The role of navies in the war against terrorism


Kimmo Huosionmaa

President of Russia, Vladimir Putin has said, that the Russian navy has the great role in the war against terrorism, and this is one of the biggest roles also for other navies. Navy and it ships are in the key role in long-range over-seas operations, where those things can give tactical support for ground forces, deliver and carry equipment and rescue the crews of attack planes if they would shoot down or face the engine failure in those operations. 


In those cases, rescue crews can use naval ships as the base, where those pilots can be taken for getting medical attention and return home. The ships can also work as the safe place for own troops because the enemy cannot surprise those men while resting. But in the case of Russia the protecting the gas tubes, what deliver natural gas to Europe is one of the biggest roles of anti-terrorism troops. Also, offshore oil rigs are probably one of the most vital targets for terrorists.


Those targets must be protected extremely sharp because the systems that are used in the petrochemical industry are attractive targets for the men, who want publicity because they are causing a very prominent effect. And this is the main purpose of the terrorists. They want publicity for their work, and massive explosions guarantee that TV would follow that case. 


One of the reasons, why Putin want that there would not come any problems with the oil and gas delivery is that if Russia could guarantee that the gas deliveries can continue without problems, would that give change to export more gas to Europe, and also connect the policy of Europe more effectively the Russian energy. And that would give weapon in the hands of Russians because if they would not like European policy, they will just stop the gas exports. 


The thing what guarantees the buying of gas from Russia is the cheap price of the energy. But the price must be always paid, and if some political decision is against Russian interests, would that cause that the pressure in the tube would decrease.  And strong nuclear weapon would guarantee, that nobody would threat Russia by the military operation. Energy is a very good way to blackmail other nations for giving in to Russian interests.

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.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. 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
