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.

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper?  The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown.  But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with th

Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.

  Mythic Planet X is an interesting thing because that allows the way to the perfect stealth technology.  Could a hypothetical Planet X tunnel all radiation?  The myth of Planet X still lives. Nobody ever saw that planet, and the thing that supports the theory of previously unknown large-size planets in Kuiper's belt are mysterious anomalies in Neptune's trajectory. The thing is that nothing else supports the theory of the existence of the "invisible planet". The size of the planet must be very big. And its gravitational field strong that it can affect Neptune's trajectory.  And the search for that mysterious planet is very long work. In some visions, the mysterious gravitational source is mentioned as the small black hole, but nobody understands why that black hole doesn't seem to interact.  In some other theories, Planet X is a glimpse of dark matter. And that thing makes it invisible. But there is one weakness. The dark matter object must have some kind of

Nanoparticles are excellent tools for medicine transporters.

"Researchers have developed a new therapy for pancreatic cancer involving nanoparticles that stimulate immune responses and improve drug delivery. This innovative method has led to significant tumor reduction in mice and holds potential for treating other cancers. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, New Nanoparticle Cancer Treatment Successfully Shrinks and Eliminates Pancreatic Tumors) Nanoparticles can carry medicines into wanted cells. The idea is that the same system that feeds those cells transports those nanoparticles into cells that need medicine. When a nanoparticle goes, into a cell, it releases the chemicals into the targeted cells. Because nanoparticles don't let medical molecules interact with a body that makes it possible to create new and more powerful cytostatics. Nanoparticles can transport things like ricin molecules into wanted cells.  Ricin is one of the most poisonous chemicals. That chemical is useful for next-generation cytostatics, if researche
