The next target: “Starlink”.



Intelligence warns: Russia plans to make an anti-satellite weapon that could destroy Starlink satellites. Starlink plays a vital role in Ukrainian defense. And it can also provide support for drone control applications. The Starlink system and modems are tools. That can make the long-range drone operations possible. Theoretically, jamming the drone control is quite an easy thing. But. The jammer system sends radio waves. That makes it a target for the anti-radiation missile systems. A large-sized kamikaze drone can carry those anti-radiation missiles, or a long-range drone. It is easy to transform. Into the anti-radiation missile or kamikaze drone. The system must only know the control signal frequency of the drone. 

Then the attacker shoots the anti-radiation missiles or drones before the main attack swarm. And when those jammers begin their transmission, the anti-radiation systems can attack them. Another way is to ionize air. That denies. Also, their own side radars. To see targets. That ion layer also denies radio-based communication in that area. 


But then, to the anti-satellite weapons. The GPS, radar, and communication satellites send radio waves. That makes them easy targets for the big anti-radiation missiles. 


Basically, those weapons are quite easy to develop. The missile can use the radio signals from the communication satellite to seek and home in on the target. The missile can be basically similar to a regular anti-radiation missile. But its booster might be far bigger and stronger. The booster system can be similarly used in RT-2PM2 Topol-M and RS-26 Yars missiles. The system can raise the homing system over the atmosphere. Then the homing system. That can be a higher maneuverable version of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal missile. Starts to track targeted satellites.  

Or the MiG-31 can raise that weapon to the edge of the atmosphere. If that ASAT missile is bigger. The Tu-22M “Backfire” can act as a launching platform.  Anti-satellite missiles. Ground and space-based laser systems are a logical continuum. For the military systems. When we think about those massive anti-radiation missiles. Those systems can make it possible. To attack ABM radars and other strategic defense systems. The satellite-killers that can destroy intelligence,  communication, and GPS satellites. 

Can change the game. In the military world. The mobile ICBM. It can turn into an anti-satellite platform. Very easily. The small neutron-bomb-based nuclear option can be installed in a satellite or sub-orbital satellite that flies in the ionosphere. When that killer satellite explodes, it makes the EMP pulse that destroys other satellites above it. The orbital killer satellite that uses an internal nuclear or conventional detonator is as easy to detonate as a car bomb. The detonation signal can come to other aircraft, a ground station, or a ship. 

That allows. To detonate that system in a desired position. The E-bomb or EMP bomb can also be installed in the ASAT weapons. There are two versions of the EMP-bomb. The conventional system. This uses explosive pressure to give a high-power electric load to the battery. Then that electricity will be transmitted into the microwave system. That sends it into the target. In the nuclear option, the nuclear explosive makes that EMP impulse. 

The benefit of the EMP weapons is that.  It leaves the targeted satellite. In one piece. The problem with kinetic energy ASAT systems, along with high-power laser beams, is that. They break the satellite into small pieces that occupy the trajectory. The high-power EMP system can basically. Be a radio system. That sends high-power, coherent radio waves into targeted satellites. This system destroys the satellite's main computers.

The quantum networks can also have vulnerabilities.



The thing that makes the quantum network so secure is this. Information that travels in that network is connected to physical particles. When the energy level at both ends of the quantum entanglement reaches the same level. The system must make the new superposition and quantum entanglement. Before that, the system must separate information from the quantum entanglement and store it. And that mass memory where the system stores information is the weak point. Also. Things like graphics cards that output information to the screen can be vulnerable to attack. In the same way. The attacker can focus the attack. On binary systems that control the quantum computer. 

The researchers say that every system has holes. So, if the system exists. It's possible to break. There is always a weak point in the system. In the best systems, the user is the weakest point. The weak point in quantum computing is that. Those quantum computers are used. Through binary computers. 

The attacker can focus the attack on the binary system that controls the quantum computer. The output route that prints the solution to the screen of a binary computer can be infected. Using a Trojan horse. This means the quantum system will not be breakable. But the binary computers. That handles input-output traffic. Are. Same way. 

Vulnerable as other binary computers. The vulnerable point in the system can be the graphics circuit, which controls screens. And things that the system outputs to the screens. 

That weak point can be the router; there is mass memory. That the system uses. When it creates a new quantum entanglement pair. When information travels in a quantum network, in most models. It travels in a chain of superpositioned and entangled particle pairs. The problem with quantum entanglement is this. 

The transmitting side of the quantum entanglement must be at a higher energy level than the receiving particles. When those particles reach the same energy level, that breaks quantum entanglement. So in the high-class quantum network, the system must re-adjust the quantum entanglement. Information always travels straight through quantum entanglement. The quantum network means the fullerene nanotube. That protects quantum entanglement when it transmits information. 

If there is a curve in the quantum entanglement. That requires that. The router receives the information that it gets. Then it creates another quantum entanglement. And re-transmits data. For that process. The system must store information before it makes the new quantum entanglement in the chain. This memory block can be the target for attackers. The idea is that the router should make the new quantum entanglement. And then resend that data. That is stored in it. 

The weak point of the quantum network is the point where the network re-adjusts quantum entanglement. The easiest way is to make a new superpositioned entanglement. But. For that process, the system must store the information that it transports. 



"Despite being continually kicked and strongly interacting, the atoms no longer absorb energy. The system localizes in momentum space, the momentum distribution literally freezes, a remarkable phenomenon termed many-body dynamical localization (MBDL). Credit: Universität Innsbruck." (ScitechDaily, Physicists Discover a Quantum System That Refuses To Heat Up)

The quantum system that will not heat. It is one of the things. That can make the new types of quantum networks possible. This system. It can make the longer-lasting quantum entanglements possible. The experiments show that the ultra-cold atoms do not always heat up as expected. This means. That is the quantum entanglements. Those who are targeted. Photons are trapped on those atoms. 

Can keep. a quantum entanglement. A very long time. The idea is that the ultra-cold atom transports energy out from the quantum entanglement’s receiving part. This means that stable quantum entanglement is theoretically possible. 

