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.

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
