Russian military could
recruit mice to detect weapons,
explosives and drugs Sources in Moscow say mice have
been used already by the Israeli
military It is believed they could even seek out
human hostages.
Share Russian military intelligence is testing
out a new spy recruit - Agent Squeak.
Mice are seen
as fast and versatile in underground
operations, say experts. They are potentially superior to dogs in
detecting explosives and ammunition
as well as seeking out human
hostages, it is claimed. Russian intelligence
say mice could be better than dogs at
detecting explosives Sources in Moscow say mice have been
used already by the Israeli military in
counter terrorist situations. If they pass a series of exacting tests
at a secret location, the creatures
could be deployed not only by GRU
military intelligence but also other
Russian secret services better known
for honeytraps than mousetraps, reported Izvestia newspaper. More... Bubble bursting will end our universe
'Invasion' 'Mice can be taught to detect the smell
of certain substances,' explained
Russian expert Anton Venediktov. 'Feeling it, they run to a special place
in their cage, and make a certain pose. 'Mice can be trained to signal, in
particular, the smell of weapons,
explosives, drugs, or the human body.' Mice - like Tom’s sparring partner Jerry
and also Mickey Mouse - have been
eulogised for years in cartoons, often
portrayed as shrewder than other
animals. This is with good reason, said
Venediktov, from specialist technical
and security centre EVRAAS in
Moscow. They have a 'less complicated central
nervous system' than some other
animals. This means they are not so prone to
mood swings and emotional stress. Their behaviour is 'more stable',
making them ideal for 007-style roles,
it is claimed. They can be trained to perform 150
tasks in one month such as sniffing
out explosives or weapons, and can
work shifts of between six and eight
hours, it is claimed. -http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2281213/Agent-Squeak-Russian-military-recruit-mice-detect-weapons-explosives-drugs.html
