The small-size autonomous ekranoplans might have many uses in the civil and military world.

We all remember the Soviet Ekranoplan called the "Caspian sea monster".(1).  The large-size ground-effect plane that planned for fast amphibious, and anti-ship, and anti-submarine platform. There were also other but smaller projects like four A-90 "Orlynok" ekranoplans. Those were in test drive with the Soviet Navy. 

The successor of the "Caspian sea monster" was the "Lun"-class ekranoplan, which was in service from 1988 to the late 1990s. Those ekranoplans or ground-effect (WIG (Wing-In Ground)or GEV (Ground-Effect Vehicles) aircraft planned to make low altitude attacks against the enemy fleet and transport troops so fast that the enemy could not react to those operations. 

There is planned to make ship-size ekranoplans. But those projects remain at the level of drawings. But the small-size ekranoplans can be acting as the sea-skimming cruise missile. The origin of that idea is also in Soviet Navy. The giant Bartini-Beriev VVA-14 (5)officially planned to destroy the enemy surface warships. But there is the possibility that some specialists planned to arm this strange-looking aerial vehicle by using an internal warhead.

Image 2: "Lun"-class ekranoplan

Image 3: Bartini-Beriev VVA-14

That means the remote-control version of the VVA-14 could act as the missile. And those vehicles could arm with large thermonuclear warheads. So that system would be the flying version of Status-6 "Kanyon" torpedo that carries 1-100 mt. internal warheads(6). The ground-effect craft can carry the nuclear torpedo in the internal bomb bay. 

And they can drop those torpedos at the right point. Those systems can also collect nuclear torpedos from the ocean. The nuclear torpedo is a small-size miniature submarine that uses RTG or nuclear battery for patrolling. 

Or the term "nuclear torpedo" means the miniature kamikaze-submarine which is equipped with a nuclear detonator. If those nuclear torpedos are patrolling there should be vehicles that can collect them out of water.  But the same systems can also make kamikaze attacks against the targets. 

 When we are thinking of the small-size ekranoplans they can drop from bombers. And those weapons can fly extremely low altitudes and hit the ships. Or those systems can fly inside the hardened bunkers and detonate inside them.

Gyrojet pistols and rifles -the attempt to make rocket projectile for handguns

13 mm. Gyrojet pistol
Picture I

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/gyrojet-pistols-and-rifles-attempt-to.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Gyrojet pistols and rifles were created in 1960's for using the rocket ammunition. The orderer of that unique weapon was United States military and the use of rocket ammunition would eliminate the shell of the cartridge, and that could cover the shooting point, what would give the dogs smell of those soldiers. The Gyrojet-weapons were meant for special forces, what would have troubles with the shells. The ammunition would accelerate after leaving the barrel, and that would make those weapons very effective.


One of the reasons for creating this weapon was the idea, that by using rocket ammunition would the pistol and rifle have the same firepower, and also the solution, where the same weapon fits all purposes would be attractive. In some solutions, the gyrojet would equip with the extended barrel and the removable stock, what would give the same accuracy to that gun, as the rifle has. This would remove the need for two guns and ammunition, what makes loading the gun easier. And because the same weapon fits different missions it would be suitable for special forces operators, who spent weeks behind the enemy lines.



And if the weapon should carry as the sidearm and sort range purposes, those extended barrels and stocks could be removed. This Gyrojet solution was the fiasco, as you might know, and the manufacturing of this weapon stopped in 1960's. But after that have been rumors, that military forces have tested Gyrojet-type rocket bullets, what are loaded with the standard ammunition. In this solution, the rocket ammunition would be used with standard assault rifles.



The diameter of that rocket would be same as the bullet, and when the assault rifle would be launched, the shell would be thrown away as the standard ammunition. The rocket ammunition would give more sensitive acceleration for ammunition, and that would make it suitable for smart bullets. Those bullets are actually miniature missiles, what would home to target with the miniature computer. And the aiming for those bullets happens with lasers. The structure of those smart bullets are the same as guided "Copperhead" ammunition, but they are smaller. That ammunition is planned to use in the positions like hostage rescue and anti-sniper operations. In those cases, the nano-robot would mark the target with the laser ray, and then the ammunition will take the target off.

Next generation of military submarines is entering the service

(Picture I)

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/next-generation-of-military-submarines.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The next generation of missile submarines have extremely high precision strike capacity, and those submarines can be equipped with hypersonic cruise missiles. Here I'm writing about both sides the United States Navy's and the Russian Navy's new equipment, what is developing on both sides of the new cold war. And also China would be interested in those systems, what have many capabilities to destroy enemy's sea or land targets with surgical strikes. Those weapons are fully automatized, and they can operate without the crew years at the sea, without coming to the base, and they are the most dangerous military systems, what have ever developed.


