Given the guards. Scientists have told why the Russian fleet is massively recruiting dolphins in the Black Sea

Researchers have told how and why the Russian army uses marine mammals. We can think about dolphins as developed by company mammals, but it is unlikely that we think of using these animals to create a warrior team hardened in battles. However, the Russian military is massively recruiting dolphins-Afalin to protect the Sevastopol Naval Base in the Black Sea, writes Science Alert.

According to the UK Ministry of Defense, trained mammals are held in special units, and their main role is to scare away divers. It is unlikely that a group of "dolphins" will come into a hand-to-hand battle with uninvited guests or attack someone with fins instead of the Russian army, but they are in fact quite capable of warning about the approach of any threat. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! British intelligence also states that in recent weeks the number of dolphins recruited has almost doubled, which suggests that the Russian fleet plans to attract more to botsters to protect the naval base. It should be noted that the Russians control Sevastopol since the invasion of Crimea in 2014.

To protect its position in Sevastopol, the Russian Fleet uses a network of anti -body networks, deep bombs and missile installations. However, if divers manage to overcome all these levels of protection, dolphins should enter the game. Dolphins are currently being kept in the port with the possibility of moving on a boat base in special cradles.

Despite the fact that the idea of ​​using marine mammals to protect ports may seem rather meaningless, researchers say that if you dig a little deeper, everything will go into place. First, the feline farms are able to develop speeds of about 29 kilometers per hour, which is much higher than the best swimmers in the world-about 10 kilometers per hour.

In this way, scientists say that no person in the world will literally be able to cross the dolphin, no matter how much the experienced diver and diver it may be. In fact, it makes these animals extremely useful when it comes to finding divers trying to go unnoticed. Based on all of the above, researchers say that the absurd, at first glance, the idea of ​​using dolphins for protection, really makes sense.

By the way, it is believed that the Russian Navy has been using marine animals for many years. Earlier there were reports of the use of dolphins, as well as whales-spy, which delivered Russian equipment. Researchers say that these whales not only delivered equipment that could be used or not used for monitoring, but also demonstrated extraordinary friendship against people. Some scientists believe that friendliness and willingness to get closer to boats can actually mean "getting rid of harness.

" However, countries that use marine mammals for their own purposes, as a rule, do not particularly seek to reveal their strategies. It should be noted that the Russians are not the only ones who engage in dolphins, the US Navy also teach to the atoms to look for underwater mines and mark their habitat. These experiments have been ongoing since the 1960s, that is, in fact, we have been talking about decades of trials and research.
