Russian company Neiry has tested pigeons as biodrones in Moscow, using neural implants and electronics to enhance their flight capabilities for various monitoring tasks.
This is a remote control situation. The bird would do bird things once out of a control signal. They aren’t claiming full override and programming.
I could easily see strapping a camera to a pigeon and training it. Maybe even remotely monitoring it and using a pre-trained electrical pulse to change direction.
These claims are beyond that. This is possibly the equivalent of scientist cures cancer where a reported misunderstands what is actually being presented.
duh
edit: as for radio, if it’s not required to be realtime it would make a lot of sense to carry sd cards instead
You are putting a lot of faith in a people that can’t even build a competent tank.
I know I’m just theorizing

yea true, they did mention preloading flight paths, so it might be radio-less (apart from gps ig)
