The new hypersonic missile variants concern the USA and NATO.

Russia is taking new 3M22 Zircon missiles in service. Zircon is an air-breathing scramjet or ramjet propeller missile. The speed range of the missile is Mach 5 to Mach 9. And maybe the Mach 9 model uses scramjet. And Mach 5 model uses ramjet. Wikipedia says that the Zircon uses scramjet, so there may be two models of that missile other is reserved only for the Russian fleet. And another is the export model.

Russia has another hypersonic weapon already in service. That is an air-launched Kh-47M2 Kinzhal which uses a conventional rocket engine.

The speed of the Kinzhal missile is Mach 10 to Mach 12. But its flight range is more limited. The dropping aircraft is normally a TU-22B or MiG-31 that takes the missile near to its target. And then it can launch that missile.And the system uses regular rocket engines.

China has two long-range hypersonic missiles in service. DF-21D and DF-26B. Those weapons are meant to destroy the US fleet of aircraft carriers. DF-21D is an anti-ship ballistic missile. And the DF-26B is an anti-ship variant of the DF-26A missile.

DF-17 is a ballistic missile with a hypersonic glider. There is the possibility that the DF-17 glider is installed in the DF-21 and DF-26 missiles. There is also claiming that the Zircon is a copy of the DF-17 missile. But Russians say that Zircon uses scramjet engines and is more advanced than any of those weapons before.

So those Chinese missiles are ballistic missiles that can launch from far away in the drylands. Those weapons are more conventional IRBM (Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles) with precision-guided warheads than some hypersonic cruise missiles.

There are visions that the scramjet-driven cruise missile can be shoot to ballistic trajectory by using conventional rockets. The rocket takes that cruise missile out of the atmosphere. And then the cruise missile falls back into the atmosphere. When the cruise missile's speed increases enough high. The scramjet engine can start.

The hypersonic cruise missile can fly at a very high speed at a high altitude. The operational altitude of the hypersonic scramjet-driven missile is higher than a regular cruise missile. But it is lower than ICBM missiles.

That makes defense against those hypersonic weapons difficult. The altitude where hypersonic missiles are flying is very high. That denies overheating of the body of the missile. The missile's speed must be high enough that the scramjet engine can get enough oxygen.

There are tested laser weapons against those hypersonic cruise systems. Hypersonic cruise missiles that use stealth technology are hard to detect. If the defender can calculate the trajectory of the incoming hypersonic cruise missile there is possible to aim counter-actions against those missiles. The hypersonic missile can have a microwave transmitter in its nose. That transmitter or microwave weapon gets its energy from a rapid air generator.

That system makes defense against hypersonic weapons more difficult. The microwaves are giving EMP impulses to the target. And those impulses can also destroy or damage the incoming surface-to-air missiles that shot against the track of the hypersonic missile.

The new 6th. generation jet fighters can also have the ability to shoot down hypersonic missiles. Those jet fighters might also have the ability to fly with hypersonic speed and shoot down hypersonic targets by using some traditional weapon or laser weapon. So the ultimate weapon will face the counter weapon. And then some new solution makes that counter weapon useless.

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
