The Guardian [theguardian.com]:

“We were going to put out nets when we saw a whale swimming between the boats,” fisherman Joar Hesten told Norwegian broadcaster NRK [www.nrk.no]. “It came over to us, and as it approached, we saw that it had some sort of harness on it.”

The strange behaviour of the whale, which was actively seeking out the vessels and trying to pull straps and ropes from the sides of the boats, as well as the fact it was wearing a tight harness which seemed to be for a camera or weapon, raised suspicions among marine experts that the animal had been given military-grade training by neighbouring Russia [theguardian.com]. Inside the harness, which has now been removed from the whale, were the words “Equipment of St. Petersburg”.

The Russians are winning the race to weaponize sharks with laser beams.
