In God we trust, others we monitoring

Over the Baltic Sea are one of the most populous airspaces for reconnaissance and intelligence aircraft. Those multimission aircraft are collecting visual and electromagnetic data from the opposite side systems, and also one of the most important shipyards of the Russian Navy is ashore of the Baltic sea. The intelligence aircraft are collecting acoustic data from the sound, what those surface ships and submarines are sending, while they are going in the test drive. The mission of the intelligence is warning about the actions of the opposite side, and give time for own troops to react the hostile attempts.

And the Baltic area is one of the most important areas of the scenarios, where Russia begins invasion to Europe. In this scenario, the Russian naval vehicles would launch cruise missiles to the targets what locates in Denmark and Germany. In those attacks would be used the new "Kalibr" missiles, what is effective against surface warships and land targets like airbases. The new Russian frigates have those missiles on board as well as most of its submarines can use those new missiles.

The ground-based IRBM systems are been prohibited in the paper, but when the contract of those weapons is unraveled, the weapon systems like Tomahawk can be installed to the ground-based launchers. The Tomahawk missile is problematic because it can be launched from the standard BQM-119 drone launcher, and this makes the system very effective. Those target-drones are easy to the convent as missiles by just installing warheads to them. And that's why those missiles are very problematic in the eyes of international law. The similar system in Russia is SS-N-21, which is used in the same purposes as Tomahawk.

When we are talking about the naval cruise missiles, the reason why those weapons are most often installed precisely on board of the ships is that they are well protected in those platforms. That means that harming those systems by ground troops attack is very difficult and the secrets of those weapons are not leaking even to the other friendly nations. Shipborne cruise missiles are easy to send any operative areas around the world, and because they are far away from the coastline,  they cannot be captured by the tank- or commando attack.

If the cruise- or ballistic missile launcher is located, that target can be destroyed by airstrike and even the normal rifles are dangerous for missiles, what have no protection, but the thing is, that the missile launcher must first be located, before the attack against it is possible. The mission of the recon planes is to locate those launchers if they are placed near the borders of friendly nations or in the strike radius from the important targets.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
