Gadgets used by James Bond in the iconic film series have been slammed by real-life spies for being unrealistic.
Daniel Craig as James Bond
In the latest film, 'No Time to Die', Daniel Craig uses "smart blood" - a tracking and monitoring nanotechnology developed by MI6 - but spy bosses have rubbished the non-existent technology.
A statement released to The Sun newspaper said: “At present, no such technology exists which can be injected into the bloodstream.”
The UK National Authority for Counter-Eavesdropping went on to claim that if the method was real it would put people's lives "in danger."
Further pointing out the flaws in Bond's spy tech - which has previously included the likes of jetpacks and knife shoes over the course of the 25 movies - they said that blood tracking would be a "nightmare" in real life.
The statement added: "[It would be a] cyber-security nightmare. It would allow hostile intelligence agents to compromise the system.”
The fictional technology was first seen in the 2015 007 instalment 'Spectre' where it was issued by spymaster Q.
It comes after the MI6 advertised for a new real-life Q - who is played by Ben Whishaw in the latest films - to take on the role which requires up thinking new ways to tackle Britain's enemies.
The job description read: "MI6 needs to be at the cutting-edge of technology in order to stay ahead. As Q you are responsible for the teams who create and adopt technologies to enable our mission against the UK’s hardest adversaries. You turn disruptive technologies from threats to our operations into opportunities, putting MI6 at the leading edge of digital innovation."
