The defense against cruise missiles

The defense against cruise missiles

Russia says that the U.S missile defense is useless against cruise missiles(1). The thing is that the nuclear-powered cruise missiles and the Hypersonic Cruise Missiles (HCM) are very difficult targets, and the thing is that the development of those missiles is not a new idea. If the nuclear-powered cruise missiles shot down, the pollution will cause problems in the large areas. The idea of that kind of system born in the 1950s.

And the idea was that when the nuclear-powered missile would fly across some nation, that missile would cause horrifying radioactive waste, which can be very lethal. In some early cruise missile concepts were planned to fly a quite low altitude with extremely high speed and where the cone, what the high-speed flight causes would destroy everything in the route of the missile. The codename for the American project was "Project Pluto"(2).

Russian nuclear-powered cruise missiles are more advanced than the U.S concept. The name of that nuclear-powered cruise missile is The 9M730 Burevestnik (NATO: SSC-X-9 "Skyfall")(3). That cruise missile is installed under TU-160 "Blackjack" bombers and "Oscar II" class cruise missile submarines.

Russia has also conventional anti-ship hypersonic cruise missiles(4). There has also developed the hypersonic cruise missiles by using ballistic missiles to take them to the suborbital trajectory, and then that system would launch the engines when it re-enters to the atmosphere.

The idea of conventional hypersonic cruise missiles is not new either. The hypersonic scramjet cruise missile-projects reported from the former Soviet Union. The goal was to develop the cruise missile, which would shot out from the atmosphere by using a ballistic trajectory. When the missile dives back to the atmosphere and if the speed is high enough, the ramjet or scramjet engines would start. The speed of the hypersonic cruise missiles about Mach 8 to 12. The speed of the ammunition of GAU-8 "Avenger" cannon, when they hit to target is about Mach 1,5, and the wight is about 400 grams (5).

That cannon is used in the famous A-10 "Thunderbolt II" The hypersonic cruise system would carry the concrete profile, what weight are 500 kilograms to the target by the speed of Mach 12. So the kinetic energy of that kind of impact is very high, and even without explosions, the kinetic energy causes very big destructions if that kind of missile hits the things like a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. That can cause that the entire ship will vaporize. And if the HCM is equipped with a nuclear warhead, that thing is hard to intercept, because it's so low-flying.

The thing is that the U.S missile defense system is created for defensive purposes. That means that some actions that are created for that system are meant to keep undercover. When the enemy missiles are coming there is things, what is making those missiles effective against a certain type of targets.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber. That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation. Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body. Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...
