The work of Pentagon specialists with the biological material of Russians is associated with the study of the musculoskeletal system. This was reported to RIA Novosti by the representative of the US Air Force training aviation command Bo Downey.
Research is being conducted to identify various biomarkers associated with trauma, he said. "Since the original supplier - a US-based company - provided samples from Russia suitable for the initial group of diseases, then the control group of samples must also be of Russian origin," said the source.
Downey added that this is necessary for the integrity of the study, and the origin of the samples is not the goal.
On October 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights said that some forces with an incomprehensible purpose are collecting biological material from Russians throughout the country, doing it purposefully and professionally. Later, the Kremlin explained that the statement of the head of state was based on information from the Russian special services, and that the collectors of bio-data meant some emissaries and non-governmental organizations.
In July of this year, one of the structures of the US Air Force placed a tender for the purchase of living tissues of Caucasian Russians. The department required samples of RNA molecules that are involved in the implementation of human genetic information, and synovial fluid, which ensures joint mobility.
