Norway: The Russian Navy trains whales as 'special forces'

Oceanographic experts in Norway argue that the Russian navy trains white whales and many other mammals to serve the military purpose of the task force.

From last week, fishermen in the sea near the fishing village of Inga, Norway, said a beluga white whale wearing a strange bridle appeared and harassed fishing boats here, according to the Guardian.

"We spread the net and saw the whale swimming among the boats. It swam across us, and when it came close, we found it wearing some kind of harness or harness on the body," said fisherman Joar Hesten. talk to Norway's NRK television station.

With the belt around him supposedly to hold the camera or weapon, the whale swims near the ships, trying to pull the straps and ropes on either side of the ship. The strange behavior of this animal raises suspicion that it is trained by Russia to serve military purposes. After being removed, the inside of the belt revealed the words "Equipment of St. Peterburg" .

Martin Biuw from the Norwegian Marine Research Institute said "if this whale comes from Russia, and the possibility is so high, then not scientists but the navy is the one behind".