And then. We can think about the thing. Called the gravothermal collapse. That causes a situation where the hypothetical dark matter halo turns hotter when it releases energy. The reason for that is that the dark matter structure turns smaller. And because particles are closer to each other, that makes energy denser in that structure. At the same time, those hypothetical weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) send energy. 

This causes a situation where gravity pulls those particles closer. To each other. And the energy is released into a smaller area. So, in a gravothermal collapse. The same number of particles sends energy into a smaller and smaller area. And that warms the structure. 

It would be interesting to think about the possibility. Is it possible that there is a so-called electromagnetic or quantum-size version of the gravothermal collapse? In the model, there is a possibility. That is when the electrons fall to the atom’s nucleus in the Bose-Einstein condensate. They should behave as WIMPs interact in gravothermal collapse. This means when electrons release photons and energy. In the smaller-scale structures. That energy level or energy density rises. 

So, if researchers could control the distance of electrons. Between each other and the distance of electrons to the atom’s core. That can deny the heat effect in the smaller-scale atoms. Or it denies the energy density. Rise in the atoms when their electrons fall to the core. Rise of. The energy density means that a certain number of particles sends a certain number of energy quanta. Into a certain area.

A new arms race in hypersonic weapons is running hot.



Hypersonic weapons are a new and powerful tool.  Those missiles fly lower than regular missiles, but their speed is many times higher than that of regular cruise missiles. And it’s possible that the new hypersonic missiles use stealth technology. There are three versions of those missiles. The hypersonic missile travels at a speed up to Mach 6. The ramjet engine would be suitable for those missiles. The limit of that engine is about Mach 6. Faster systems require scramjet engines that can operate to Mach 20. 

The problem is that the scramjet engine requires a speed that is higher than Mach 5 to start. So, in those systems, a ramjet requires. About Mach 1 speed to start.  It can accelerate those scramjet-driven air-breathing systems into speeds at which the scramjet-driven system can start. 



"Kh-47M2 Kinzhal. 2018 Moscow Victory Day Parades" (Wikipedia,Kh-47M2 Kinzhal)


1) Hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). The glide vehicle is launched using regular ballistic missiles. Then those gliders can attack their targets using a smooth trajectory. 

2) Atmospheric missiles. Those missiles. Can use regular rocket engines, and they might be winged versions of the regular ICBM missiles. The shorter-range versions can be the air-launched versions of the ballistic missiles. Those missiles are already in service. And the most well-known of them. Are. Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal (NATO: AS-24 “Killjoy”) missiles. 


"The specific impulse of various engines" (Wikipedia, Scramjet)


"Ballistic vs. Hypersonic Missile Trajectories. Source: U.S. GAO" (Defensefeeds, How Do Hypersonic Missiles Work? Everything You Need to Know)

These are normally installed on MiG-31 “Foxhound” and Tu-22M “Backfire” aircraft. In some theorized models. The MiG-31 is the only plane that can accelerate the Kinzhal missile to hypersonic speed. Those Kinzhal missiles will be installed. On the nose of the ICBM missiles. Those missiles can carry atmospheric missiles in a lower trajectory than a normal ICBM. 

3) Hypersonic air-breathing cruise missiles. Those missiles use scramjet- or ramjet engines. While they travel in the atmosphere. Those missiles. Can use.  A solid fuel ramjet engine. That's solid fuel. Used in ramjet-driven ammunition. The ramjet or scramjet-driven cruise missiles can also use mothership planes to launch them from high altitude. Another version is to use an ICBM missile to transport the hypersonic cruise missile out of the atmosphere. Then that missile dives back. In the atmosphere. There, the ramjet, or scramjet engine, will start. 



“Is This China’s Truck-Mounted Electromagnetic Catapult? Having a scalable truck-based catapult concept for land-launched larger drone operations could open up new operational possibilities.” (Twz.com, Is This China’s Truck-Mounted Electromagnetic Catapult?)

The hypersonic missile can be mounted on board ships. It can be on the mobile firing unit. Or it can be launched from silos. The new technology allows the electromagnetic catapults to launch those missiles. The system can launch the ramjet-driven drone. That accelerates. A hypersonic system to speeds Mach 5-6, and then the scramjet engine in the high-speed missile can start. The Chinese military has introduced modular wagons, similar to those used in shipyards to transport ship sections. Those modular units can be used like domino bites, and they can be used to create a very long magnetic acceleration track. 

Those modular units can create portable launch systems for drones and hypersonic systems. If those modular truck-mounted electromagnetic catapults get energy from portable nuclear reactors. Those systems can be tools that can increase next-generation battlefield strike capacity to levels. That's never been before. Those systems can launch even aircraft. From places it's never been possible before, those mobile systems. The heavy transporters can be used theoretically to create even full-scale airfields on drylands.

New stealth can turn the Chinese 6th. stealth aircraft tools that challenge the U.S.'s best fighter.


"J-36 Fighter from X Screenshot. Image Credit: X Screenshot."(NationalSecurityJournal, China’s New Super J-36 ‘NGAD’ Stealth Fighters Are Coming)


Stealth is a proven effective tool for attack aircraft. Many attempts have been made to create systems that replace radars. Those systems are used. The optical- AI-boosted systems. Or quantum-size radar antennas. Also, things. UV-lidars and laser scanners can be used against stealth fighters. The IR sensor is ineffective against UV-laser scanners. Another thing that can uncover stealth aircraft. Are the micro-particles. The system uses the nanodust. That. The scanner systems observe to create undirected observations of the stealth systems. 

When a stealth aircraft travels through those particles. It moves them. And the observer can see that effect. Another thing is that the modern stealth systems. Those that are in use require special materials. Those materials include nano-scale structures. This means that even a small damage, like a pistol shot or even a stone that hits the surface before rising from the airfields, can destroy the stealth ability. The plasma stealth uses a plasma system. That creates a plasma layer around the aircraft. That plasma denies radar echoes. 

But it also denies the aircraft radar operations. The attack aircraft can use the terrain contour-matching system. To route it to the target. When we think. About the stealth and systems that try to detect it. Those systems. Use sensor fusion. Of multiple different types of scanners. 