In these scenarios, the ballistic missiles like Trident D-5 or SS-N-20 "Seahawk" would be equipped with the aerodynamic warheads or scramjet engined cruise missiles, what can fly straight to target with speed over Mach 6. Those missiles are very hard to intercept, and the warning time would be extremely short. They can be equipped with STEALTH-technology or active DEW (Directed Energy Weapon) system, what mission is to destroy or disturb the anti-aircraft missiles, what are shooting against those incoming hypersonic cruise missiles.


That very high-speed equipment would destroy the target by using kinetic energy, and its survivability for attack can be increased by installing the RATO-system, what gives electricity to the magnetrons, what can create very powerful microwave signals to those targets. That system could damage the mission-critical systems of the targetted vessel. In this case, the microwave transmitter's mission would destroy enemy electronics equipment and give extreme heat to the hull of the targeted vessel or supply dump.


This system would not close the existence of thermonuclear warhead, and the microwave systems mission would be helping the missile to survive the counter missiles, and the microwave would plow the enemy anti-aircraft missiles away from the route of attacking missile. Those new submarines would have many technical advantages, like the capacity to patrol without the crew. So those next-generation missile submarines can patrol in the deepest seas years without coming to the base. If the crew is necessary, those men can transfer to the submarine by the hull of the support vessel. And the submarine itself stays unseen.


The crew transfer can also be used for another submarine, and in this might be one purpose to build the "Uniform class" nuclear-propelled midget submarines. Drone submarines can patrol at sea, and be waiting for orders to begin the operation against enemies, but sometimes those vessels need service and that's why the service crew must sometimes visit in those submarines, what can be patrolling in the secret locations, and wait for orders to open fire with missiles, or start to hunt enemy submarines and surface battle units.

About Russian hypersonic missile and strengths and weaknesses about hypersonic cruise missiles

(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Russia has said, that it would have the new hypersonic missile, what can knock out any U.S Carrier from the sea. This concept is not actually very new, and the beginning of this weapon is in the early 90's when the Soviet Union collapsed. In that time engineers worked with the new type of weapon, what based on the ramjet-propellant hybrid missile, that could avoid U.S air defense. Hypersonic missiles have many strangenesses but also weaknesses, and one of those weaknesses is that those missiles cannot make many curves, what makes probably possible to calculate their flight route and the target, and the heating of the nose can also allow targeting the missile with infrared systems. This can help the target to predict the attack, and send the anti-aircraft missiles against those hypersonic weapons.


The weapon was meant for a shoot to ballistic trajectory by using conventional ICBM missile like SS-19 or it's the first stage, and then the missile would dive in the atmosphere. After or during the dive, the fuel would be injected to the ramjet engine, and then the cruise missile could start to fly to its target in the speed of Mach 6 or more, and that very high speed would make the defense against that missile very difficult, and those missiles would be very big threat for any target in enemy territory.


Those cruise missiles would seem the little bit like SS-N-21, but they must be more aerodynamic than SS-N-21. Those missiles would be devastating even without the warhead, and if they would attack against carrier fleet, would the level of kinetic energy be very high, if that kind of missile hits the ship. But of course, that kind of cruise missiles can carry the conventional or nuclear warhead. The problem of the warhead is that very high speed of the weapon would make the timing of detonator quite difficult, because if the warhead detonates in the different time, would the armored nuclear command bunkers survive the attack.  The modern computer technology makes those missiles more deadly than ever before.


Modern computers allow the missile to change it's course and speed all the time, and also image identification system allows them to attack sharply than ever before. Those systems bases that the photograph of the target is installed in the memory of the computer, and then the camera takes the picture, what is compiling with the picture that is saved in the memory of the computer. When those pictures are perfectly in one on the other, the weapon attack straight to the target. Hypersonic cruise missiles are very difficult for defenders because they are extremely high-speed targets, what can fly in low level.


There is, of course, one weakness about those weapons. That is that their nose would be heated in very high temperature and that infrared signature can be used to aim anti-aircraft weapons to those targets. The most effective weapons, what can be used against those hypersonic cruise missiles could be DEW:s (Directed Energy Weapons) like lasers, what can aim to target by using infrared cameras. And if there would be creating the hole in the nose of that missile, would that cause the situation, that the hypersonic weapon would be destroyed before it hits the target. But that needs the direct hit to the missile. The speed of hypersonic cruise missile causes, that if any projectile hits it, by flying straight to the nose of that weapon, that would destroy the hypersonic missile by very high-level impact power. And those high-speed missiles cannot turn very tight curves, what could be possible to calculate the point, where that missile would fly, what might make defense possible.

