Stop these bots. Show me something concrete. No actual showcases or even knowledge behind this means its just words.
Ha ha, I can’t believe anyone would still peddle this dumb propaganda nonsense :-) Come on OP, can we move on from that embarrassing con-job already ?
Upon reflection, I agree it is probably just propaganda. Should I leave the post up though?
The top comment here is making valid points casting doubt on its veracity. Isn’t that a good thing?
This an an absolutely exceptional claim that would put the company decades beyond any tech I have seen. They are claiming remote control of a complicated animal in flight. They also claim it is without training and over distances impossible for a bird as small as a pigeon to carry radio gear.
This is not believable without any evidence.
I’ve heard of the particular people behind that particular company achieving similar things 12 years ago with, eh, humans. That’s of the “bloody regime horror stories” genre. There will be no proof.
Also honestly
would put the company decades beyond any tech I have seen
why not? They have plenty of money and expertise. Something you don’t want to believe? Too bad, neither do I.
Indeed “thousands of km” is far fetched:
some of which are expected to be sent thousands of kilometers away while others remain in Moscow for further trials.
Propaganda mills run 24hrs in time of war. All sectors of industry are often involved.

I absolutely do not believe these claims until they’re independently verified
I’m not sure propaganda has ever been more intense and widespread than it is now with ubiquitous tech addiction
That is what I was getting out without trying to use the loaded words.
according to Forbes Russia and a company statement
duh
edit: as for radio, if it’s not required to be realtime it would make a lot of sense to carry sd cards instead, provides lower energy consumption too
You are putting a lot of faith in a people that can’t even build a competent tank.
You do, of course, understand that this has nothing in common with building a tank?
You do also understand that (just guessing) if you’re from a German instance, then probably everyone of consequence involved in designing military hardware in Russia has better knowledge of their domain area than people analogous to them from German MIC and military? Simply due to experience gained. That does apply to tanks.
Anyway. I don’t know if it’s real, but you just go and read whose company it is. It might be.
I know I’m just theorizing
This is a remote control situation. The bird would do bird things once out of a control signal. They aren’t claiming full override and programming. I could easily see strapping a camera to a pigeon and training it. Maybe even remotely monitoring it and using a pre-trained electrical pulse to change direction.
These claims are beyond that. This is possibly the equivalent of scientist cures cancer where a reported misunderstands what is actually being presented.
yea true, they did mention preloading flight paths, so it might be radio-less (apart from gps ig)
If it’s like the bug experiments, they aren’t controlling its muscles granularly but guiding the whole critter through pain/aversion. Going left hurts, bird goes right type deal
Those guys at Birds Aren’t Real are having a “told you so!” moment right now.
Came for this, left satisfied.
No.
The company plans to use the biodrones for extended monitoring of power transmission lines, gas distribution nodes and other infrastructure, as well as for environmental surveys, industrial inspections, search-and-rescue missions and additional security monitoring
Sure thing buddy. We all know what these are actually for you colossal piece of shit.
If it’s actually true and not the usual Russian bullshit they can only back up with bots.
Then tomorrow they’ll invent teleportation during lunch break. Russia is such an advanced state, and defintely not shithole running out a cash propaganda machine governed by a stupid afraid-of-death human stain
Dudes’ been playing Fallout show…
Same company that did the Pythia rat experiment https://neiry.ru/analytica/tpost/p1o2t7kbt1-predstavlyaem-krisu-kotoraya-umnee-bolsh
From the article
The rat has already correctly answered hundreds of scientific questions - about quasars, myelin shells, Python and Albert Einstein’s birthday. The experiment continues every day, the number of rats with a neural interface is also growing.
Pile it High and Deep PHD work.
This will lead to unintended consequences of Russian citizens killing any bird they see, which will mirror the Chinese famine from years ago where they did the same, but that led to an increase of crop killing insects which led to widespread famine.
I bet Russians en masse are dumb enough to not know that infamous fact.
Yeah, yeah. Most likely just a wireless camera glued to a bird.
I would like to go back to the times when I could easily tell a joke from reality. To go, please.
Bull - and what’s more - shit
Russians? LOL. The best they can do is to fucking eat the poor little bird, as their economy is fucked and they are stupid enough to not understand why. Stop believing into miracles. Russia is a shit hole not much better to Nigeria. (Sorry Nigeria, I’m sure you’re much better than that, I just have no good example to compare to.)
USA?
What do you mean by USA question mark?
Sorry Nigeria, I’m sure you’re much better than that, I just have no good example to compare to.
USA?
Not yet there, I think. It’s not that fast to fall from economy number one to irrelevant peripheral country. They’d get there quickly if they’d not change the track, but it would get them much more than a year. A decade or two is my guess. But I believe in Americans, they’d manage that idiot and his clique, I believe.
