad news:HITLER POISONED HIS OWN GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG!!
Carrier pigeons, maybe... The Croix de Guerre Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster was awarded to Cher Ami, pigeon hero of the Lost Battallion in WW1...
People did not travel from London to Berlin in WW2 unless they were in a military aircraft and dropping bombs.
Global military spending in 2020 was estimated to be around $1.83 trillion. This accounts for expenditures on military personnel, weapons, equipment, operations, and maintenance across various countries worldwide.