Lockheed XQM-60 "Kingfisher" the early version of hypersonic cruise missiles

Lockheed XQM-60 "Kingfisher"
(Picture I)

http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.fi/p/lockheed-xqm-60-kingfisher-early.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

I found an article at Internet or Wikipedia, where was told a story of XQM-60 "Kingfisher" target drone, what had the capacity to speed of mach 4,3. This ramjet- propelled drone was in operational in 1951, and this thing was meant that the United States Air Force had the capacity to make hypersonic cruise missiles in 1950's.


In this drone had the same capacity to strike targets than some Tomahawk cruise missile. This kind of drones was officially made for anti-ballistic missile simulations, but there are so many details in this drones history, that I think the real purpose of that project was creating the very fast missile, what had the capacity to destroy targets by using kinetic energy. That means that "Kingfisher" might use as the model to create those extreme powerful missiles, what have the capacity to destroy specific targets in the enemy ground.


When we are looking at the United States reactions for China and Russian attempt to create those weapons, we must consider that the USA doesn't say anything about this kind of things. But when we are thinking about the procedures of the military forces way to give information, we must consider that they would give only the information, what is necessary to give. This means that the first hypersonic cruise missiles might fly in 1960's in the nose of some Nike-Hercules rocket. But this is only the thoughts about this drone.


We must remember that also "Tomahawk"-cruise missile started its career as the BQM-109 target drone, and when this drone was equipped with the nuclear warhead, it became BGM-109 "Tomahawk", what is the primary long-range weapon in the United States Navy. And maybe the name "Kingfisher" was meant to warn the enemies of United States, that this drone can drive to impact the enemy warships and bunkers. And the kinetic energy would destroy that target without warning if the nose of the missile would use Stealth technology for avoiding the radar of the targeted warship. Also, active ECM-system might be used to make sure that the missile would hit the target.

Could the chemical strike to Douma caused by the malfunction of FAE-bombs?

 Kimmo Huosionmaa


There is one link below the text, and there you might see the thing what is very problematic in the use of chemical weapons. In Douma, the used chemical agent was claimed to be Chlorine, what is actually stifling chemical, and the base purpose if use that chemical is the Chlorine just pulls air away, and it would stifle the persons, who are in the targeted area. If the Chlorine is in drip formation or it is used very large amount, could it sterilize the victim's skin, and that situation is very dangerous.


In that case, the mushrooms and bacteria would cause very dangerous skin infections. In the chemical warfare normally the Chlorine causes similar death than carbon monoxide, and the symptoms are similar than normal loss of oxygen. But in Douma case, the dust, what raises from the ground can cause choke of the victims, and the Chlorine is also sometimes used in thermobaric explosives, what are normally known as FAE (Fuel Air Explosives) or aerosol bombs.


The USA, Russia and many other countries have large numbers of those weapons in their arsenal. And the first time they were used in large numbers or they came to public knowledge was Vietnam war, where they were used by A-1 "Skyraiders" against Viet-Cong troops.  After that those weapons are installed also in fast tactical airplanes.


Russia has been created also portable FAE-ammunition, what can shoot to target by using RPG-7 bazookas and other portable weapons like rifle mounted grenade launchers. I don't know does USA use similar portable FAE-weapon systems. But in Vietnam was also used portable acetylene bottles, what could be used against Viet-Cong tunnels, but were they in operational use is not reported.


Are some of those weapons does not explode, the Chlorine would deliver to the area like in the normal chemical attack. In this case, the malfunction of legal ammunition can cause the effect of the chemical attack. In aerosol bombs, the bomb delivers some high inflammable gas to air, and then the small detonator causes the ignition in that cloud, what can explode with the power of the small nuclear weapon.


The used chemical in this kind of weapons is normally some hydrocarbon, but also Chlorine is very usable for that purpose. That gas is very reactive, and it makes very good explosion effect. One reason for losing oxygen from the air could be the use of FAE-bombs, what causes the loss of oxygen because those ammunition uses the oxygen from the air to burn. Also, the large goal of napalm has the same effect.


