Reselling the weapons is the problem in the international weapons trade

Legal weapons trade is very controlled thing, and selling weapons to the countries, what are in the war, is strictly prohibited by the international law. The problem of the selling weapons is not actually, that manufacturers of the weapons are breaking those rules. Many weapons will be sold to the legal customers like Saudi-Arabia, and that country is not in the war, but then we must realize, that some of those weapons might be resold to some other country, what is in the war.


Here I must say, that Saudi-Arabia officially follows the international law, but there is a phrase in those countries, what goes that "what the man speaks is not mean that man even knows what the other men do".  So there might be little difference between the truth and speech. The problem is that is those illegal weapons trade would uncover, there will be found some corrupted officials, who get the punishments. In those cases, there would be no evidence, that the government would systematically break the international law. But as I mentioned, the weapon reselling is the big problem.


This system would go like this, first, the western nation will sell the weapons to some legal customer, what will resell some of those weapons to some other country, what will resell them to some other nation, and this is the very big problem. When there is the concatenated sell process in the front of the user, those weapons are very difficult to trace, because that stuff might be marked as the metal trash, what goes to the steel factories. When those containers would open, there would be weapons and other military stuff.


And of course, those customers of those productions would remove the marks of the tanks and armored personnel carriers (APC:s), what would make difficult to recognize that military equipment as the Piranha or AMV (Armoured Modular Vehicle) APC:s. This means that the type shields of that vehicle will be removed, and the shape of those vehicles will try to change by installing the canvas and equipment baskets on the roof of those vehicles. The purpose of this action is to make the vehicle more difficult to recognize if they are visible on the TV or Internet.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
