Question about the survivability of drones against the anti-aircraft systems.

Some Ukrainian operators criticized drones and say that those systems would not survive a long time because Russians transported effective anti-aircraft systems to the front. A drone is so-called loitering ammunition. 

It is a similar tool to submarines and other aircraft. The idea is that the system stays undetected. If the submarine is detected, it's easy to destroy. Same way, aircraft is easy to destroy if some weapons are targeted and locked to it.

Forbes says: 


The Bayraktar TB-2 Drones are made this kind of result and destroyed the next targets:


-6 armored fighting vehicles 

-5 towed artillery,

-1 multi-rocket launcher

-2 anti-aircraft guns

-10 helicopters

-6 naval ships

-3 command posts

-1 communication station

-2 logistics trains and numerous resupply trucks.


Ukrainians lost 8 Baraktar drones


The Ukrainian military reportedly started the war with just 30 of these drones and has lost only 8 in combat. So the ratio is good for drones.

The laser systems above are meant for manned aircraft. But drones can use similar systems. 

Drones are easy targets for anti-aircraft missiles if they are detected. This is the thing that people must realize. The use of drones bases that the drone itself is undetected. So the drone is so-called loitering ammunition. The purpose of it is to be hard to see, and easy to destroy. But then we must ask one question: why do the Russians transport effective anti-aircraft systems to the front only now? 

The drone flies slowly. And it's easy to jam. So it should be an easy target for combat helicopters and aircraft. So why Russians didn't shoot those Bayraktar drones down? if they are easy targets. When we are thinking about the survivability of the drone, we must understand that there is the possibility that some western drones have counter-missile systems. 

That anti-missile system is like an airborne version of the Israeli Trophy system that is made to protect tanks. When the system detects incoming missiles it will shoot them by using some kind of laser or some other directed energy weapon or machine gun, that mission is to destroy or jam the incoming missiles. But the question is what drone makes those kills? Is it some kind of Bayraktar or smaller Kamikaze drones? 

The Kamikaze drones are smaller and cheaper than those larger drones. Drones like Grey Eagle are like remote-controlled aircraft. But Kamikaze drones are easier to make. They are more like some small-size cruise missiles. All drones can point the targets to artillery, aircraft, or kamikaze drones. Also, kamikaze drones can make the targeting missions. And when their fuel is ending they can dive against their target.

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