The easiest way to make FAE-ammunition is to fill the canister with hydrocarbon or halogen gas like chlorine and drop them to targets with napalm bombs. And the napalm is sometimes used with that kind of  FAE-bombs because that makes sure that those weapons would explode. Normally FAE-bombs are used because of their pressure effect, what is sharper than splinter bombs. That's one reason, why FAE bombs are sometimes wanted to classification as "inhumane weapons".

Complex political triangle in the international politics, authoritarian governments, great natural resources and nuclear weapons

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Most of the wars are reasons the economic conditions.The war of natural resources was also Hitler excuse for Barbarossa. And before that for the attack to Poland. "Lebensraum" was the excuse for the attack to Poland. But real reasons were the oil of Bessarabia. For that object must German army open the door to the Soviet Union. And the German people were told that those attacks are caused by the need to connect those areas, where was living German people in Germany. If the oil fields would be attacked by nuclear weapons, what would use against troops what are fighting in that area, would the destruction be very total, the troops that are serving in that area would be eliminated, but the infrastructure would also be destroyed. That would because many problems when the oil production would be restarted. Those problems would be that this area is polluted by radioactive material, and also the oil production systems what have been in that area should rebuild.


Those nations that are targeted to strike have many times dictatorship or the authoritarian way to control the people in their model of leading the state. The situation of the political leadership, the model of leading the nation is not so simple as people normally thinks. Many people ask why those governments would not be fallen by military forces, but those actions would make many deaths in those areas. And of course the western pilots and other military personnel, who operates in that are are always in danger. If the nuclear weapons are used in those countries, would those weapons sweep the opposing military forces out of the area, but those weapons would also destroy the oil refineries from those areas.


Dictatorship is the model of the state in many nations, what have very much natural resources. And that makes them perfect target for military actions, but also we must remember that those countries are independent nations, and the great natural resources of their area are always causing the problems because those national leaders can choose their own supporters. The problem of those authoritarian leaders of the nation is that those governments are actually confessed in United Nations.


And this makes the situation very difficult and complex. Those nations the social and economic differences are very strong. And some cases normal person, who lives in those countries cannot even write their own name. And the only book, what they have ever kept in their hands is Koran. That makes those people very good target for provocateurs, who would promise them the place in paradise if they would join terrorist groups.


The problem with dictatorship is that those nations have no opposite force for their leaders, who would not get information of the consequence of their orders. Or they would get information, what involves only positive things about their decisions. They would not see the other side of their orders, what could cause something, what they won't even think. If the maker for decision would not see every side of the thing, the decision would be someway unthinkable.


Every leader of the nation needs the opposition, that those leaders see another part of the problem, what might be more complex than the rulers ever thought. Then we are thinking of the situation when the Soviet Union was a collapse, the world was tuned right. There was not socialism anymore, and workers were lost their supporter, was the message, what was told to people. When we are starting to think the opinions of the working people, they would not get support from the Soviet Union as much as people thought. The reason for turning right was that the fear of the Soviet Union was dammed many things in the society to the left wing, and in rumors, every mayday parade was caused by the Soviet Union.


The laws changed to right, and the society works like some kind of water. When people would transfer the water to another side of the pool,  there would be a giant wave. The collapse of the Soviet Union released the wave, what fell to the right side of society. In that time the socialism was fallen, and this thing caused the social room, where the only real ideology was marketing economy. That thing caused the situation, where nobody had power in parliament to say nothing against the right wing laws, what was not very well organized.


Because opposition was weak, there would be no reason to listen to their opinions. Many persons believe, that left-wing opposition presenter were protected by Soviet nuclear weapons.Why the government should ever hear other opinions of the laws, what it has right to adjust? In that situation, many people saw, that opposition was led by the Soviet Union, and when that supporter was left, there were no reasons to listen to opposition arguments. Now we can see the results of that kind of politics. In that time the Soviet Union was gone in history. There was not the boogeyman for media, what would use as the silencer. There was an intuition, that nothing was allowed to say against the Soviet Union, because if the leaders of that country would start nuclear attack immediately if some writings don’t support it.


This is left the very bad thing in our political commonwealth. The fear of nuclear strike has given us the journals, where is sometimes glamorize the Russian nuclear arsenal. That arsenal is of course very large, but in those writings the only thing, what is mentioned is that Russia has the world's largest Nuclear weapons, and that’s it. If the leaders of that nation would not like the writings, it would use its nukes immediately. And this is very short-term way of thinking. The war is the cause of the economic situation or attempts to get economic advantages of those areas.