The system that sends radiation is always problematic. If the attack, or counter-attack system knows the radio, or radiation frequency, it can send anti-radiation missiles against stealth systems. The other tools are EMP. Microwave and laser systems that can destroy or damage a stealth surface.  

The B-2 is an impressive tool. But. The problem is the age of that aircraft. Chinese new quantum radars that benefit from quantum entanglements can detect those stealth fighters. In some models. Those quantum radars can use the excitons. Or, helium, or deuterium atoms, there are two electrons orbiting the nucleus.  Those electron pairs form the quantum-size Doppler radar. This means that. Those electron pairs can act as signal transmitters. And that. Makes it possible to create quantum-sized radar using an atom or an exciton. 




Coatings have been a long-term issue for the B-2 until Northrop came up with new solution. (Representational image) (Interesting Engineering, B-2 bombers’ biggest opponent: Not enemy radar but rain used to erode plane’s stealthiness). Because B-2 must not get wet. Water destroys nano-scale structures on the stealth bomber's surface by filling the interstices between those structures. 

That ultimate stealth aircraft requires a hangar. The requirement for hangar limits those aircraft’s operations.Because B-2 must not get wet.

The stealth surfaces can turn incoming radio waves into radar. 


The new surface materials. Fixes one bad lack. In the stealth material. The biggest problem with B-2 bombers is this. The B-2 stealth bomber must not get wet. The stealth material. Means material that has miniature, or nano-scale structures. Like nano-pyramids or nano scratches that scatter reflecting radiation. Water fills those structures, and that breaks. The stealth structure. Things like plasma stealth can be more effective. In those systems, the plasma layer around the aircraft denies a radar echo. 

Chinese stealth aircraft's surface. It can turn incoming electromagnetic waves straight into electric power. That could revolutionize stealth technology. The ability to transform radar signals into electric power allows. To conduct that electricity into the battery. Or use it in microchips that control the active surface layer. If the layer can transform radio waves into electricity, and drive that electric power into a capacitor. 

That makes it possible to deny radar echo from that system. The system can also transport electricity. That it stores. Into the battery in the avionics, and especially into the electric or electric-assisted jet engines. In those systems, the combustion is replaced by using electric arcs, or, otherwise, electric arcs increase the temperature in the combustion chamber. Another way to use that electricity is an ion system. That creates an ion layer between the jet fighter and the intercepting radars. 

The new Chinese stealth fighters, or 6th-generation stealth fighters, are tools that can revolutionize the military world. The new Chengdu J-36 stealth fighters have improved AI. That AI-based system can transform them into drones. And this makes them effective attack systems. This means that those systems require human pilots only for air combat. Another test aircraft, Shenyang J-50, starts its flight tests.

Does the AI stifle human creativity?



Above: “Cyborg-Lisa” made by using Nano-Banana. 


Many of the superstars were superstars because they were the only ones. There were no options. We can find the answer to that question in history. The AI may not stifle human creativity. But it does make it easier to create high-quality images. If we want to compare AI with something, we should think about the music industry. In the 1960s and 1970s, when the Beatles and Elvis were something special. We must realize that the Beatles and Elvis were almost the only rock bands. And rock artists are sold in supermarkets. Because Elvis and the Beatles were the only ones, they were special. 

The Internet caused. A situation where there were more than just a couple of options. In the sector of the creative arts. The AI causes a situation. There are more. And more high-quality graphics and other arts on the net. This means that today, the Beatles and Elvis could be “just” artists. But what if somebody just cannot sing? What if someone will not publish the poem that someone wrote? 


Does that make the writer less creative? When we look back at the golden age of the Beatles and Elvis, we can ask one question: how many good bands died? Because. Their music just didn’t please people? Who selected the studio artists? And gave an opportunity to make a record of their music? In the 1960s and 1970s, record companies desired. What they wanted to offer. 

And then we can ask: What creativity is? What creativity require?. Does creativity mean the ability to make paintings like Leonardo da Vinci? Or does that mean that we make things spontaneously without orders? 

Or what if we just stand behind the painter’s back and give orders on what that product must look like? Or, are we less creative if we don’t have time or opportunity to practice painting, and that’s why we cannot make paintings? We can always ask: what happens if Leonardo da Vinci had a painting program? Or what Leonardo can use with the AI? AI is a tool. That allows people to create many things. That took hours and years before the AI.

Chinese merchant ships with container missile systems worry people.


"If China is indeed preparing to use commercial ships as potential military platforms, the implications extend beyond naval strategy."(Interesting Engineering, China converts cargo vessels into military ships, containers to be missile launchers: Report)

The armed cargo ships or merchant cruisers are meant. For merchant warfare. Their purpose is to capture freighters and act as a trap for pirates and hostile merchant cruisers.  In some sources,  armed cargo ships. Or merchant cruisers are mentioned as ineffective against normal warships. The case H.M.S Jervis Bay vs. a German pocket battleship. Admiral Scheer lasted half an hour, and then the merchant cruiser Jervis Bay sank. Another case where a merchant cruiser faced two battlecruisers was the case. 

When H.M.S Rawalpindi faced two German battle cruisers. Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, the Rawpindi faced its fate almost immediately. Those cases were demonstrations. Merchant cruisers cannot resist the normal surface combatants. But merchant cruisers are not meant. To fight against large battleships or battlecruisers. 




"Another angle of the ship. (Chinese internet)" (TWZ, Chinese Cargo Ship Packed Full Of Modular Missile Launchers Emerges)


The purpose of merchant cruisers was to go on a merchant war. Their mission was to stop and sink other merchant ships. But as we know. The merchant cruisers also played. Some kind of role in the German Kriegsmarine. The German merchant cruisers forced the Allies to use heavier escort ships over longer distances. That meant those ships were. Out of escort and patrol duties in the North Sea. And that could mean something at the beginning of the war in 1939. The fact is that. 

