Russia transfers "Iskander" tactical ballistic missiles near the border of Ukraine.




The thing is that situation at the Ukraine border is turning hotter. The Russian highly mobile SRBM (Short Range Ballistic Missiles) was transported near the Ukrainian border. Those highly mobile battlefield systems are extremely powerful. And they can transport to the operational area fast. Those missiles are The 9K720 Iskander (NATO reporting name SS-26 "Stone"). There is one thing that makes those tactical missiles very "interesting".  

They are hard to find but "easy to destroy". The thing that can be effective against those systems is the "Predator" drone that can patrol at the sky and then destroy the missile launchers. But that thing is extremely difficult to make in the practical world. There is the possibility that there are infrared and radiation suppressors in those transporter vehicles. So they are not easy to find. And they are supported by anti-aircraft and jet-fighter combinations. So that means that those "Iskander" missiles are hard to destroy. 

Those mobile launchers can bring to the operational area by using the airplane. And there is possible parachute delivery ability in those launcher trucks. That means the large-size strategic cargo planes can drop those missiles into a combat zone where they can whip enemy forces away in seconds. There is the possibility that there is some kind of "police role" in those tactical missiles. They can use to destroy also rebellious troops.

There are many types of warheads in those missiles. The nuclear, bunker-busting, or cluster warheads with HE and thermobaric options are the things that are making those advanced and deadly missiles capable and respected systems. In nuclear strategy, those tactical missiles are supported by aircraft and more powerful strategic missiles. So if tactical systems fail, the next step is to use full-scale thermonuclear devices. 

Why have those highly mobile nuclear-capable missiles are not ever faced criticism? Why they are more acceptable than some "Predator"-drones? The missiles are the most powerful weapons. And there is always a risk that the battlefield missile systems will be stolen. 

Predator drones are faced criticism but those tactical missile systems have not caused any kind of discussions. Those tactical nuclear-capable missiles are the thing that might seem only the battlefield use weapons. But the fact is that nuclear warheads make them very capable and feared systems.

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...