And if somebody would use nuclear weapons against the targeted country, the results would be, that all infrastructure of that nation would be destroyed. In this case, the nuclear weapons would cause the situation, that all cities of the opponent are rumbled to dust. Also, large land areas would be polluted, and that causes that the nuclear weapons make those land areas dangerous to use. The cleaning of those areas would take very long period, and the economy of that area would be the break. So the financial advantages could be very small from those areas where nuclear weapons have been used. So this limits sometimes the will of using those ultimate weapons against some nations.

About situation in Ukraine

7K720 Iskander missile
(NATO SS-26 "Stone")
(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Vladimir Putin and the situation in Ukraine are not been very often in a stand at public media. Reason for that is there is nothing going on in that place, what is called as the Crimean peninsula. This place is in very important strategic location when we are thinking about a transportation of Caucasian oil and gas by tubes to European markets. If the Caucasian oil and gas will replace Russian products, that would mean the decrease of Russians economic and political influence. And in the real world, that means that Russia cannot cut those deliveries for having political acceptance for other actions. If the nation doesn't use Russian oil and gas, the threat would give only by the military forces. And it looks like bad in the international politics. Open threading by weapons will cause the public opinion turn against Russia.

And there have been ideas of massive United Nations peacekeeping operations in Ukraine, but the reason of Russian military power the passion for this kind of operations is much lower than in Afghanistan and Iraq. Russian nuclear force is the very frightening thing, what will make think twice, if somebody wants to operate in Ukraine with United Nations mandate. Russian interest is that situation in Ukraine will forget as fas as possible. Also, many European countries will want to normalize their relationship with Russian leaders.


If we think that the USA would come in this situation with military forces, we must say, that this scenario is very improbable, because this nation has been in the war since 2001, and that would be not very good for the reputation of that country. The prize of that war is very high, and the operation in Afghanistan and Iraq have cost more than the Second World War. Also, the losses of human lives in those wars have been very high, and the people of USA have tired about the war.


The war between the USA and Russia would be the World War III, what might mean nuclear holocaust, where the big part of the human population will be killed. This is the reason, why the solution to this problem is not able to find the military way. The problem with this crisis is that Russian military has got power to stand in that area, and those troops are highly protected by nuclear weapons, what has installed on highly mobile battlefield systems warships.


Those weapons are extremely difficult to detect, and they have the capacity to destroy the entire city. If those truck-mounted weapons would detect, they are quite easy to destroy by tactical fighters, helicopters or commando-strike. But the detection is the problem. The weapon itself can be destroyed by anti-tank weapons or bombs. If the core of the bomb will be broken, radioactive plutonium will be delivered to the ground.  But of course, nuclear weapons have the very hard defense and strikes can be shielded by the security-fire by the security team. So this makes those weapons extreme difficult targets for military forces. The system goes, that tactical nuclear weapons will be used in the first strike, and those weapons are supported by strategic nuclear weapons And if Russian conventional forces would get in trouble those weapons will be used in this kind of situation.

Aquajet and the new way to make drones, what is capable even for nuclear strike

(Picture 1)

https://www.instagram.com/p/BewQePKl8PV/

Above is the link for one story in Instagram. It is a story of the underwater scooter, what looks like Lockheed MQM-105 "Aquila” drone. The name of this thing is an Aquajet, and it could be equipped with GPS- or gyroscope systems, what allows it to drive to target automatically.  This story gave me an idea, that the electric-powered drones can also use as the miniature submarines, what can make many missions under water. The ”Aquilas” uses propellers to move in the air, and those same things can also use to move the drone underwater. They can be used as the recon missions, but they can also track other missiles to the target. So those miniature recon planes would be very effective in many missions.



And of course, ”Aquilas” can equip with warheads. So they can use as the missiles. If ”Aquilas” would have RTG (Radio Thermal Generator) it can fly very long time, and that miniature drone can also use for strategic intelligence missions. Because it flying time would be extremely long, it can hang near some target like FSB:s headquarters, and record the sounds from that house by using laser microphones. And it could also drop the brand new bug-sized recon robots, what are CIA:s new weapon in the intelligence world.

Lockheed MQM-105 "Aquila"
(Picture 2)

The idea of that kind of hybrid aircraft is very old, and in 1930’s the Soviet Union planned to make the ”flying submarine” in the form of SB-2 bomber. The purpose of the aircraft, what has the capacity to submerge is that thing can slip underwater in the target, and then fly away after the strike. The B-2 had planned to have that capacity, but it was probably not accomplished. There is a rumor that some navies are testing midget submarines, what is about the jet fighter size vessels, what are equipped with torpedos or missiles. And NAVY-SEAL’s UDV:s Underwater Delivery Vehicles can equip with torpedos, Maverick and Harpoon missiles. That equipment would installed at the outer side of those vehicles. The torpedo would be behind the missile, and it could patrol at the seas without any notice about it.


