"Operation Argus" one of the most incredible military actions in the history

"Operation Argus" was done in the South Atlantic in 1958. It was made by The United States Navy, and it consisted the series of small size nuclear explosives in the upper atmosphere. Those little nukes were shot in the stratosphere with tiny rockets, what can be mounted in any place in the, what man can think. The goal of those 3 very low yield test was to make the radioactive cloud in one area of the atmosphere. The idea is explained somehow without sharpness, and that's why I must say that the real purpose of those tests was to create the cloud, what consists ionized gas in the atmosphere, and if the high-altitude bombers will meet this cloud, those planes will get massive damages in their electronics. This was one part of the test series. But another purpose of the "Argus" was to create the area, what cannot see by the Soviet radar satellites what are like U.S Lacrosse-radar satellite.


In 1958 the space race was very hot, and the admirals of the fleet created the idea to put the radar in the satellite, for observing the naval operations, what the enemy does. So if the Navy wanted to keep it movements classified from the enemy radar surveillance, they must create the large-scale ionic cloud, because if the enemy observes the movements of the fleet and same time follows the communication of the Navy, will enemy crack the codes of the commanding system.


The third part of the "Argus" created the ion cloud, what denies the communication between ballistic-missile submarines and the enemy command centers. The third part of the "Argus" was to test the capacity to control of the movements of the ionized gas by radio waves or magnetic fields, and some humorists say, that this operation was created, because the government, will want to shoot down UFO:s.


The "Argus" investigated the possibility to cover all USA with the ionized cloud and in shots "Operation Hardtack I "Teak" and "Orange" and other large-scale high-yield nuclear tests, what are made in the upper atmosphere were investigated the capacity to cover the entire world with an ionic cloud, and also the capacity to create the high power EMP-pulse, what destroys all electronics on the earth.  The "Argus" might be replaced by the systems, what basics in the radio transmitters, And the HAARP system is probably mentioned to replacing the old and expensive "Argus-system".


The HAARP-system (High Frequency Active Aurora Research Program) is the system, what has the capacity to create the same kind of ionic field than "Argus", but this system is safer than those nuclear bombs. The ionic cloud of the upper atmosphere will destroy or damage the electronics of the incoming missiles and denies the radar satellite capacity to see thru the ionic cloud, and this might be revolutionary all the stealth-planes. By using the system, what covers the airplane or ship with the ions, is possible to create the plasma-stealth-system, what makes the object invisible for radars, because the plasma-stealth denies the echo from the target. Also naval or any other units can simply cover by the plasma-cloud, what denies the use of the radars to locate the units.

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