Merchant cruisers can be deadly if they sneak close to other ships and launch torpedoes. The introduction. About this kind of case. Was. The case when the German auxiliary, or merchant cruiser Kormoran (HSK-8), faced the Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney (D43). Sydney sank Kormoran, but Kormoran had time to launch torpedoes, one or more hit, and they sank that heavy cruiser. This is one. Way to see things. That a merchant cruiser can do. But those WWII merchant cruisers are not what they are today. 

During WWII. Was fear. The Germans would deploy radio-controlled V-1 flying bombs into their ships. And that weapon could be. At least to attempt to use them against Allied ships and cities. 




"A closer look at the radar and CIWS installation on the vessel. (Chinese internet)" (TWZ, Chinese Cargo Ship Packed Full Of Modular Missile Launchers Emerges)








Modern merchant cruisers or container ships can be equipped with hypersonic missiles and drones. 


When we think about those ships and their weapons, we must remember one thing. During WWII. There were no container cruise missiles. Those merchant cruisers. Was. Not equipped with “Kalibr”-type hypersonic missiles. The hypersonic container-missile system can be dangerous. To any target. The nuclear warheads make those missiles the deadliest weapons on Earth. Another thing is that. Those merchant cruisers can make surprise attacks against selected targets. 

Weapon systems like Club-K can make the merchant ship capable. To attack far from the coast. Another thing is that. Those hypersonic weapons can. Threaten aircraft carriers. The hypersonic weapon. Is. Easy to drive on the deck and launch from a variable platform. The container ship can carry or launch those systems. And in the worst cases, those weapons can be deployed even into the U.S. or some other country's territory. 

Another problem is drones. A drone can carry things like drugs and guns to customers. Small-sized kamikaze drones can be launched from the decks of any ships. Drones don’t need any special equipment for launching. Those systems can operate straight from their boxes. And that makes those systems deadly. The suicide drone can also be equipped with a laser pointer, which points targets to the laser-homing missiles or drones. This means that the system is very hard to jam. Things like lightweight kamikaze drones can also operate as surveillance tools, and point targets to other bigger drones.

The pseudoscience and accumulation of information.



"System Hacked Warning Message Laptop Computer. A new Northwestern University study suggests scientific fraud is no longer limited to isolated cases, but increasingly driven by coordinated global networks that manipulate publishing systems. Using large-scale data analysis, researchers uncovered paper mills, brokers, and compromised journals working together to manufacture credibility at scale. Credit: Shutterstock" (ScitechDaily, Fake Science Is Growing Faster Than Legitimate Research, New Study Warns)

Who is the president? The person. Who the media tells to be president. So, theoretically. It is possible that the media simply lies that some person is president, even if that person ever gotten a single vote. 

Pseudoscience grows faster than legitimate information. Technically, the reason for that. Is this: creators of pseudoscience must not follow sources or results of research. They can create sources and research results from their head. And. This makes it hard to fight against those people. Another big problem is that. Pseudoscience is sold to people in a marketable form. And the main target for marketing is far-wing loud radicals. Those people might troll researchers who dare to disagree with them. The main argument is always this: people must not read anything other than. That they accept. The pseudoscience sometimes has political purposes. 

The “autocracy inc” mean. The dictatorship or autocracy. That has no political ideology. The only known ideology of those autocracies. It is the money. Modern dictators rule their countries. Like firms. Those people form networks. And they share tips on how to collect even more money from their people. They also want to buy Western stocks. That guarantees their power to the Western world, and is one of the things that those people want. It is Western weapons. And of course. Things like AI tools. Those applications. That they can use to control people. Are. Wanted applications. But those dictators want to control information. They want to affect things. That. The media tells about their country and themselves. If the Western audience doesn’t like some country. That can be seen in the popularity of the government. 

Those autocracies may also want to buy stocks. From Western media houses. That allows them to get information about people who have. Said things. Those dictators don’t want people to know. Another thing is the route to the Western media. And the ability to control things. That private news outlets tell. 

Another way to sell pseudoscience is simply say things that leaders want hear. Another thing is that pseudoscience is connected with the accumulation of information. Even if we think that social media is free, there are always people who own those media platforms. And there are always orders. What is accepted, and what is not accepted, on those platforms? When we talk. About the accumulation. Theoretically, it is possible. That. If the person has enough money. That person can buy a majority shareholding in all commercial media houses. This gives that person ultimate power over information. 

Of information sharing platforms. And news agencies into the same hands. We talk about. Cases where media houses' stock ownerships. Accumulate in the same hands. The fact is that we must not change laws, and we must not impose governmental censorship if we want to deny certain information delivery. We must just buy media houses. And then we must just give orders. About suitable information for those media platforms. 

Reporters and journalists are in an employment relationship with their employer, which is a media house. This means that. If the owner. Doesn’t like the journalist’s articles, they might not publish them. The social media moderator. Can always remove texts and images from their platforms. They might classify those images and text as simply harmful for youngsters. This means that. If we need censorship. We must only buy stocks of a media house. And we must only fire journalists whom we don’t like. Another thing that can cause fear. Legal actions. Against journalists. Who tells things that some people don’t wish to tell. Taking journalists to court and requesting high compensation closes some mouths.

Steering light. In nanoscale. Turns imagination into reality.



"Illustration of nanolight pseudo-birefringence. Two-step excitation via a light-illuminated antenna and a sharp boundary efficiently excites higher-order light-matter waves (hyperbolic phonon polaritons) in a thin crystal layer on gold. Upon passing a precisely angled gold edge, the antenna-excited fundamental mode separates into different polariton orders propagating in distinct directions, creating a strong pseudo-birefringence effect that opens a new pathway for on-chip optical signal routing. Credit: Na Chen, Hanchao Teng, and Hai Hu." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Learn To Steer Light at the Nanoscale, Setting New Records)

"Researchers have introduced an innovative two-step excitation approach that makes it possible to efficiently generate and clearly separate different modes of hyperbolic polaritons."(ScitechDaily, Scientists Learn To Steer Light at the Nanoscale, Setting New Records)

"An international collaboration of scientists has introduced a new approach for generating and manipulating extremely confined light–matter waves called higher-order hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs). Using this method, the researchers achieved record levels of wave quality and travel distance. The technique also takes advantage of a sharply defined boundary to produce an effect known as pseudo-birefringence, allowing the waves to be separated and directed based on their mode." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Learn To Steer Light at the Nanoscale, Setting New Records)

The ability to steer light in the desired direction. Makes it possible. To create virtual photonic transistors and other virtual components. In that system, the three photonic lines, or quantum roll lines, can form a base, a collector, and an emitter. The light beam that closes the route of other light beams can act as a virtual router. And light that decays, another light wave can act as a virtual router. Those things are required on the nano-scale photonic processors. 

