"Dr. Strangelove" still lives with his doomsday weapons.

There were plans to make so-called "doomsday weapon" in Russia, and this weapon might be 50-100 megaton nuclear powered "torpedo" or underwater drone, what could detonate below sea, and that weapon would cause terrible tsunami, what can risk lives and be very devastating on both sides of the Atlantic or Pacific ocean. There were many rumors about those super powerful nuclear weapons during the  Cold War, and both sides were tested and investigated very powerful weapons like the bomber-sized cruise missiles. Those equipment were actually the strategic bombers, where were installed the fixed nuclear weapon, what might be very devastating.


Those very advanced missiles were patrol like other bombers, but if the order for the nuclear strike comes, those drones would fly to the enemy airspace, and then explode in there. In those massive nuclear missiles would use the same technology, what is used in the normal hydrogen bombs. The size of that kind of nuclear missiles would cause terrible destruction because all body of that giant cruise missile would fill with the lithium, and the nuclear fusion would begin by the normal fission bomb.


Also, there were the rumors that there were the nuclear mines on the Ocean floor. Those extreme powerful underwater nuclear weapons were reserved to kill the enemy ballistic missile submarines in the large area of seas. They would have one big problem. If those nuclear weapons are used, the own nuclear submarines would also destroy by the nuclear blast. Some people think that the super powerful nuclear drone would actually look like some "Akula" or other nuclear submarines.


There are many things, what are not mentioned about those killing machines. in the nuclear submarines have room and power to use even the supercomputers as the "brains" of the next generation robot submarines. Those underwater autonomous robots might not even need the crew, and then those submarines can patrol even the years under Ocean surface, and then attack any target, what is ordered for the destruction. The underwater drones must be connected to the transmitter, and if the transmission will shut down, drone starts to attack against the predicted enemy.


Somebody says that there are mechanisms in all submarines that if the crew is missing from the board, those submarines will detonate all nuclear warheads in the missiles, what is on board. The drone-technology can use in the nuclear submarines much easier than in airplanes because the computing capacity of those vehicles might be much powerful because they have more space than some "Predators", and the nuclear reactor can give the power supply for the supercomputers. and the nuclear reactor can give the power supply for the supercomputers and of course the sophisticated but complicated artificial intelligence needs powerful computers.

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
