What causes the failure of the Russian air war in Ukraine?



One reason for the failure of Russian air combat in the Ukrainian conflict is found in the article below this text. At the beginning of the war, Russian Su-30 SM, Su-34, and Su-35S jet fighters made multiple air-to-air and -air-to-ground missions. 

And especially the attacks whose target was log-range radar-station and other high-priority targets. Russians made those attacks by using single aircraft. And then they didn't confirm was the target destroyed. Or was the radar just shut down for protecting it against anti-radar missiles? 

They might believe that the tank regiments take those targets in the hands of Russian troops very soon after the attack anyway. So the Russian pilots or some people in the command chain thought that the confirmation of the effect of the strike was somehow unnecessary. 

And then the radars were not destroyed and continued their operations. Another reason for the failure of air combat is probably between the chair and the dashboard. If those pilots didn't get enough practice for that kind of operation.

They cannot make their duty as they should. The fact is, at least these Su-34 and Su-35 planes are much better than MiG-29 and Su-27. But the problem is that there is the possibility that some of those Russian fighters were not what they should be. If the microchips or some other things were not properly working. That causes the accuracy of those missions decreases. 

Also, if Russians must end their ECM operations. That leaves aircraft without full protection. There is a possibility that Russian ECM systems caused problems for their own troop's communication. And that's why air vehicles are left without protection. When Russian troops didn't get information that the air defense was still operational they sent cargo helicopters and troop-transport aircraft to Ukraine's airfield. And those vehicles were easy targets even for older war machines. 

Did VDV troops that attacked Kyiv's airfield protected by combat helicopters?  

Or what those helicopters and landing heavy transport aircraft could do? They were easy targets for rapid-firing AA guns and shoulder-launched missiles. And if the heavy cargo aircraft is just touching the airfield when Javelin or Stinger hits it. That causes a situation where aircraft cannot make any maneuvers. 

Or what was their target? There are two airfields in Kyiv. Was predicted to target Antonov's airfield. Or was it Kyiv international? If the pilots attacked against wrong targets and then troop transporters started to land at that airfield whose defense was untouchable they were easy to destroy.

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...
