Russian new antisatellite test endangered the ISS crew.

Russia made a new ASAT (Anti-Satellite) test. This test is made by using debris that is launched against the trajectory of the target satellite. This kind of ASAT weapon is simplest as possible. The last stage of the rocket will load by using metal balls or other debris. 

Then that debris will launch against the target satellite by using the small detonator behind that ammunition. The ASAT tests are the new demonstration of the will to create weapons that deny the use of satellites. 

The satellites have many missions in the military world like targeting, locating, and communication. If the ASAT destroys GPS (or GLONASS), recon and communication satellites. That thing will make military operations more difficult than they would be. The nuclear forces would not have their launching codes if those satellites are destroyed.

And also drone swarms and smart GPS-controlled weapons will be useless if the communication and  GPS shut down. The other targets for the killer satellites would be the large orbital laser satellites. The megawatt-class orbital lasers like Russian Polyus could be the thing that wanted to knock out. The thing is that almost every satellite in the world is a killer satellite. 

Killer satellites would be the normal communication satellites that are intercepting targets by using two-polar radio rays. In that case, the electric arc will damage the target. Or the electric arcs will cover the area by using plasma. And that kind of system can deny the communication between the ground station and killer satellites. 

The killer satellites are interesting tools. There are many types of planned weapons that can use in space. One of them is the X-ray laser. The X-ray laser is the neutron warhead where is the laser element inside it. That kind of laser can have enough power to knock out the military satellites. But the neutron weapon can also have an air core. 

That core will increase the EMP ability of the neutron weapon. And it can knock out many satellites. The most capable systems in the killer-satellites are the DEW (Directed Energy Weapons). If we are thinking of the killer satellites in the point of view that they are meant to destroy only other satellites. 

Those satellites can have machine guns or centrifugal-rail guns. The centrifugal gun is easy to connect to a magnetic accelerator. And those systems don't need very much power for destroying other satellites is not need very much power. 

They would not need megawatt-class laser or microwave systems. The needed thing is that they would only cause damages to the targeted satellite. The laser ray can destroy a satellite simply by making a hole in it. And then that laser ray would destroy the internal electronics of the targeted satellites.

What is the fifth satellite in the Russian cargo?

https://gamesandtehories.blogspot.com/

Kimmo Huosionmaa


One satellite is missing in Russian space cargo and the reason is that there is a classified satellite in the cargo with normal communication satellites. It's a very easy thing to hide a secret payload with normal civilian satellites, or actually, the normal satellites might also have secret missions. A communication satellite can also work as the intelligence and reconnaissance role, and this would be the most effective intelligence satellite in the world. The thing is like making "a man in middle" attack by using satellite in that mission.

The idea is to route the communication transmitting through the satellite, what also delivers that data also for the intelligence service like FAPSI or NSA. Also, the photo recon satellites can be load with the normal satellites. The thing is, that the secret cargo would be covered with the core, what seems like a normal satellite. And the thing, what the electronic surveillance needs are the powerful radio receiver.

Those satellites can orbit in the low Earth orbiter and collect data from the GSM and WLAN networks. The Russian FERRET-type reconnaissance satellites can track the computers, sneak the WLAN networks and collect the data from the eavesdrop devices, what spies leave in some rooms. The satellite might also be equipped with laser-microphones, and they can record the discussions in some rooms. The western intelligence agencies like NSA have similar satellites. Some electronic intelligence satellites are in the geostationary trajectory, where they can record the communication of the WLAN-networks, and those satellites tracked also Osama Bin Laden and delivered the vital information for the NSA.

But we know, that also the Russian military forces have large-scale programs for making ASAT (Anti Satellite) or "killer satellites". The traditional version satellites operate with kinetic energy, and they are driven towards other satellites. But this technology has been created in the 1960s and the modern versions of the military killer satellites use laser or other high energy weapons for terminating their targets. The primary targets for killer satellites are positioning systems like GPS and GLONASS.

The military communication and recon satellites are also in the high priority targets, and the idea of destroying those satellites is to deny the enemy troops positioning and delivering the launch codes and operative orders for enemy submarines and other troops. Those kinds of satellites are operating in the classified trajectories, where they are waiting for orders to begin the operations against enemy targets.

How is the big threat the 3M-54 "Kalibr" missile for the West?

Picture I

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/how-is-big-threat-3m-54-kalibr-missile.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

3M-54 "Kalibr" (Nato codename SS-N-27 "Sizzler" or SS-N-30) is the newest missile technology of the Russian Federation. The missiles diameter is 533 millimeter similar to torpedo tube, and it can launch from various submarines, aircraft and surface warships. Also the ground-based, mobile launchers are available, and this weapon is the major element of CLUB-K container missile system. These missile containers would be installed in any platform or fixed bases, and that system would give any ship or other vehicles the capacity to use the effective ground attack or anti-ship weapons, and there is actually the anti-submarine version of this missile. But let's think, how big threat this missile is for the western world.


