Russian Startup Develops Remote-Controlled Living Bath, Raises Military Use Concerns

A Russian startup named "Neiry" announced today the development of an unprecedented technology project focused on the remote control of a living bath, which the company refers to as a step toward what it labels as "biological drones."

According to European media reports, the company is believed to have indirect support from the daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, raising significant interest and concerns regarding the true objectives of the project, particularly in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Military technology experts suggest that the potential military applications of this innovation remain uncertain, as technical and ethical challenges currently limit its practical use.

Moreover, the ambitions of the project's leaders extend beyond technical aspects, as they have mentioned long-term goals that include influencing human behavior. Such statements have drawn sharp criticism, particularly regarding notions of "reprogramming" and the imposition of Russian identity, especially in light of the situation in Ukraine.
