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.

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...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...

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...