There is also believed that the Trident or Tomahawk missiles were installed in very large torpedoes. Those torpedoes or very long enduring drones would patrol at the ocean by using the RTG-generators for produce the electric power for its motors, and when the order was given, those very small drones would rise their nose upwards and then the missiles motors would state. This is the new way of military technology, and the meaning of those small unmanned drones is to fill the US Trident fleet, and serve as the backup vehicles if the large submarines would be destroyed.

The new Russian 100 megatons nuclear weapon is the horrifying thing.

Castle Romeo (1953)
(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Russian new 100 megatons nuclear weapon will be the most powerful and devastating weapon in the history of mankind. The weapon bases the technology, what has been used in the famous "Tsar Bomba", what had the capacity for 50-60 megaton detonation. That thing is giant FFF (Fission-Fusion-Fission) technology, where inside the core of the bomb is multiple layers of the plutonium, natural uranium, and fusion fuel. Sometimes I have thought that this powerful weapon is actually two "Tsar bombs" what are put together. The natural uranium will capture one neutron during the nuclear detonation, and it will transform as the plutonium 239, and then happens the fission reaction, what will press the fusion material thinner form, and that will boost fusion reaction.


100 megaton nuclear device what would be made with that technology is extremely heavy, and it would be used in the Russian new long-range torpedo-drone, what can patrol at the ocean, and if the nuclear warfare will start, the huge nuclear explosion would cause the tsunamis, and that explosion might be dangerous for any nuclear submarine, what is patrolling in the Atlantic. The explosion of that magnitude device is very devastating, and it could be the danger the crew of the dropping airplane. Over 21 meters long device could be dropped from Ilyushin 72 cargo-planes ramp, but the detonation would cause the loss of all flight group.

(Picture 2)

Those very powerful nuclear weapons don't need to be sharp because they would cause the destruction area, what is bigger than France. And when that size nuclear weapon explodes, there is possible that there will form the small black hole, what will suck the atmosphere thru it. Or another fear is that extreme high temperature could cause the situation, where the nitrogen starts to react with oxygen, and all atmosphere will start to burn. That's why I'm thinking, that maybe that gigantic nuclear device is installed fixed way in some nuclear bomber.


That bomber is actually modified as the gigantic cruise missile and the type of that thing might be Tu-95 "Bear", TU-160 "Blackjack" or M-4 "Bison". The vehicle would need very powerful engines, and that's why lighter aircraft could not carry that weapon. It would be detonated inside the robot bomber, and then the crew should not informed with that thing.  I sometimes have thought, that maybe that weapon is used only in the giant submarine-drone.

The advanced cruise missile systems are the most complicated things in the global operational area

The missile is very devastating and feared weapon, even if it doesn’t have the explosive warhead. The kinetic energy is also very devastating if the missile hits against their targets at the speed of  20 000 kilometers per hour. Normally modern military forces use bombers or tactical multirole fighters to carry the nuclear weapons to the targets because the strike can pull back. The missile launch is the end of the negotiations because when the intercontinental ballistic missile is launched the mission could not pull back, and the targets will be destroyed.

That would cost millions of lives because the enemy will make the counterstrike. The dark side of the space shuttle program is that kind of technology, what is used in the space shuttle can be used in the space bombers, what are actually the ICBM-missiles what can return to the base. The space shuttle can be converted to space bomber very easily. The cargo bay of the shuttle can load with the thermonuclear weapon.


Also, the cruise missiles can be formed as the space shuttles, and the new cheap and highly automatized miniature shuttles like X-37B could be the form of the new kind of cruise missiles, what can rise above the atmosphere and if the strike is not needed, can that missile return to the base. Those shuttles can use as the platforms in the many space projects, and one of them is very effective cruise missiles, what can be used in the operations for the national security. The return of those spacecraft can be made with the parachute, and they can also launch by the submarine launch missiles to the low earth orbital, where they can use as the threat for the enemies.


Also, miniature shuttles can collect the ICBM warheads from the orbital trajectory, and that will cause the revolution in the global way to think about the thermonuclear warfare. Those vehicles can also use the tracking devices for the warheads, and they can now strike against the fast-moving targets. Also if the warheads can connect to that space shuttle, those shuttles can help them maneuvers and also rise their altitude, and this way every single warhead has a capability to transfer as a FOBS-weapon.


