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.

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...
