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.

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
