Russian electronic warfare has become more effective.

Russian EW jammed the Starlink system. And that is a good example of why civilian systems are not suitable for military use. The problem with the military use of civilian GPS and other radio systems is that there is no flexibility in those system's frequencies. Chancing those frequencies is too complicated, and that thing causes problems with the communication.

If Russians know radio frequencies, that Starlink uses, they can cover those signals using the jammer signals. Same way. If the Russian EW operators know the frequency. That the GPS uses, they can jam those systems. So to find out those frequencies. The Russians must just find one working GPS and one working Starlink system. Then they can make the transmitter that transmits radio transmissions covering those frequencies.

The HiMARS system is becoming ineffective same as dart ammunition. There is proof that Russians can jam the GPS. But those systems require the information of the frequencies. The GPS jamming over the Baltic Sea can be a test of the range. That the Russian jammers can operate. The weakness of the jammer systems is that those systems are radio transmitters. Radio transmitters are easy to track. If the tracker knows the frequency that the jammer uses.

The jammer must operate with the same frequency as the radios that they need to jam. And the GPS operator knows the GPS frequencies. There is the possibility that the targeted radio systems that send thin radio fields can cut the GPS and land station signals in a way that the ground stations cannot see those radio signals that are very high and accurately aimed at radio-microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

When we think about things like a malfunction in the ground-launched small-diameter bombs (GLSDB). It's possible. That Ukrainians are not defined as launching vehicle positions. For precise, highly accurate flying the missile requires two points a launching point and a target point.

If defying the launch position is inaccurate. That thing can cause errors in flying trajectory. There is the possibility that the launching vehicle is moving when the system defines the launching point. Or the Russians can jam the GPS of the launching vehicles.

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
