There is one thing, what people don't realize when they are talking about the limitation of weapon systems. No army will ever decrease it firepower or fighting capacity. Do you know why gas weapons are prohibited? They have no effect against military men, and the second thing is that gas doesn’t make outer damages and that’s why enemy might play death until own troops are passed their lines, and after that shoot the attacker back.


Then there might be lots of casualties of that attack, where is used gas. Do you know why dumdum bullets are prohibited? They are useless against body armor. And flamethrowers are prohibited because they risk the life of the user of that weapon. If the military person uses flamethrower, he must carry the fuel on his back. And if enemy opens fire, that person will offer the higher target for the shooter, who might shoot the fuel tank of that weapon. But now there are people who want to deny killer robots.


The problem of that action is that those weapons already exist. And the attempts to deny those weapon systems are doomed, because those people will stamp as Russian agents, and those weapon system supporters will say that this media attention is a result for thing, that Russia has got no technology or know how-how this kind of machines must be built, as they why those people want to deny them. The problem with the killer robots is that they are conventional weapon systems.


Those terminators coordinate as the machine gun users, and there is one great problem with those robots. The killer robots minimize human victims in the own troops when they are going to the operational zone. And this is the reason, why those machines can make the wars too easy way to handle diplomatic disputes. And the war is of course very bad catastrophe for the area, where it happens.


They save lives of the military men, and that is enough for the countries,  what develops those weapons. And the war is not the game. There are people dying, and that is the reason why those robots are created. Everybody knows that is not fair, that operator sits another side of the world, when he or she kills a couple of people, but the target would not able to shoot down even normal fighter-bomber what is flying over 10 000 meters high, and uses smart weapons to attack the target.


The killer drones are coordinated with cruise missiles, and also there will be not able to shoot back those operators. And war is not the fair play. Normal military men shoot back their enemies, and they sometimes get angry when somebody shoots them. That is the reason, why killer robots are made under high control of the military. Robot operators are sitting in the command center, and if somebody becomes unstable the commanders can remove him immediately from that base. And that’s one reason, why those drones are created. If the fighter pilot sits alone in his fighter, there is possible that he goes in psychos in that plane. If that pilot sits in the command center, they can put under arrest immediately. The ability to take involved in operations makes the killer robots very attractive thing in the hands of military commanders.


And of course, robot fighters can make movements, what will crush human pilots. Those fighters seem like normal airplanes, but there is no pilot aboard. The robot fighter UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) is similar drone than Predators, but they are controlled by the ball simulators. Those systems are very effective if the enemy can’t cut their communication datalink. But there is a possibility to make the full automatized version of the robot fighter. Those systems bases the technology, what is known as the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). This automatized recognition system allows the system of robot fighter to shoot any target, who doesn’t give the right signal from their electronic systems. Any fighter in the world can change as a UCAV, and full automatized bombers are probably already in the service.



The bombardment will happen with modified DSMAC (Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlation) system, that recognizes the target compiling the camera's picture, with the picture what has taken from the target. That system gives robot drone a capacity for operating in tactical situations like anti-tank operations.  Or the bombardment will happen with GPS-system if it will target the fixed targets like bunkers or industrial platforms and missile silos. The bomber will fly over the one GPS-point, and then the GPS-guided bombs will be dropped from the plane, what might fly very high altitude. Those weapons might have nuclear warheads.This type of hydrogen bomb might be the precision-guided version of the GPS-controlled conventional bomb, and they can strike precise in the top of missile silo hatches or to the doors of commanding bunkers.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (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.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
