Russia shot down one of its Su-35S fighter-bombers.

  Russia shot down one of its Su-35S fighter-bombers. 


Human error, or somebody who might jam the jet fighter's IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system, can cause this kind of episode. So if we talk about human errors, we should ask what caused those errors. Or maybe someone forgot to drive the IFF codes to the computers that control the AA systems. 

The jammer systems that deny the IFF system to transmit their codes to AA radars can cause situations where their air defense shoots aircraft down. Modern jet fighters and attack aircraft have only a couple of minutes or seconds to react when they see unknown, maybe hostile aircraft. If the aircraft comes closer to the headquarters would be an enemy attack aircraft, like the Ukrainian MiG-29 armed with "Storm Shadow" missiles, that aircraft could destroy the headquarters. 

One version of how to break the stealth technology is to use the IFF systems as the target.  AA crew can aim antiradiation missiles at the IFF system. Those radio transmitters are one vulnerability in stealth aircraft. 



The IFF system is a problematic part of the aircraft. The radio signal, that the IFF system sends makes aircraft vulnerable against the radar-homing missiles. Jammer systems that send radio signals to deny radar- or radio communication are vulnerable against antiradiation missiles. This means there are always new systems under development. 

Electronic warfare is becoming more important in modern battlefields. The drone systems require communication. And if the system can jam GPS and data communication. That makes it harder to use drones and communicate with troops. Also, jammers can deny the drone swarms internal communication. The jammer systems can be the target for HARM-type missiles created to destroy ECM systems and other radio transmitters. 

The stealth is the ultimate tool. But the next generation of radars and surveillance systems are hacking the stealth. The CCD cameras and lidar systems are making old-fashioned stealth useless. Same way next-generation AA radars might use pressure waves and other non-direct observation methods to uncover the stealth. The pressure waves around the aircraft are possible to detect by using AI-controlled systems that connect the data from multiple sources. 

And the weapon development is the race between the ultimate attacker and ultimate defender. The next-generation IFF systems might also use AI-based radar systems. The radar sends the identification request to the IFF system that answers that request. Then the AI starts to follow the aircraft that closes the IFF. And if it loses the target it can ask for identification again. That thing minimizes the need to send radio signals all the time. That helps stealth planes to complete their mission and makes them harder targets for enemy missiles.

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...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

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...
