Cyborg: The rats are having microchips implanted in their heads, allowing scientists to monitor brain waves
Daily Mail: Vladimir Putin unleashes his new secret weapon in the fight against ISIS - an army of super smelling RATS
* Scientists in Rostov-on-Don are hoping to harness rats' 'raptor neurons'
* Rats have microchips implanted so researchers can monitor brain waves
* Meanwhile, physiologists train rodents to recognise explosives and drugs
* Rats are already used to detect land mines in other parts of the world
Vladimir Putin is preparing to unleash his latest weapon in the war against terror: an army of cyborg rats.
Russian scientists are hoping to combine the rats and their amazing noses with the latest technology, allowing them to sniff out explosives or drugs in places which are impregnable to all but the very small.
If they are successful, the rodents will be able to alert their handlers to the dangerous or illegal material before they themselves have even had time to register it.
WNU Editor: This sounds like a trailer for a bad sci-fi/horror movie.
Update: Groan. It looks like I am behind the curve when it comes to Hollywood .... Willard (2003 Trailer).
