Скачать или смотреть How America Turned a Cat Into a Spy / Cold War Story

In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the CIA embarked on one of the most bizarre and expensive intelligence operations in history: Operation Acoustic Kitty. They spent $20 million trying to transform an ordinary tabby cat into a living surveillance device.This is the incredible true story of how American engineers surgically implanted a microphone in a cat's ear, ran wires through its body, placed a transmitter in its skull, and turned its tail into an antenna—all in a desperate attempt to spy on Soviet agents in Washington D.C.But could they train a cat to follow orders? Could they make it approach specific targets and stay still long enough to record classified conversations? And what happened on that fateful day when Operation Acoustic Kitty finally went into the field?This declassified CIA operation sounds too absurd to be true, but every word is documented in official government files released in 2001. It's a story of Cold War paranoia, technological ambition, and the fundamental truth that some things in nature simply cannot be controlled—no matter how much money you spend.
