The USAF hypersonic missile test was successful.



The B-52 "Stratofortress" carries  AGM-183 hypersonic missile during tests. 


The USAF tested AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") hypersonic missile. And this time test was successful. The ARRW is meant to use against fixed targets like bunkers and runways. The speed of this weapon is about Mach 5+ and the difference between ARRW and the Russian "Kinzhal" hypersonic missile is that AGM-183 doesn't need a supersonic carrier. To reach the hypersonic speed. 

The limit of the "Kinzhal" missile is that its carrier plane is a MiG-31. And that aircraft can carry only one of that missiles. The drop airplane for AGM-183 is always been a B-52 Stratofortress. And that means the global strike force can use that missile on any platform that it has. So it can be the ultimate weapon for the B-52 "Stratofortress", B-1 "Lancer", B-2 "Spirit", and the new B-21 "Raider". There is the possibility that AGM-183 can also be installed in the ballistic missile. That allows ballistic missiles to make the ballistic jump outside the atmosphere. 

Then that missile releases the hypersonic missile that can fly by using a low trajectory to the target. It is suspicious that the AGM-183 and its successors planned to use along with the new top secret hypersonic aircraft that are basing the SR-72 test plane. The fact is that hypersonic weapons are shown their capacity. And the development of those systems continues. That thing means that the next-generation hypersonic missiles can destroy also naval targets like moving warships. 

The fact is the hypersonic missile is an ultimate weapon. If that weapon flies over the target area at a low altitude with a speed that is much higher than the speed of sound the pressure wave that follows the weapon is devastating. The hypersonic missile can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. But it can also use kinetic energy for destroying the target. The last option would be useful in surgical strikes against small-size targets.

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...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
