The Javelin is one of the deadliest missiles in the world.

The Javelin missile is one of the most powerful, man-portable fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles in the world. That missile is proven it's capacity at least in Ukraine. 

The missile has been a deadly surprise for tanks in the Ukraine conflict. And that is forcing strategists to rethink the use of tanks on the battlefield. The Javelin-type missiles are always similar. The operator of that missile takes an image of the target. The control unit sends the image to the missile. 

And then the missile will recognize the target. When the image that the camera on the nose of the missile matches with the image which is stored in the computer's memory. The idea for that system is taken from TERCOM-navigational systems where the cruise missile uses the aerial images for navigation to the target. 

The missile knows, that it's on the right route. The same guidance system can use also in larger anti-tank and other precision-guided systems. The larger and more effective "Spike"-type missiles can have similar guidance systems. 

The heavy anti-tank missile can destroy the main battle tank at least 5,5 km. away from the launching site. But also even intercontinental ballistic missiles can use the same type of guidance system. Where the missile homes to target by using the image that is taken from aircraft or satellites. 

There is the possibility that some aerial vehicle or scout takes an image of the target and sends it to the missile. Artificial intelligence will determine the shape of the target and then the heavy anti-tank missile can find the target. The images that those missiles use can preload to the guidance system. 

Similar image-guidance systems can use also in modern anti-aircraft, air-to-air, and air-to-ground missiles and other smart munitions like smart grenades and ICBM missiles. 

Also, things like killer satellites can use modified Javelin missiles. The system can use the plates that are pushed to exhaust gas of the missile to turn its route. The system can use electromagnetic or kinetic warheads for destroying other satellites. 

The remarkable thing about the Javelin missile is that it can also use against the aerial target but it can be a deadly surprise even to warships. The smart guidance system of Javelin makes it possible to aim that missile to radar antenna or missile tube of the warship.

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
