The Russian army of secret agents will enlarge with new fill-ins promising to be even better than their human colleagues.

Control devices are planted on turtle's shield and vibrations penetrating through it make the animal follow orders, Alexey Burkinov from the State Pedagogical University in Rostov explained. Special surveillance devices can also be planted there, he said.
