The China's new anti-ship weapon will put America's aircraft carriers in the danger.

DF-26

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The China build a new kind of anti-ship missile like DF-26, what have an extremely long range and the mobile launchers. Those anti-ship missiles targets are United States aircraft carrier units, what they will hit with the speed of Mach 12. Those weapons are terrifying because the extremely high speed and the truck-mounted launchers can make that weapon extremely deadly.

Those very fast flying missiles are very problematic for the defense of those battlegroups. Even if those missiles will locate before the hit, the aircraft have the problem to fly about 1000 nautical miles to the target, and if the missiles have been launched, the attack will be useless. I’m almost sure that those missiles can be targeted by remote control via internet, and the missile crew must only to drive their truck to the launching point and leave the truck after the missiles are fired.

The locating the target would happen with satellites or patrolling airplanes, and after the aircraft carrier is located, the launching parameters can be sent by the Internet in the second, and then the missile will rise up from its launcher. The problem with that missile is that it will need no nuclear warhead to destroy their targets, and actually, those missiles destroy their targets with kinetic energy. And that makes the defense very difficult. Those kinetic warheads diameter can be very small size, and that will make those missiles very dangerous.

Of course, the United States might convert some of their ballistic Minuteman III missiles for that kind of strike. The kinetic energy missile needs very sharp guidance system, that they can strike precise to their target. And the guidance system of that missile can be IIR (Imaging Infra Red) what is very sharp. That kind of guidance system bases the camera, what makes a picture of the target. Another picture what is taken of the target is stored in those missiles computers, and then the computer will check that those pictures are fully one on the other. That’s how the missile will strike straight to the target.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful. Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down. The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts. The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
