BIRD BRAINED SCHEME Putin’s scientists launch chilling squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants
The tech firm has already tampered with cow brains in a bid to boost milk yields, now it’s time for pigeons
VLADIMIR Putin’s scientists have launched a squadron of remote controlled spy pigeons fitted with brain implants.
A Kremlin-backed Moscow neurotechnology firm boasts its operators can steer flocks across the sky by zapping signals directly into their brain.
Russia’s sick “bird-biodrones” codenamed PJN-1 are ordinary pigeons surgically implanted with neural chips that allow technicians to direct their routes.
Field tests are being carried out using birds with electrodes inserted into their brains connected to tiny solar-powered backpacks containing onboard electronics, GPS tracking, and a receiver.
BERLIN—A dozen senior German officers convened at a triangle-shaped military compound in Berlin about 2½ years ago to work on a secret plan for a war with Russia.
Now they’re racing to implement it.
Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine ended decades of stability in Europe. Since then, the region has embarked on its fastest military buildup since the end of World War II. But the outcome of a future war won’t depend only on the number of troops and weapons in the field.
It will also hinge on the success of the monumental logistical operation at the heart of Operation Plan Germany, the 1,200 page-long classified document drafted behind the nondescript walls of the Julius Leber Barracks.
The blueprint details how as many as 800,000 German, U.S. and other NATO troops would be ferried eastward toward the front line. It maps the ports, rivers, railways and roads they would travel, and how they would be supplied and protected on the way.

France will introduce a voluntary military service of 10 months beginning next summer, becoming the latest EU country to hint at war preparations in the face of a growing threat from Russia.
President Emmanuel Macron has confirmed the expansion of the military, focusing on volunteers mostly aged 18 to 19.
‘A new national service will be introduced, gradually starting next summer,’ he said during a speech to troops in Varces-Allieres-et-Risset.
This makes France the first European heavyweight – and the first nation that has nuclear capabilities – to reintroduce military service.