Light is one form of electromagnetic radiation. And the same technology that can turn light can turn other electromagnetic wavelengths. Basically, nano- and quantum rolls can drive every type of wave movement into any direction that the system desires. These types of systems are tools that can make many things that were impossible before a reality. The nano- and quantum rolls can make electromagnetic radiation slide over the shell. 

Researchers learn to steer. Light on a nanoscale. And that opens new visions to information and stealth technology. The new systems that can route light on nanoscale structures can make it possible to create new types of microchips. And another thing that. This technology can aim the light. Into the desired direction. This means that if the system can aim the light. Into the desired direction, which denies radiation reflection to the opposite direction. 

The ability to aim the light in the direction of the surface, which means an observer who doesn’t stand in the direction of the light cannot see the object. These types of systems can be the ultimate stealth systems. The quantum rolls that aim photons can make things like laser shields possible. Those things can transfer energy. Into the desired direction. The laser system requires a certain time to transfer energy to the object. 

So that it can burn a hole in it. The photonic system can spread the laser ray over the layer. And that denies energy transfer to the structure. Another thing is this. The photonic rolls can drive wave movement into desired directions. That makes it possible to create protection against radiation and particles. The nano-roll can make those things slide over the shell. This means those rolls. Can deny those things to touch the shell of the system. 

And that helps to keep information in its form. The laying photon can transport information on the layer. The new photonic microchips require that ability. In the same way. Things like quantum light networks. Can use laying photons to transmit information in the system. The photon, or its curves, pushes wave movement into the tunnel. That connects two points in the quantum network.

The concept of a space station. That uses rotational movement to create artificial gravity is not new.


"Representational image: The rotating design structure would provide constant gravity-like environment to the astronauts." (InterestingEngineering, Russia plans rotating space station with artificial gravity to protect astronaut health)

The concept of a space station with artificial gravity, where rotation creates the necessary movement, is not new. Famous German engineer Wernher von Braun innovated the idea of the wheel-shaped space station in the 1950s and 1960s. The wheel-shaped station would orbit Earth at high or medium altitude. The rotational movement forms. Artificial gravity. And for that, the station benefits from the rotational movement. 

The rotational movement causes a centripetal force that keeps things on tables. Somebody. Sometimes says. This concept will not work because the rotational movement must be so fast that it can create artificial gravity that matches Earth's gravity. The fact is that. The rotational movement must create only such a strong gravity that it can turn from roof to roof and floor to floor. 

In zero gravity conditions, there is no roof or floor. The artificial gravity, even if it's weak, can anchor things on the table. Things like magnetic rings can pull those space station parts together. This means they can resist centripetal force better than without magnets. 

There are plans. To make large-sized space stations in a stationary trajectory. Those stations would support orbital operations. Like repairments of civil and military satellites. There is also a possibility. High-orbiting satellites can shoot capsules. That pushes other satellites from their trajectory. To the atmosphere. 

This helps to clean orbitals from space junk. And those systems can also act as ASAT platforms. In some models, the space stations can have a plasma system that shoots a plasma beam. Sometimes, iron dust is introduced for that purpose. The system can shoot iron dust using a magnetic cannon. And then that dust pushes the targeted satellite. To the atmosphere. 

To the space junk or a functional satellite and pushes it off the trajectory. The same system that can push space junk. Into the atmosphere. Can push functional satellites. To the atmosphere. 

Space stations can have 3D printing systems that can create parts for satellite structures. This means that large-sized space stations are multi-use platforms. They can support the large-sized atom rocket assembly in the Earth or Lunar orbiter. The lunar orbiter is the better solution. Because in the case of accidents. The nuclear material. Drops to the Moon.

Stagflation as a problem for the Russian economy.



One of the biggest problems. For the Russian economy. Are economic sanctions. The economic sanctions determine products that Russia is not allowed to buy. There is always a possibility that countries like China export high-tech products to Russia. But. Russia must get money.

From somewhere so that it can use it to buy those products. Iran, China, and North Korea are so-called grey areas in the sanctions. There is a possibility that Russia uses Chinese and North Korean agents to buy things like drones. Or the merchandise. Like oil and gas. Will be shipped to India. Which resells those products and buys electronics. To the Russian military. 

The thing is that the grey areas have a big mean. In world economics and intelligence. There are governments that have good trade relationships with the Western world. And with China and North Korea. The Chinese and North Korean governments can establish import and export companies in those “grey countries”. There might be some autocracies that want support from countries like North Korea. North Korea can offer military technology like missiles to its allies. 

They can establish company chains to support their intelligence operations. Those companies can be used for money transfer and industrial espionage. That espionage can have a focus. In high-tech warfare and artificial intelligence. 


"Stagflation is the combination of high inflation, stagnant economic growth, and elevated unemployment. The term stagflation, a portmanteau of "stagnation" and "inflation", was popularized, and probably coined, by British politician Iain Macleod in the 1960s, during a period of economic distress in the United Kingdom." (Wikipedia, Stagflation)



Russian economic problems. And the threat of stagflation. 


The Western world considers the Russian economic situation. There is a possibility that the Russian society will collapse. The chaos in society forms. When the economy collapses. When there is no food or anything. People start to rebel. The major problem in Russian society is this. All demonstrations. 

That doesn’t please the Kremlin. Are repressed. The very tight and rough police command collects pressure in society. And somehow, someday it will erupt. That means violence against the Russian elite. 

If the Russian economy collapses. That can cause chaos. The fact is that the chaos can cause a situation in which the Russian nuclear weapons will be launched to sell to people who offer the biggest money. 

