The Cold War

Currently Playing: How Animals were used to wage The Cold War

Our historical documentary series on the history of the Cold War continues with a video looking at three examples of how animals were proposed to be used to wage the Cold War. The first is the CIA's project Acoustic Kitty, a remote control spy cat. The second is Project Blue Peacock, the British use of chickens to detonate atomic bombs. And the third example is the Soviet training of dolphins for underwater operations.
