About conflicts in Middle-East and use of under-age combatants

One very traumatic thing in the Middle-East conflict is using children as soldiers in those conflicts. When ISIS or some other terrorist organization would deliver their propaganda, they introduce under-age persons, who are armed with assault rifles. And that version is probably in use at another side. The sultan's personal soldiers, Janissary have chosen in very young age, in Ottoman's Empire, and those warriors tradition have been transferred to modern Emir's special forces in Oman and other Middle-East countries.


There is one very interesting transformation about the Janissary training. The Sultan of Turkey claimed to those persons, that their parents were Christians, who have delivered their children as slaves to Sultan. That guaranteed the loyalty and hate against Christianity of those troops, what was known as their fanaticism and brave in the battle. The modern version of that political training could be that there would be that the children whose parents have been dead claimed that the terrorists or Islamic terrorists have caused the death of those persons, and that can cause hate for rest of that child's life.


Hate makes them the good target for the special forces recruiters, and if the death caused by the terrorist attack, would that increase the hate. In this version, the real reason for the death of those parents could be driven in drunk or overdose of heroin. The story, what will be told about that incident could motivate that person to take recruiting in some special units or mercenary companies could be surer than without that kind of motivator.  Have you ever thought that maybe somebody would guide the laser-guided bombs against civilians on purpose?


One of the most important purposes of showing child combatants is provoking the opponent to open the fire against targets, where are children. And then introducing those victims, would that terrorist organization want to get people sympathized their side. Smart weapons are very effective against tanks and hardened shelters. The use of those weapons is that the laser-guided bombs would be pointed to target, what is marked by the laser designator. The designator can be installed to the aircraft or it can use the operator, who might sit on the ground and point the laser designator to the target.


That person can be the regular combatant, special forces operator or agent. The use of those weapons has become more common because they give aircraft very effective tank busting capacity, and they help avoid the civilian casualties. But if the laser-guided weapon is targeted to the civilians, would the result be more deadly than making this strike by normal free-fall bombs. Sometimes smart weapons are criticized because they allow the assassination missions, where is used aircraft.



But the answer to critics has been that behind it is Russia or the Soviet Union, what wants to deny those bombs because they danger the tank-base tactics. But that might be only the propaganda of the CIA. And today is created very small size (1-10 kg) guided bombs, what can destroy any tank or cannon on the ground. And they can be used by F-15 or other fast attack aircraft, and they are created to replace cluster bombs in those anti-tank missions.

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