The missile itself is quite thin, and its capacity to fly supersonic speed at the end of the trajectory will make it very difficult target for the CIWS (Close-In Weapon System). But the strike capacity of that missile and its vulnerability depends on the type of the seeker. If the missiles use radar homing, the ship would able to get the warning about the strike, and it could activate it's CIWS and ECM-systems before the missile would hit. But as we know, that the missile is similar to Tomahawk, and it uses satellite navigation in the subsonic period of the flight.


And if the GLONASS would be jammed or disturbed, the missile would have difficulties to find the target. And if the missile uses image-recognition for attacking the target,  the problems with GLONASS-system could cause, that missile could not find the target. But if the missile will find the target and IIR (Imaging Infra-red) would see the target, the missile will be very deadly. In the real world, there are many ways to make the navigation system immune for jammers, and one of them is that the location of the warship will be programmed to the missile's computer, and then the flight will happen by using inertial navigation system, and when the target is calculated to be visible, would the IIR system start to drive the missile to the target.


The problem with IIR navigation is that the target would be covered by magnesium-rockets, what can blind the IIR-system. When the missile is at the end of its route would the rocket stage started and the missile will start to flight highly supersonic speed. And the infra-red systems can locate the exhaust gas of the rocket booster. This might increase the vulnerability of the missile, and also at the begin of the route when missile travels with subsonic speed, the fighters maybe can destroy it.


I don't know how advanced those missiles are, and can they change their speed during the flight, but the system is very serious threat for Western troops. It can be equipped with the conventional or nuclear warhead, and there might be the capacity to use also cluster warheads, what are effective against troop concentrations and airbases. There is one thing, what concerns about me, and that is, "why Western world is so quiet about those missiles?".


What kind of missiles western military covers? When we are thinking about the new type of missiles, we might say, that every nation keeps some of those weapons secrets, because they might give the nasty surprise for the enemy. The similar missiles what "Kalibr" is might be used in new hypersonic missile systems, where the rocket booster would take the missile to "ballistic jump" outside the atmosphere, and then the ramjets would start to drive them to the target.


The small diameter of that kind of weapon would make it very difficult to intercept. And the submarine launch ballistic missiles like R-29RMU2 "Layner" could carry at least four of those hypersonic cruise missiles, what makes that strike very lethal. The "Kalibr" is the spine of the modern Russian military strike capacity, and it could be the lethal and dangerous weapon for any target on the sea or land.

Writing about the secure computer solutions

(picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Trojan horse can also be secured computer solution because the system might transfer the information to the third part´s databases, and nobody else cannot see the information what this kind of computer program will send to the hackers. This kind of intelligence software can be used by the NSA for monitoring the targetted military bases.


That software can pass the vulnerability test, and they can be very secure things, but they will send the information to the NSA servers, without nobody ever notices anything. When I'm writing about NSA, it can mean any kind of military organization, what has in the interests to collect the information from some special secured databases, and then target the other military actions against those targets. The targets for those operations might be the personnel, who are in the key role in the national security.


This kind of thing might be the operating system size surveillance program, what might have also the capacities to destroy the weapon systems databases, or even terminate all operating systems in the missile control computers. So this kind of thing could be the logical bomb, what is very good support weapon for another military equipment. If the operating systems of the missiles and airplane computers can be erased, the enemy could not use their most effective weapon systems like smart bombs and sharp Stand-off missiles, because if the operating system of the computers of the missiles has been erased, there would be no change to aim those things.


Also if the GPS/GLONASS and communication satellites would be terminated by using the computer viruses for those satellites, and that kind of viruses can make the satellite unable to work for a couple of hours, until the computer programs were reloaded to satellites main computer. The time when the computer viruses are effective in those systems might be the only couple of minutes, but when the mission-critical system will be halted in a couple of minutes, would the result be devastating, if the nuclear submarines won't get the launching codes if enemy missile raid would already begin.


Then we are talking about this kind of military systems, what can shut down enemy communication systems or even the tactical fire control in the minutes. We must think that the NSA or whatever intelligence or military organization is behind this kind of operation, would that organization think, that it is only part, what will get that information and ability to use those programs and malware in their own purposes. That kind of programs can steal the information of the nuclear staff of the military forces, and then the special forces can be targeted the assassination operations against that personnel, what is in the main role of the launching process.