The nuclear weapons are things that keep the Kremlin in command. And. The fact is that the successor of Putin might not change anything. Or, it's possible that after Putin’s era there will be even civil war in Russia. Or, the end of Putin’s era. Causes a bloody power struggle. 

“Stagflation” means a situation. Where unemployment is high, and inflation is high. and economic growth is slow. The ruble’s value to the dollar. It has grown 45%. That is the reason for the tight economic policy. This means the outside value of the Ruble grows, but its internal value or inflation decreases. That causes a very interesting situation. 

When we think about this situation. That causes the effect. That the people sell Rubles away. Or they would sell, if that is possible. The growing outside value. For currency means that if people sell their money. Or change it to other currencies, they will make very high profits. But that can decrease the value of the currency. When the currency. Or its value turns higher. Which means the businessmen, or foreign traders. Get less money. 

Lack of free information. And the lack of neutral sources. Has a negative effect on the Russian economy. Another thing is that. The hardcore police command.  Without a possibility to complain, police actions cause fear. What if the police confiscate merchandise or investments? Or what if the police turn violent against investors? The laws that allow arbitrariness are things that limit investments. And especially foreigners travel and work in that country. And economic sanctions are things. That limits the ability and willingness to invest in that country. 

The ideal situation would be a strong or stable internal value and a lower outer value. That would be good for exporters. The idea is that. If they get their raw materials. With a lower price that maximizes their profits. The importers will benefit in the situation. Where the outer value of currency is high. And. The internal value of currency is low. Another problem with the Russian economy is that the country has no free information channel. 

The Central Bank of the Russian Federation must follow the orders of the Federal Security Bureau (FSB). And that means it's hard to get. Real or confirmed numbers for the Russian economy. Another thing is that the value of the Ruble is determined by the central bank. And this means. Information about the Russian economic situation is not free. Or it's hard to confirm from neutral sources. 

Another thing is the Ukrainian war. Many men are in that war. And that means there might be many unemployed people who are actually at war. So, that means that. Does Russia consider servicemen who are in Ukraine as “outsiders of labor markets” or “are they unemployed”? Today. The Russian economy is tied. To military products. All those products are needed in Ukraine. And there are only a few products that Russia can export to other countries. Those products are oil and gas. Economic sanctions limit trade with Russia. Another thing is the public opinion. Public opinion can cause boycotts if companies cooperate with Russia.

AI will take on an increasingly important role in our lives.



AI turns scientific work more accurate. It is transforming our lives fundamentally, and that has both good and bad effects. The AI is a tool that can handle and observe trillions of variables simultaneously. This is the thing that any human can do. The morphing neural network can connect data from millions, or even trillions of computers or data points. And it makes R&D work more effective. It raises accuracy to a new level. But there is one shadow in that advancement. 

When we think of the point of industrial coding. The AI deletes junior-grade jobs from companies. That means the basic coding will be made by using AI. In business life, effectiveness is the rule. The AI can generate. Thousands of code lines. In minutes. This means that the AI removes the basic-level coders from the companies. 

The focus in companies is on effectiveness. Their focus is not to give training. For new basic-level coders. And that means. The companies think. That AI is a tool. That removes beginners from the companies. The beginner is always a problematic person. There is always a possibility that they steal code. And this is the reason why. 

The first-timers find it hard. To get jobs from the ICT sector. The AI makes coding easier. And. Its. More effective tool. Than humans. The main thing is that. AI doesn’t make simple mistakes. It puts. Dots and brackets in the right places. So, the simple mistakes the AI can fix. 

But that means we are turning. More and more dependent. Of AI. When all code bases are made. By using the AI. That means there are no junior-grade places. The junior-grade coding jobs were important. To train experienced coders for the company. Experts are not born without the ability to get training. And if there is no junior-level work, the person cannot advance to senior- or expert level. 

The AI agent. That makes custom programs for people. Are. Cheaper than humans. The major problem is that the lack of training places means that we need to use more AI. And that causes a spiral effect. When AI agents turn more and more advanced, they can make more and more complex missions. That removes the need. To use human coders. At higher levels. 

The AI agent is a complex tool. That means the hackers will start to use AI agents in their operations. The hacker who. Works for the government. Can have access to complex language models. They have access to use AI as a hacking tool. But it's possible that high-skill hackers can cheat to make their own. Evil AI to them. There are three ways to make that thing. 

They can steal the source code of the large language model (LLM). Or. They can use many AI services. To create the code. that they need. And then they must just connect those codes together. Or they can buy that code from China. Or North-Korea. Or somebody. Like, cocaine cartels can buy that code. To hackers, who work for them. This is one way to think about the AI. The AI is a hacking tool that requires new and more effective counteractions. The robotics connect AI to physical systems. And that means the AI must have new, re-estimated security standards.

Solar-powered aircraft can act as “pseudo satellites” or atmospheric satellites.





Early artist impression of the High Altitude Platform (HAP). (ResearchGate.Net)


Theoretically, solar-powered aircraft can have unlimited operational time. Those aircraft can reach very high altitudes. The solar-powered aircraft can operate far higher than regular aircraft, which use combustion engines. The air-independent propulsion systems allow the aircraft to fly in a very thin atmosphere. The 73-hour autonomous flight shows the capacity. Of those aircraft. 

Actually, there are two types of solar-powered pseudo-satellites. The heavier-than-air systems. And lighter-than-air systems. The high-flying airships can operate almost at the edge of space. Mylar was first used in space systems in Echo 1 and 2 satellites, which were mylar balloons. In some ideas, the mylar balloon. That is filled with hydrogen. It can raise the sensor gondola to the edge of space. That sensor gondola can be a miniature satellite.  That can conduct ionosphere research. 

High-flying autonomous airships can use hydrogen as a hovering material. That decreases costs. The mylar structure allows them to fly higher than anything before. In military versions, the plasma system can pull plasma over the airship. That makes them invisible to radars. The high-flying pseudo-satellites can use ultraviolet laser scanners. That can threaten stealth fighters. And in the military applications. The laser weapons can defend them against the high-altitude anti-aircraft systems. Most of those High-Altitude Sensor, HAPS-projects or pseudo-satellites are unarmed. 

