    according to Forbes Russia and a company statement

    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

      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.

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