Why The F-22 is more secretive than F-35 what made it's maiden flight 10 years after the F-22?


Eurasian times asks why the USA would not sell F-22 Raptors to Israel, but sold F-35 to them? The answer is that the F-22 Raptor is more advanced and deadly than F-35, even the serial number of the aircraft is smaller. F-35 made its maiden flight in 2006, almost 10 years after F-22, so why F-22 cannot sell to Israel? The F-35 is a multinational project, but the F-22 is a national project of Lockheed-Martin aircraft corporation and the fact is that there is a very small number of the vital data has been given about the F-22. 


And the horrifying thing is that the F-22 project began in the 1990s. The F-22 made its maiden flight in 1997, and there are no details of the operations of those aircraft. Except they were used in the War of Syria, but the role is not clear. Maybe F-22 is mainly meant for attacking against radar stations than in full-scale combat missions. There is reported that USAF has 187 operational F-22 fighters. 


On the Wikipedia page of that plane is mentioned many types of systems. But the thing is that the details of them are kept secret or not mention for some other reasons. The small internal bomb bay limits the firepower for that aircraft, and that's why it was not suitable in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the stealth core wound makes them suitable for an attack against radar stations. 


So there must be some upgrades for that aircraft but the thing, what makes it interesting is the silence around it. When the first images of this "hit package" have been introduced to the press with its competitor Northrop F-23 "Black Widow", what lost the competition. F-22 was planned to be the successor for the F-117 "Nighthawks". That stealth strike aircraft made their maiden flight during the "Have Blue" program in the 1970s. 


One F-117 attack plane shot down over Serbia in 1999 and that is the only reported loss of the stealth attack plane. So that means that stealth aircraft was not a disappointment even one of them shot down. The concept introduced in the 1970s turned old. And that means its stealth structure has hacked a long time ago. 


So there is "missing numbers" in aircraft between F-22 and F-35, and that thing means that there is a work done in the Groom Lake and Palmdale areas. And that means there could be many new aircraft and things, which are not published are done in those places.

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...
