Is China's Xian H-20 bomber so powerful as it should be?

If the point of view to estimate the abilities of that bomber, it might base the same technology that is in use of B-2 Spirit. Is the technology, what is in use in those bombers hacked? Are there radars or other systems that can track the target by using some kind of anti-stealth methodology? Stealth aircraft are the most lethal military machines in the world, but the fact is that those systems are the entirety.

The stealth bombers can operate with free-fall bombs but the most used weapons are smart, precision-guided stand-off weapons like JDAM-type weapons, and also stealth cruise missiles, which are giving the stealth bombers very high accuracy and ability to destroy the different type of targets. Those weapons might have conventional or nuclear warheads. The old-fashion salvo bombing causes that the aircraft is easier to locate, and then the missiles would aim to that point. The modern anti-aircraft missiles have an image-homing system, which would find the target by using the camera image.

This thing means that stealth bombers must not go near the target itself and it can give minimum radar echo by falling small-size bombs and other weapons. In this case, the size of the bomb is small, if we compare it with the size of the stealth bomber itself. But those weapons require stealth technology and the other thing is that the thing, that makes those weapons effective is the high accuracy. If those weapons have low accuracy, the use of nuclear warheads will be attractive. The low accuracy means that the use of nuclear weapons will be lower because the conventional strike capacity is not enough in those cases, where the navigation and positioning satellites signal is cut by using some kind of electronic countermeasures.

Precision-guided weapons require navigation satellites or some other methods to point the target. And the question is does China this kind of technology, and how accurate those targeting satellites are? China's new hypersonic missiles are extremely lethal if they can reach the target. China can attack against fixed targets by using pre-targeted satellite-guided bombs and missiles. The coordinates of the target can set to the inertial navigation system of those aircraft if the pointing signal would cut, and that thing means that the accuracy of those bombs would be not so high, that they can harm hardened targets by using conventional warheads.

But the fact is that the H-20 is a lethal machine. Even if technology, what is used in it would be old-fashion. The stealth capacity of that bomber gives it a more powerful strike capacity than the H-6 bombers, which are copies of the 1950s Soviet Tu-16 "Bagler" bombers, which are basing old-fashion technology. The H-20 is a big advantage for the People's Liberation Army. And that would increase its strike capacity, but the question is how big this threat is?

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.

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...
