Radio transmission is the weak point of modern military drones.

 Radio transmission is the weak point of modern military drones. 


The new British military jet-propelled "Hydra 400"quadcopter is an interesting design. 


The new jet-propelled drone is an interesting design. The jet-propelled quadcopter can fly fast. And it can raise more cargo from the ground than electric engine drones. There is a possibility that these kinds of quadcopters can used as "quad autogyros". 

In those designs, the quadcopters use their quad rotors for lift-off and landing. During a long-distance flight. The drone can use free-rotation propellers and a jet engine. And that thing makes those drones fast. 

Those drones can used as kamikaze drones. Or they can launch missiles like Javelins if they are connected to them. The kamikaze quadcopters are interesting tools because they can observe the area. And if there are no targets those drones can return to base. 

But if there are some kind of targets the drone can make it's surveillance mission and then attack targets when their flight time ends. The drones can use an image-recognition homing system that allows them to take out targets with very high accuracy. 


Above Hydra-drone. 

The military is interested in independently operating drones is that those drones don't require full-time communication between the drone and HQ. The Ukraine war shows how dangerous full-time radio communication is. If the electronic intelligence finds the transmitter, the enemy can turn every cannon against those command centers. So the kamikaze-recon drone can transmit data to the command center and then dive against the target. And that helps to hide the place of the command system. 

The full-time operating radio transmissions are dangerous for drone swarms. The drone swarm where hundreds of members is a suitable target for large anti-aircraft missiles or AA grenades. Similar ELINT systems that are used for track radio transmitters also aim AA cannons at those drone swarms. High-power radio waves can jam the data communication in that drone swarm. 

Those missiles could equipped with a similar homing system as HARM (High-speed Anti Radiation missiles). The HARM-type missiles are also deadly against any radio transmitters. 

Normally HARM is shot from the aircraft. Portable shoulder-launched Stinger missiles also have a so-called "Anti-radiation variant" called Stinger ARM (Anti-Radiation Missiles) that can detect and destroy enemy radiation sources. That makes radio telephones missile magnets if the enemy can track their positions by using radio detectors. 

But there is the possibility that those missiles can be mounted on rocket launchers or warships. Warships can also use those missiles against enemy surface combat unit's radars. And that means the artillery rockets and grenades can have a warhead that can detect radio transmitters.

Individual's Behavior and “social guillotine"



Kimmo Huosionmaa

The method “social guillotine" was created on 1920’s to demonstrate the bad and unhealthy lifestyle of the  British high-society people. The non-stop parties, where wine was flowing and cigarettes were burned caused many times more deaths in the British community than the World War 1. Of course, those parties were sometimes boosted with opiates like morphine, heroin, and opium, what are very dangerous things, because the person will take an overdose of those things. The problem with opiates is also aways that they will benumb the stomach, and the user will eat too much simultaneously, and then the too fatness cause the death. Also, those narcotics caused the situation, that those people forgot to take care of their children, and this caused more problems because those children were living at the streets. Also, tumors in stomach, liver, and lungs caused the death. The “social guillotine” is same way lethal as some weapons.


And when we are talking about the bad and unhealthy lifestyle of the wealthy persons, we must notice the same thing, what many sociologists have been noticed many times before I have written this text. If the person has been made the property self, there is no problem with those people. They realize normally, that they are not alone in the world. But sometimes their children are acting like, they would be owners of the whole country. We all have met the persons who begin to all speeches by telling the people, who are son or daughter this person is, and this is sometimes very tiresome. If the person adjusted for service, this might be seen in the behavior. When Karl Marx created his model of societies, he noticed that the right wing industrial leaders were supporters of the violent model of controlling the society. Those persons, who were standing at the top of society ever want to change things in the country and the social situation in society.


They refused to talk with the people, and the arguments what aristocrats gave for using the violence against the commune of Paris and executions, what happened after it, was that the law was their side. Why they should ever listen, anybody because the law allowed the executions if some persons rebel against the state of France. Because military followed the law, there was no crime in those actions, what were the result of bad conditions of the working class people. The law is the strange thing because, until Nürnberg trials, there were no convictions about murders, what was made by the government. If the pressmen were not been followed the liberation of the concentration camps, the crimes of Nazis maybe not ever set in the trial. The crimes that were made under the communist flag, were ever prosecuted and after the Stalin’s death, his head of security service got the death penalty.


We always see that Stalin was a genocide, and in some situations, some genocides, who made crimes before his “cleanings” were able to return their honor, even if they were executed people by themselves. The thing that made the judgment wrong, was because the punishment was given by Stalin. So what we have learned about this? Hitler and his Nazis had just bad luck because they lost the war. The allied air forces were, of course, trampled German cities as the dust, but making this way, the genocide would seem more acceptable than neck-shots and gas chambers. The cement dust and high-temperature air would cause the same effect than poison gas, but they are legal methods because all Germany were mobilized, and the allies were went to total war against this state, what produced military equipment in all buildings.


The total war is one version of absolute war, what was the great idea of general major  Carl Von Clausewitz. In absolute war, there would be no room for a moral or ethical aspect of actions, what will help the army for winning the war. And in some sarcastic comments, the difference between total war and absolute war is just the number of ruins. The army is a key element in this action, and when we are looking at the military service in that time, we must notice that there were three layers in the military forces. The normal workers served as the normal soldiers, who made all work in that system, and the high-society people served in the headquarters as an officer. They just gave the orders to the people, who just followed the orders. This gave a very good reason for hate against high-class people. When we are thinking about the time, when Marx lived, the censorship was very hard. Punishment for actions against those orders was very tough, and in many countries was political prisoners.


So the way as Marx saw the society is the little bit different than modern people. He saw the high-society people only the ruling class of society, who was hiding behind the guns, what was kept in hands the mercenary soldiers. And because the high-class persons were often served as an officer, they were good targets for political propaganda. And in early 20th. century the army was a machine, what was used for denunciations. The idea was that the military men were used as the reporters for political police like Surète or Stalin’s GPU. As mentioned this, because the Eastern blocks governments used the same methodology than some government of Napoleon III. If they would make reports to secret police, they would get sergeant ranks in that organization. The reason why those aristocrats went to the army, was that gave them tough reputation.


 But when we are looking the world, the controlling class is many times against the new things, because they will need no reforms. Why the people, who use their own car wants new public transportation for some area? Here we will see. If the person doesn’t use the public services,  this person will be always against investments for those things. The same thing would happen with every service, what we will not use yourself. If the person uses private medical services, why this individual would want to make the payment also for public services? The problem is that those persons won’t hear anything, what they want. They want to be separated from other people and the real world.

New autonomous task units are entering service.