But it's possible that those systems can also drop weapons, or they can support weapon systems. The HAPS can use laser scanners. Radars and laser microphones are used for surveillance operations. Those systems can also drop different types of drones in an area. 

Pseudo-satellites can change many things. In the world. They can act as surveillance platforms, but as we know. Those large-scale solar-power aircraft. Can. Also, act in the same missions with satellites. Ion technology is one. Of the solutions. That can make those systems even more capable. It can make. Those aircraft fly even higher than they do today. And Ion Stealth can make them invisible. 



“Solar Impulse will have an ultra-light structure and a wingspan of 80 metres, nearly the same size as the new Airbus 380” (ESA)

In the first case, the ion system drives ionized gas faster on the upper side of the electric aircraft wings. That raises the low pressure on the upper side of the wing. And the same ions. They can also bind radar signals that impact the aircraft body. 

The pseudo-satellite can carry drones that it can drop to operational areas. Those drones can search. For things like missing persons. They can operate in remote areas. They can make surveillance missions. Or even in attack mode. The drone can be equipped with microphones and laser systems. That makes it a very sophisticated surveillance system. Those systems can be in the solar-powered mothership drones and quadcopters. The mothership drops into the area. 





Stratobus high altitude airship (HAA) (Wikipedia)


A pseudo-satellite can also be used to launch small satellites into orbit. The solar-powered aircraft can also use its solar panels. To create hydrogen and oxygen in its fuel tanks. The system can use electrolysis to break water molecules. The system needs only water, which it can collect from the air using the new membrane that harvests water from the air. The system can create hydrogen and oxygen for fuel cells. The system can be used. Solar panels in the daytime and fuel cells at night. 

Because those systems use electric engines and propellers, they leave a very low thermal signature. If those systems are made using stealth materials, they can be very hard to detect. Solar-powered pseudo- or atmospheric satellites can provide communication assistance to remote areas. Those aircraft or airships can be equipped with radars, infrared sensors, and optical systems. In some visions, those systems can fly over the battlefield. And it can point targets for laser-homing missiles.

The pseudo-satellite can also carry things. Like radar-homing missiles. The high-flying low-enduring system can also operate as a platform for ASAT systems. The anti-satellite missiles can be installed under those platforms. And they can destroy low-flying satellites.

Dead man's hand denies air strikes to Russia.


There is a tale in the Interesting Engineering that the U.S and its allies can destroy all Russian nuclear sites in less than two hours. The problem is that two hours is too long a time, and the Russian command system has time to launch missiles. The thing. The Western military commanders are afraid. Called: “Perimeter”. The dead hand trigger. If the Russian nuclear strike capacity turns too low, the dead man's hand can open fire with ICBM missiles. 

Also, if the commanders of that monstrous force are to be declared dead. The “Perimeter” starts the launching procedure. Two hours is too late to deny that operation. The problem is that the ICBM missiles can also be mounted on trains or on road-based launching systems. Those systems can be very hard to find. Things like missile submarines can make the launching operations. 

In addition to the USA, the Russian missile command comprises three or four parts. 


1) The ground-based tactical missiles. Those missiles. Like. Kalibr (CLUB-K) and the Iskander are highly mobile battlefield systems. 


2) Tactical and strategic bombers that can launch air-to-surface missiles and drop more or less free-fall bombs. 

3) Nuclear submarines and conventional submarines with nuclear strike capacity. Those submarines can launch nuclear cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. 

4) Silo-based and highly mobile intercontinental ballistic missile systems. Those systems. Like R-36M2 (SS-18), RS-28 (Sarmat), and RS-24 Yars(SS-27 mod 2 or SS-29). The last one is the mobile system that can be driven out. From bases very fast. Yars system replaced the RT-2P (Topol, and Topol M (”M for mobile”)) missiles. 

The remarkable thing about the Russian missiles is this. Those missiles are equipped with much more powerful warheads than Western missiles. And another thing is that. Russia's defense leans more toward nuclear weapons than Western defense. And the conventional troops' failures in the Ukraine war are growing nuclear weapon value for Kremlin leaders. 




Artist’s impression. Tu-95 launches Kh-55 missile (Wikipedia) 


The RT-2PM missiles are now mentioned as retired. But. The Russian inventory is not similar. To the Western. And it's possible that some of those missiles are still somewhere. The fact is that the new nuclear-powered “Skyfall” missiles are also coming to the arsenal. 

It’s possible that RS-28 Sarmat, which has some kind of technical problems, is “only” SS-18 with a new hypersonic “Avangard” glide warhead. The RS-28 “Sarmat” carries 16 warheads. Or in a lower payload, those systems can operate as FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems). 



Sarmat missile. 

The problem with Russian air-launched missiles is that their carrier vehicles, Tu-95 (Bear-H), Tu-22M (Backfire), and Tu-160 (Blackjack), are quite old systems. The Su-34, Su-35 (Improved Flanker), and MiG-31 (Foxhound) can also carry those missiles. The same aircraft can also carry hypersonic Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” missile, and especially its nuclear strike variant. The problem is that those aircraft have limited operational time. The MiG-31 is the only one of those aircraft that can accelerate the Kinzhal missile to hypersonic speed. Normally, those missiles. Operational launching platforms are Tu-22M3M and MiG-31. 

The Tu-160 can carry nuclear-powered 9M730 Burevestnik  (SSC-X-9 “Skyfall”) missiles. The nuclear reactor makes it problematic to defend against those missiles. If the reactor damages those systems. Can deliver radioactive material all around the area. And the “Skyfall” missiles can probably be installed on board the Oscar and Kilo-class. And more modern submarines. Like Akula and Yasen-class boats.  The Sarmat missile has faced problems, but nuclear-powered cruise missile tests have succeeded. And the Yasen-class submarine is in the U.S. backyard with Mach 9 hypersonic missiles. 