The problem of the Fractional Orbital Bombardment systems is that those weapons can be hijacked by the space shuttles and also the service for those systems is very difficult. If the FOBS warhead is mounted to the X37B the weapon can be returned to the earth for service. If that operation will be done in the orbital trajectory, would every single telescope on the earth see those actions near the satellite, what is very easy to destroy with ASAT weapons, what can be installed to the Atlas rocket, what can raise that weapon even the highest trajectories, that be can imagine.

Why is the war so close in the Korean peninsula?

The problem of the Korean situation is that Kim Jong Un and his government doesn't even care about how many people will die if there will be nuclear conflict in that area. That government is the only thing, what must survive in that devastating war, is the key thought of the North-Korean leader's mind. They know, that they have only one option to left if their country will slip off their iron hand.

Those leaders must open the fire with nuclear weapons because that is the only way to survive the hands of their people, who don't even know that they are suffering. In the North Korean dictatorship, the key element is that those people have no real information from the outer world. Those people will allow to read and see only the information, what Kim Jong Un will let them see, and if somebody will see something else, will the result be arrest and send those people to prison camps.


The North Korean media like that country's internet will give those people false information about their leaders and relation from the outer land. In that land is the media, what claims that outer world is full of wars and epidemics. That's why the humans have so difficult to flee from that country. The brainwashing will be starting before those people will go to school, and if somebody has different opinions on the things like government, will they send to the prison camps.


For their parents will tell, that their children are the maniac or other ways mentally ill, and then they will leave to the camps. That's the reason, why there are no protests in that country. North Korean leaders know that if the information bubble will collapse, they can expect the hanging in the nearest street light. This is the reason, why this country always threat another state. Psychiatrical reasons are the good thing to isolate the political prisoners because their thinking and talking might deliver information virus to the people of the North Korea.  The information is like infection, what will start to flare around the community.


The reason why the North-Korea actually exists is that the United States and South Korea needs the state between South Korea and China. If China attacks on the South Korea, will the battles happen in the area of North Korea. And also China needs the buffer country between it and the Western propaganda, as they claim the South Korean government. The area of the North Korea is important to China because that isolates the China from South Korea and the propaganda transmissions, what the United States will send to the China.

Some persons believe that the North Korean threat will be stopped if the western world will withdraw from this situation. But as we might say, why the western world ever puts hard line against this kind of states, whatever keep their contracts. Those countries are always broke their promises, and this is why the western nations will not able to flee from that situation because that will give to Kim Jong Un the signal that North Korea can begin to threat other countries when it wants to do that.

The China's new anti-ship weapon will put America's aircraft carriers in the danger.

DF-26

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The China build a new kind of anti-ship missile like DF-26, what have an extremely long range and the mobile launchers.  Those anti-ship missiles targets are United States aircraft carrier units, what they will hit with the speed of Mach 12. Those weapons are terrifying because the extremely high speed and the truck-mounted launchers can make that weapon extremely deadly. 

Those very fast flying missiles are very problematic for the defense of those battlegroups. Even if those missiles will locate before the hit, the aircraft have the problem to fly about 1000 nautical miles to the target, and if the missiles have been launched, the attack will be useless. I’m almost sure that those missiles can be targeted by remote control via internet, and the missile crew must only to drive their truck to the launching point and leave the truck after the missiles are fired. 

The locating the target would happen with satellites or patrolling airplanes, and after the aircraft carrier is located, the launching parameters can be sent by the Internet in the second, and then the missile will rise up from its launcher. The problem with that missile is that it will need no nuclear warhead to destroy their targets, and actually, those missiles destroy their targets with kinetic energy. And that makes the defense very difficult. Those kinetic warheads diameter can be very small size, and that will make those missiles very dangerous. 

Of course, the United States might convert some of their ballistic Minuteman III missiles for that kind of strike. The kinetic energy missile needs very sharp guidance system, that they can strike precise to their target.  And the guidance system of that missile can be IIR (Imaging Infra Red) what is very sharp. That kind of guidance system bases the camera, what makes a picture of the target. Another picture what is taken of the target is stored in those missiles computers, and then the computer will check that those pictures are fully one on the other. That’s how the missile will strike straight to the target.

