Strategic and tactical nuclear forces can have the same targets.



One historical thing in the Ukraine conflict is the first time in history the world convicts attack that is made by a permanent member of the Security Council and holds a powerful nuclear arsenal. Russia's nuclear stockpile is very impressive. That is 5977 nuclear warheads. 

And NATO has about 100 B-61 nuclear bombs in Europe. That might not seem very much. But the NATOs 5th. generation F35 Lightning II stealth fighter-bombers survivability is better than Russians.

That means those fast-flying-low observable stealth aircraft can attack deep inside Russian territory. And if the nuclear weapons are used against Russian nuclear bases that can decrease Russia's capacity to use their nuclear weapons. 

Fast-flying stealth fighters can use for strategic purposes as well as in tactical missions. The thing that limits the use of those systems is the airborne refueling capacity. And if one nuclear bomb drops on Moscow that causes very large destruction. 

The thing with nuclear systems is that strategic weapons can have a tactical role. And otherwise, a tactical nuke can also use against enemy strategic installations. The deep penetrating stealth aircraft can operate in both roles. Or strategic nuclear weapons with low-yield warheads can also hit the enemy troops that are near the frontline.

Heavy cargoplanes can transport military equipment to the frontline from thousands of kilometers in a couple of hours. 

The thing is that strategic and tactical nuclear weapons have no certain border. 15 kt. nuclear weapon can use in both missions.

And the question is always this. Is some military pit located thousands of kilometers from the frontline strategic or tactical target? What if that base supports strategic bombers or jet fighters that are operating at the frontline thousands of kilometers away from their base tactical or strategic target?

The key element is logistics. What if somebody loads hyper loops with troops and ammunition? Those extremely fast trains can transport people and cargo. Same way, they can transport military equipment. 

Heavy cargo planes and bullet trains are connecting factories from thousands of kilometers to the frontline. So that means even if the military base is thousands of kilometers away from conflict troops can travel very fast to the frontline. And that thing obscures the border between strategic and tactical targets.

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...

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...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
