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.

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...
