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.

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...

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...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