The North Korean nuke is not probably very technical, but it might work as very good deterrent

When we are talking about the technology, what is used in the missiles of the North Korea, we must say that the diagrams of those systems are available in all libraries in the west and many Internet-pages. The missile of the North Korea seems like some kind of copy of the Titan missile from the 1950’s. The rocket of the longest range missiles of that country might be liquid fuel systems, but the smaller might use the solid fuel.

The problem with solid fuel rockets is that they need very special chemical industry, and that’s why liquid fuel rocket is more easy to produce. The liquid fuel rockets normally can use any kind of hydrocarbon and oxygenated for the fuel, and that’s why German scientists choose the liquid fuel for V-2 rocket fuel. The solid fuel is more effective in missile technology because that fuel can store inside the missile, and it gives missile shorter reaction time.


There is also the liquid fuel combinations what has the capacity to store inside the rocket, but the problem of those fuels is that they are very corrosive. The nitric acid and hydrazine are the very popular combination of the fuel, what is used in missiles, but the problem is that those components are very poisonous and corrosive.


The main rule is that if the rocket has more than one motor, it will be liquid fuel system. The structure of liquid fuel rocket is more complicated than solid fuel systems, and the problem is that is that. if there is oxygen in the fuel tank, it will cause the explosion.


And the pressure in the motor firing chamber will rise very high, and that is the reason, why liquid fuel rockets must equip with the powerful pump system, what pulls the fuel with a higher pressure that there is in the firing chamber. If the pressure would be less than in the firing chamber will the fire sucked in the tank, and the result might be the explosion. And that was the problem also with many other rockets.

The rocket is not the only part of nuclear weapons. Also, the guidance system is very important part of this very complicated weapon systems. North Korea might use the inertial guidance, where the gyroscope will guide the missile to the target. And that system needs two points for the sharp guidance. The beginning point of the trajectory must determine sharp because that makes the missile the capacity to strike with high accuracy. If the launch point determination is not sharp, that decreases the missiles capacity to strike against hardened targets like missile silos and command bunkers, but if the state uses that weapon for terror r strikes against the civilian targets, it will not need great accuracy.

I don’t know how the North Korea will detonate their nuclear warhead. They probably use the impact, barometric or the time detonators to explode the nuclear warheads. And the problem with that equipment is that I don’t know what kind of security equipment those warheads have.


 But the other problem is, that if some terrorists will get that warhead in their hands, they might build the pollution bomb with that plutonium. They must only explode dynamite in the crushed bite of plutonium, and that will deliver the radioactive material around the area. Or they might able to explode the implosion device if the security is not enough. The problem with those people is, that they will not care about themselves.

The secret of V-2 rocket

Kimmo Huosionmaa

People usually think that German A-4 or V-2 rockets were some kind of ridiculous material, what might only laugh people. But as many people know, the objective of the V-2 program was the mass extermination in Great Britain. The idea was to deliver anthrax bacterium with that weapon. But the program was terminated after V-2 rocket launching sites were captured by the Allied troops. V-2 is a sad story about the case when brilliant scientist put their skills in the hands of dictators. 

The weapon itself was effective against military targets, but that was the great way to terrorize civilians. I think that American military and civilian authorities were able to create their own rocket without Nazi scientists. And an only real reason why American military created “Operation Paperclip” was they wanted to get those scientists from the hands of the Soviet Union. 

That biological weapon was put in the head of that rocket, in the tungsten labs, what were filled with that bacteria. When the V-2 rocket rose above the atmosphere, the rocket would turn back, and barometric explosive will open the head of the missile. After that the rocket would start to circulate rapidly, and after that those lambs were delivered in the large areas. That project was denied because the biological weapon was unable to destroy military equipment, and also the epidemic might be uncontrollable. 

The truth is that project what might cost millions of lives was terminated because the advantage of the bacteria was unable to follow. Also, Germans thought to use  V-2 rockets at the battlefront with nerve gases like sarin. In that solution that nerve agent would put in those tungstens with anthrax, but the project was terminated because the V-2 rockets were too difficult to build and they were too little those things for large-scale operational use. Also, those missiles were so unsharp that all other than mass destruction weapons were ineffective in that missile.  

And the other reasons for that action was that Allied forces were preparing for the situation after WW2. In the German headquarters were men, who wanted to join the United States military, and begin the WW 3 against the Soviet Union. The story of the V-2 rocket is very popular and well known. That weapon had only psychological capacities when it was loaded with that 1000 kilogram warhead. But that weapon was so complicated, that Allied intelligence services believed that weapon was made for carrying the mass destruction purpose. And that mass destruction would be done by gas or some biological weapon. And that might cause that allied would attack the Germany with nuclear weapons.
