A concept of directed energy weapon (Image: Lockheed Martin) (EurasianTimes.com/Defenseless Against Hypersonic Missiles, US Navy Turns To ‘Faster & Lethal’ DEWs To Battle China, Russia – Top Admiral) Hypersonic missiles are hard targets but "easy to destroy". If the air-defense weapons can track and aim bullets or missiles against hypersonic missiles they can destroy them. But the problem is that counter-weapons must hit to target. And the low-flying hypersonic weapon will not let a long time for reacting.  Hypersonic weapons have the same thing as all other missiles and airplanes. That thing is that they are easy to destroy if the ammunition hits to target. There are developed weapon systems that can shoot over a million small-caliber ammunition against the target. The problem is that those CIWS systems (Close-in Weapon systems) are using lots of ammunition.  And the ship needs an ammo ship for refilling its ammunition storage quite often. There are also missile-based sy...

Above 1: The Vampire system Many people think that most armored vehicles are main battle tanks (MBTs) like M-1 Abrams and "Leopard". Most of the armored vehicles are not MBTs. They are cheaper and lighter vehicles like Russian BTR-60 and "Movag Piranha", is one of the armored and weaponized cars. The thing is that things like "Javelin" and heavier "Spike" missiles are making even jeeps dangerous to at least some MBTs until there is a new invention that protects the MBT against the incoming missiles.  Weapon development is the race between improved warheads and improved armor. If the MBT is modern it should do its mission. But if that tank is not modern and equipped with modern offensive and defensive systems it's a death trap. The thing in old-fashion technology is that is working. But if the opponents are using things like GPS-guided ammunition and recon drones with AI-based aiming and launching technologies the old-fashion systems with dumm...

Image 1) Chinese flying submarine concept.  The idea of the flying submarine is not new. There made more or less theoretical plans for creating a submarine that can slip near its target, attack it, and fly away. Sometimes those systems are planned to use the ground-effect technology. And that thing could make those aircraft-submarine combinations fly at a low level.   Above this text, you can see the Chinese model or artist's impression of that thing. The fact is that those drones are large-size. And they can carry also agents and special forces operators to the coastline. But those systems' main role might be to operate as the ship-killers. And against coastal targets. But there is the possibility that the Russian new nuclear-powered "Skyfall"-missiles might be planned to have similar abilities.  The ability to patrol silently under the ocean surface. Until they get orders to attack. And then suddenly go airborne and attack against inland targets.  https://en.w...

New genetic research uncovered that the depleted uranium ammunitions didn't cause the famous "Gulf war illness". The reason for those symptoms was in nerve agent sarin (1). Sarin or GB is one of the deadliest chemicals in the world. And it has a deadly effect, even if the person wears protective suits.   Organophosphates like VX, sarin, soman, and tabun cause death by skin contact. Also, even if the person has the counter-chemicals or antidotes to sarin like atropine, Biperiden, and pralidoxime. (2).  The chemical database says: "The lethal dose for man is estimated to be 0.01 mg/kg". (3). even if the dose is not deadly, can sarin cause permanent nerve damage. (4)  The sarin and other G-agents remain on the surface layers like weapons and other equipment. Those chemical weapons can cause ADHD-like symptoms.  So operators must remove nerve agents from the surfaces in the poisoned area very carefully because even a low dose of those chemicals can cause symptoms. T...

USS Zumwalt All three Zumwalt-class destroyers are getting new and powerful hypersonic missiles.  Those missiles have a speed of Mach 5+. And they have a very long range, says the article in the Eurasian Times. The installation of those new hypersonic missiles means that the advanced 155mm. gun turrets are removed and replaced by hypersonic missile tubes. The details about that modification are in the article below this text.  The world is waiting for new lightweight and portable super- and hypersonic systems. Military forces can install those hypersonic systems in vehicles like main battle tanks. Or they can even be man-portable.  The new hypersonic systems can shoot dummy or intelligent ammunition. And they are the most powerful systems in the world.  Hypersonic systems are not always missiles. They might be things like rail guns. And maybe the next stage in hypersonic weapons is the guided hypersonic ammunition for artillery. Railguns can accelerate artillery gren...

Even if spontaneously learning a computer or algorithm is hard to make it's possible, that in the central computer is the library of the computer codes made for different situations. The man-size robots have limited computer capacity. So for making databases and computer code lighter the robot can "forget" the unnecessary code.  That means the computer deletes the databases after they are used. And then the robot can load the new algorithms into its memory. The ability to change code in the computer makes algorithms less complicated. And robots are more flexible when they can change the components of their program.  There is an image, where the robot is using the computer. The technology where the programmer can program robots by sending the program code from the computer screens already exists. The system uses a camera or robot's eyes for reading programming code to the computer's memory. When artificial intelligence detects programming code it resends it to a pr...