"Nuclear engine-powered unlimited range Burevestnik missile illustration The Burevestnik missile is launched by a conventional rocket motor while the nuclear reactor powered engine takes over in flight providing it unlimited range and loitering ability." (DefenseMirror.com)



The problematic system is also a long-range “Poseidon” torpedo. A 50-100mt nuclear warhead makes those nuclear-powered underwater weapons very devastating. They can form a tsunami that causes very bad destruction. It’s possible that the Poseidon underwater unmanned vehicle (UUV) patrols the oceans.  And if it loses its contact with the base, it starts to make an attack. 

The older, Cold War-era Kh-55  (AS-15 “Kent”)  cruise missiles are similar to the retired Boeing AGM-86. The AS-15 is partially replaced by the Kh-101 (AS-23 “Kodiak”) nuclear cruise missile. The Kh-102 is a nuclear warhead, a long-range variant of the Kh-101 missile. All other than Kh-102 were used in the Ukraine war. 

The Russian nuclear strategy. Based on the political control. Possibility to use. Nuclear weapons require that those weapons exist. 

Every time a nuclear submarine or nuclear bomber is out from base, it’s possible that those pilots talk about something that they should not talk about.  Another thing is that Kremlin leaders know the value of nuclear weapons. They know that nuclear power denies the outside military operations in Russia.

Electric sparks on Mars can endanger. Space missions.

 


"Detection of electric discharges in dust devils by the SuperCam instrument, on board the Perseverance rover on Mars. Credit: Nicolas Sarter"(ScitechDaily, Scientists Have Detected Electric Sparks on Mars, and It Could Rewrite What We Know About Its Atmosphere)

"Electrical sparks inside Martian dust devils have been detected for the first time, reshaping how scientists understand the planet’s atmosphere and climate." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Have Detected Electric Sparks on Mars, and It Could Rewrite What We Know About Its Atmosphere)

On Mars, strong winds routinely generate swirling columns of fine dust. While passing through the center of two such dust devils, the SuperCam instrument’s microphone, the first microphone ever deployed on Mars, unexpectedly picked up unusually intense signals." (ScitechDaily, Scientists Have Detected Electric Sparks on Mars, and It Could Rewrite What We Know About Its Atmosphere)

The electricity on the Red Planet can destroy electronics. And endanger even manned missions. 

The electric sparks in sand devils could explain some mysteries about missing Mars landers. Sand devils are tornadoes of dust that have very small sand particles. Those particles cause friction while they whirl, and that forms electric sparks. That electric spark can form in a magnetic field when iron-rich particles start to whirl in an electromagnetic field. Or those particles must have some kind of electric load. Maybe the electricity. Form in clouds. 

Maybe. Some of those minerals have similar abilities to crystals or perovskite. This means that sunlight or mechanical stress can form those electric sparks. 

Static electricity forms in cases where electrons start to form holes. There is also a possibility. The clouds of Mars have some kind of electromagnetic phenomenon. Those clouds are mainly ice. And airflows can create lots of static electricity in those clouds. If a sand devil moves below those clouds. That sand tornado can offer. An eruption channel. To electricity that forms in clouds. That dust transports electricity to the ground. 

And electricity starts to move. There is possibility. The electric sparks in the sand devil and the magnetic field that the sand tornado forms could affect some spacecraft communication antennas. This means there is a theoretical possibility.  That. The magnetic field cuts communication between the probe and Earth. Or maybe. 

The magnetic field and electric sparks can cause overload to electrical circuits. If the space probe. Will go in the sand devil. It's possible that those electromagnetic fields can break the probe’s computers. Or those electric sand devils can conduct electricity to Mars’s clouds. And those electrically loaded clouds can cause a false echo that the probe translates as the probe being higher than it is. And that means it opens the parachute too late.

University of Tampere’s Evil-AI-project researches the dark side of AI.



University of Tampere’s Evil-AI-project researches the dark side of AI. 


AI and robots are dual-use tools. 


Evill-Ai-Project researches issues like the misuse of AI. Where there are computer systems. There are always vulnerable systems. Even the best systems are somehow vulnerable. And the thing that can cause a collapse in data security. It is one paper that the professor forgot on the wrong table. The hacker can see screens from outside. And the opportunity makes thieves. The AI is coming to homes, and the regular merchandise can turn against us. Wireless headphones and a loudspeaker-microphone combination can be used as eavesdropping tools. 

The intelligent TVs and smartphones can collect information that makes us vulnerable. And the robot vacuum cleaners can observe us. Those things are really bad. Researchers. Highjacked a vacuum cleaner and made it ask for credit card numbers. Another test was that. The researchers used an AI algorithm on a robot vacuum cleaner to hunt a cat. The fact is that this kind of malware in robot cars can turn lethal. The same robot that transports food to humans can transport explosives. 



The Soviet, India-class submarine with two midget submarines. Those systems can carry even nuclear detonators internally or externally. In the last case, the flat nuclear device can be on the shelf, and a robot hand can put it. In the right position. Then, sonar or some other system sends the detonation signal to that system. The same AI. Used for food delivery, robots can be used in those midget submarines. 

Or the land drone can carry machine guns and anti-tank missiles. This kind of system can also drive on the seafloor. They could be used as reconnaissance or attack tools. Sometimes it is suspected that those underwater tanks, operated by SPETSNAZ, left nuclear detonators on the seafloor. The remotely operated nuclear mine, with 1-15 kt. could cause very bad damage in harbours where it detonated. The nuclear device might look. like an anti-tank mine. 

The idea is similar to systems that we can call “underwater tanks”. Those systems are submarines, equipped with caterpillar tracks. This type of miniature submarine can have a ball-shaped instrumental pack. Which. Allows it operate very deeply. They can also transport nuclear explosives. 

Another thing is that the robot vacuum cleaner can transport even landmines under vehicles. And this means. The AI system is easier to misuse than thought. If we think about the possibility. To create the attack tools. By using. The AI, the same algorithm that allows the AI to hunt cats around the house, makes it possible to use similar algorithms to control the flying quadcopters and other kamikaze drones. This makes those systems dual-use.
