El programa entrena delfines para detectar minas y proteger instalaciones navales, mientras persisten dudas y versiones sobre usos m\u00e1s extremos que los expertos ponen en cuesti\u00f3n<\/p>\n

El programa de delfines entrenados para operaciones militares en Estados Unidos<\/b> es objeto de debates, inquietudes y rumores sobre su verdadero prop\u00f3sito. Las consultas sobre su uso se reavivan tras las recientes declaraciones del secretario de Guerra<\/a> Pete Hegseth<\/b>.<\/p>\n

La discusi\u00f3n cobr\u00f3 visibilidad cuando se pregunt\u00f3 a Hegseth si Ir\u00e1n utilizaba delfines kamikaze en el estrecho de Ormuz; el funcionario respondi\u00f3: \u201cNo puedo ni afirmar ni negar que Estados Unidos tenga delfines kamikaze. S\u00ed puedo negar que Ir\u00e1n los tenga<\/b>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Entre mitos y operaciones reales<\/h2>\n

Estados Unidos mantiene desde 1959 un programa de mam\u00edferos marinos en su Armada, donde se entrenan delfines y leones marinos para operaciones de vigilancia, detecci\u00f3n de minas y protecci\u00f3n de instalaciones costeras.<\/p>\n

\u201cEs verdad que Estados Unidos hace mucho tiempo tiene un programa de delfines dentro de la Armada norteamericana,<\/b> pero no son delfines kamikaze.<\/b> No se est\u00e1n inmolando los delfines contra nada. Los tienen justamente porque son un animal que tiene much\u00edsimas capacidades\u201d, explic\u00f3 en Infobae en Vivo Al Mediod\u00eda<\/a>, Andrei Serbin Pont. El experto detall\u00f3 que el sistema de los delfines les permite localizar objetos submarinos con gran precisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

A finales de la d\u00e9cada de 1950, la Armada estadounidense inici\u00f3 programas para entrenar delfines y leones marinos en tareas vinculadas a la seguridad naval.<\/b> El analista subray\u00f3: \u201cLos primeros fueron para detectar minas\u201d.<\/p>\n

En los a\u00f1os setenta, estos mam\u00edferos colaboraron en misiones antisabotaje en Vietnam, mientras que en los \u201880 protegieron instalaciones en el golfo P\u00e9rsico. En Irak, en 2003, \u201cm\u00e1s de cien minas navales fueron detectadas por delfines entrenados espec\u00edficamente para este tipo de tareas<\/b>\u201d, indic\u00f3 Serbin Pont.<\/p>\n

Hoy, unidades de delfines siguen desplegadas en bases navales estadounidenses para proteger submarinos nucleares y \u00e1reas restringidas. Los cient\u00edficos resaltan que la habilidad de estos animales para reconocer minas o intrusos sigue superando a ciertos desarrollos tecnol\u00f3gicos.<\/p>\n

Rumores sobre Ir\u00e1n y el legado sovi\u00e9tico<\/h2>\n

Algunas versiones atribuidas al colapso de la Uni\u00f3n Sovi\u00e9tica sugieren que Ir\u00e1n habr\u00eda heredado un grupo de delfines entrenados en Ucrania. \u201cEl entrenador principal, Boris Zurib, ante la falta de fondos, tiene una oferta por parte de Ir\u00e1n<\/b> y \u00e9l se termina trasladando a Ir\u00e1n con 27 delfines y contin\u00faa una suerte de programa que nunca se sabe en qu\u00e9 qued\u00f3 el programa de delfines iran\u00ed\u201d, relat\u00f3 Serbin Pont.<\/p>\n

Sin embargo, aclar\u00f3: \u201cProbablemente las declaraciones de Pete Hegseth son acertadas en que es improbable la existencia de un programa de delfines suicidas iran\u00edes. Pero s\u00ed sabemos que permanece y contin\u00faa un programa norteamericano de delfines, principalmente orientado a detectar objetos y a detectar posibles intrusiones en las instalaciones navales de los Estados Unidos\u201d.<\/p>\n

El analista remarc\u00f3 que los rumores sobre delfines kamikaze carecen de fundamento concreto<\/b>: \u201cEl principal argumento en contra de la existencia del delf\u00edn kamikaze, espec\u00edficamente, es que los delfines no tendr\u00edan la capacidad que tienen los humanos, que es de distinguir un blanco\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3.<\/p>\n

A su vez, explic\u00f3 que entrenar a un mam\u00edfero para identificar enemigos resulta un desaf\u00edo casi insalvable, por lo que el uso m\u00e1s habitual est\u00e1 orientado a la detecci\u00f3n y la prevenci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u201cEn el caso de los perros, los entrenados de la polic\u00eda se divierten mucho. Juegan. El perro entrenado juega\u201d, coment\u00f3. \u201cNo est\u00e1n matando delfines. Esto no es una tarea de matanza de delfines\u201d.<\/p>\n

El programa de delfines permanece dentro de la estrategia militar estadounidense<\/b>, centrado en la seguridad portuaria y el rastreo de minas o intrusiones humanas en territorio mar\u00edtimo restringido.<\/p>\n
