Killer drones are effective tools.

 Killer drones are effective tools. 



The drone can operate two ways on the battlefield. 


1) The drone can point targets to other machines like artillery and aircraft. In that case, the drone sends its location to fire control. Then it measures the distance and direction of the target. That data allows the operators to aim weapons at the precise right point. 


2) The drone itself can destroy targets. There are two models of that kind of drone. 


A) Kamikaze drones. Those drones are miniature-size cruise missiles. Some of them can patrol the battlefield. They can send data from their nose camera to command centers. And when their fuel is ended, those drones can dive against their targets. 

B) Weaponized killer drones. Those drones are equipped with weapons. And that makes them like miniaturized combat helicopters or combat aircraft. When people talk about autonomous killing, the question is about the point where operators give fire commands. The operator can give a fire command just after the drone is airborne. And then those persons will drive the image to the computer's memory. The problem with remote control is always that data connection is easy to jam.

Drones are game-changing technology in military operations. And the Ukrainian killer drones might make independent or autonomous attacks against their targets. That means the next-generation killer drones are coming. That is a sad thing, but the reality is that drones are a cheap and effective way to destroy enemy infrastructure. The system is quite easy to make, and even a non-educated person can modify things like Pizza-delivery drones to drop bombs or grenades. 

If a drone must only travel to some point, and drop weapons, the system that delivers pizza must just modify to carry and drop weapons. Drones, like Finnish design Steel Eagle, carry explosives that can deliver 3,000 steel balls over the enemy. The AI is cheap. But the Steel Eagle also can carry rib mines where the melted metal can penetrate at least thin armor.

 And the face-recognition software is easy to modify for target-recognition missions. Then the system must only calculate the azimuth of the weapon, which can be a LAW-80 type weapon. The drone swarms can exchange information very effectively. The other drone will locate the point, where the target is, and then another drone can shoot it over ground barriers. But larger drones can carry guided munitions. 

The counter-weapons against drones and drone swarms are machine guns and AA missiles that use high-fragmented steel that can cause large-area damage to drone swarms. The drone swarms are problematic because they might have thousands of participants. And everyone must be shot down. 

DEWs:s (Direct Energy Weapons) like lasers and microwaves damage drone structures and electronics that should destroy those drones. The idea in the attacks against drone swarms is that AA can destroy as large a proportion as possible of those swarms. 

That decreases the drone swarms' data-handling ability. Things like computer viruses can also deny a drone's ability to operate. Also, things like electronic countermeasures or jammer systems can deny the communication between drones and their operators. 

Saker Scout

The name of the game: An Improved attacker against an improved defender. 


The Saker Scout is capable of independent operation. That makes it immune to regular jamming systems. But, those kinds of independently operating drones are not immune against high-power EMP systems that can destroy their electronics. Also, things like computer viruses can affect those drones and their ability to make their missions. The drones can strike without warning, and that creates the need to create automatized and more advanced air defense tools. 

Another thing is that all drones are not flying. They can operate like cars or submarines. The drone has encased propellers that can turn into the wagon that drives in the bunkers. And that requires new types of defense systems. The "wagon drone" can travel underwater or on the road, and it can also fly. That hybrid ability gives them the ultimate surprise effect. And the defender must react very fast in that case.

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
