 MQ-9 Reaper is getting its successor

The defense companies and military forces are researching the best successor for the MQ-9 Reaper-piston engine drone, which is the most used and deadliest of so-called killer-drones. The next-generation drones are more sophisticated, more surviving, and deadly than ever before, and the stealth-kamikaze drones are ready to take the place as the next generation cruise missiles. 

The X-49 "Sentinel"-type drones can be equipped with nuclear warheads, and they can be used as the cruise missiles, which can return to the base if those systems are not used. The nuclear bomb can be dropped to the target by using drones or the drone can operate as the missile in that kind of strikes. 

The thing is that the MQ-9 is extremely brutal, but sadly its a very effective system, which has many types of missions. MQ-9 can be used against ground and air targets, but the successor of that drone is capable of full-scale air combat. And the case, where artificial intelligence is winning the human pilots is making the development of that kind of drones more supported than ever before. 

The thing that is needed is an effect, and war is murder anyway. So people who are working with killer-drones are thinking that those drones are only the missiles, which can destroy multiple targets. And killer-drones that have air combat capacity are only the enhanced cruise missiles. 

The robot warriors don't need training at all. The thing that the operators must make is just activating the attack module of those robots. Even if robots are made for some other duties, only chancing the programs is needed to make them the ultimate soldiers. The problem is that robots can have a thing called "ghost protocol". When a robot notices something like a gun, it can activate its combat module. The thing is that the face recognition software recognizes the targeted person that thing activates the termination module. 

And if that module is connected to things like robot cars, that could cause that robot car attacks that person. That thing is bringing terrible thoughts in the mind of some people. What if some criminal puts that kind of program to the control system of the computer-controlled cars? Could that thing introduce as the "error in system", when a robot car smashes some witnesses of the criminal activities out from the streets?  

When we are talking about things like prohibiting those weapons, we must remember that any military force is not discarding its biggest gun. The killer-drones and robot weapons are under development in the many other states than in the USA. The other countries are at least China, Russia, and some NATO countries. And the thing, what makes robot weapons addictive is that those weapons are always loyal to their commanders. 

And that thing is one of the biggest threats in those weapons. They don't know who is giving orders. They just know that the operator has the right key. So that means that the unauthorized use of those drones and robot warriors is possible.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
