Differences with the United States and Soviet military.

Cold war armies were many differences in the comparison to modern armies or military forces. The Soviet military believed the ordinary man's skills and ability to make military maneuvers. And the production of the Soviet army was the so-called general soldier, who had the ability to operate any kind of systems. Bad rumors say that the Soviet Union used the military forces also for threat, that if somebody said something against the political system, would that person called to military refreshing, where that person would be informed, that it would be wrong to criticize the political system of the Soviet Union and other communist countries. I sometimes write about communist block armies, because they are made with the same format with Soviet military forces.


The United States military forces believed in professional military force, and that have caused critics against that institution. There is claimed, that those professional military men are spending all of their life for practicing killing techniques, what makes them extremely dangerous. But the defenders of professional military forces are asking: "what else must the military men be than dangerous?". The purpose of the military is to cause fear in the mind of the enemy.


This supports the model of professional military men. And of course, the use of robots in the combat zone is supported by avoiding own losses. Robots are good warriors because they would not make anything, what operators are not allowed them to do. The robot operators would not need hand-to-hand combat skills for accomplishing their missions and that's why those persons are safer than some green berets. The loss of robots is very easy to tolerate, and nobody even notices if some drones are shot down. If the human pilot would be shot down, will all world know about it, and that person could tell something, what is classified. But robots would not know anything if they are destroyed. And that's why those systems are so high in the western military shopping lists.



 The tactics were different in both sides of the Iron curtain. Soviet tactics were simple frontal assaults where were used tanks in the massive formations and massive firepower against the enemy and that tactics were effective against more technical but outnumbered German army in the Second World war. But the problem with that tactics was great losses. United States military believed smaller groups movements by using helicopters.


The United States military was more technical and uses more complicated tactics against the enemy, but that would save men at least in the limited conflicts. The philosophy of the Soviet army was, that the men were recruited for a couple of years, and then they were released for civil works. The United States military used professional and voluntary troops, what was able to operate in the overseas situation, and those voluntary men were excellent fighters, but the problem was that they were not released for other works.


Professional soldiers lose contact with the normal life, but they are easier to send far away from home for the military actions. There are good points for supporting both sides of military training. When we are thinking about the technical stuff, what the military forces were got in the United States, the mission of that equipment is to make those forces capable of highly mobile operations, where the helicopters and aircraft would replace tanks and artillery. The problem with frontal assault tactics is the high number of own casualties, what are seen in many combats, where the communist army have taken apart.


When we are thinking about the long-term war between the nations, that would be hard to understand, that the long-term wars are the good thing only for the commanders of the armies. The problem with that kind of actions is, that the commanders would be untouchable in the long-term conflict. And this is the reason, why the United States created nuclear weapons.  Those weapons allowed to stop the conflicts very fast, and that was the reason, why also the Soviet Union made their first nuclear weapon in 1947. That weapon was worked perfect cover for Kremlin and other governments.


The user of nuclear weapons would not need very much training, and this is the reason for creating the ballistic missiles. When we are thinking about the Soviet political system, that nation would stand better in the long-term war. But the USA:s tactics was, that if the Soviet Union would crush the defense of NATO, the use of nuclear weapons would be possible. And every democratic state is talking about defense forces. Attack forces are the term, what is used for communists armies. Many things were secret in the Cold War military forces, and there were made many experiments, what are not mentioned.


But when we are talking about the military equipment or toys, we must remember the wisdom of some admiral. I don't remember was that person Jellicoe during the First World War, but the thing goes like this: "if the equipment is bad, and the ships would be sunk in the battles, it would be better to stay in the harbor". Or something like that went the philosophy of that admiral. The Soviet side was not well known about open information about military forces and in that country, and even the factories were prohibited to photograph from outside.



And that tells something about how open that nation was in the time of Cold War. Of course, AK-47 was the better concept than M-16 in the Vietnam War, and the U.S military used too many toys. But if the bombers would always send on one way trip in the war, would that also mean something. And when we are thinking about this kind of situation, that other side of the conflict would consume the conventional forces, would that drive the conflict to the point, where the use of nuclear weapons would be possible.


When we are talking about the economy and its relationship with the military, we must concern that democratic nation would not get any equipment for free. Every worker must get the salaries, and if we would think that the use of political prisoners in the production of military equipment, that would make the work cheap, but are those products actually so branded, that they could use in the real battleground.



The problem with prison work is always sabotage and the poor brand, what was one reason for the collapse of Germany in the 1940's. So every military product of German army was good on paper, but the practical apps were far away, what they should be. This is one problem with undemocratic countries. The workers have the bad motives and the equipment would be made with spoil, and that would make them even dangerous in the real situation.

Deep blue dune found on Mars

Picture I

http://kimmontaidearvioita.blogspot.com/p/deep-blue-dune-found-on-mars.html

Kimmo Huosionmaa

NASA:s probe has been found deep blue dunes on Mars-planet and those dunes might be the Copper sulphate , what might involve the water in the crystals, what means that water might be used in the water supply for the Mars flight. Those dunes are looking exciting, even without the crystal water, and they are marks, that sometimes there is been oxygen in the atmosphere of that planet. But as we know this would not mean anything, and if we want to know about the life of this planet, we must search the fossils of the bacteria much more intensive and they should find in the larger area, that behind one rock.


If there would be found the fossils only in the one rock, that means that those bacteria have come from somewhere else. What means that the origin of these bacteria is not Mars. And in this case, we should investigate the DNA or genomes of those fossils. If those fossils are from Earth, what means that their genomes are similar with the cyanobacteria on Earth, there would be some reason, why those bacteria are found on Mars.


And one reason could be that somebody has made secret spaceflight to Mars or those drones, what are send to that planet were not sterilized soundly. Or some meteorite would be transferred those bacteria to the Red Planet. Here is one question, what I sometimes wonder, and that is, what has been happened to the parachutes of the probes, what are sent to that planet? Or have some Mars-rover took any pictures of landed probes like Viking or Soviet Mars probes.


Those pictures would be great to see, and when we are thinking about the high rate of failures of those probes, we might get answers, why those probes send data only less than a minute from the surface of that planet? Soviet scientists tried to send the Mars-rover to that planet, but that was the failure. And as you might see from the link below, there are very much failures in the Mars missions, and the reason for that would be nice to find out.


There have been rumors, that somebody would sabotage the missions to Mars on purpose, but another question is, why would somebody do those things.  But as you see the list of those missions, many of them have faced the fate in failures, and the data would not be been get from those flights. And why there are no pictures of other probes or parachutes in the net? Those questions are very interesting things.

The secrets of the state are big thing even in the Soviet Union

The secrecy feeds rumors, and this is true even in the Soviet Union. This text is not based on any trusted source. It is meant as the thinking about the secrets, and as you might know, we ever find out the truth about claimed "secret spaceflights". The documents of those flights might be destroyed by KGB, and what we must consider before we even start to read this text is, that if somebody would fail in the space program in front of the politburo, the results would be terrible for that person.


And that's the reason, why somebody claims that there were one or even three cosmonauts before Yuri Gagarin, who took honor about being the first man in space. When we are looking at the life of Gagarin in the honor and his death, we must think that maybe that cosmonaut committed suicide. Maybe he could not stand the thing, that some other man or woman was sacrificed before him. Maybe Gagarin was chosen to tell the lies for international press because he was easy to silent. Here I claim that if this rumor about cosmonaut, who fly before Gagarin were true, Gagarin would not know anything about it. And in this case, the system of the Soviet Union made the lie, and Gagarin was innocent.


Or maybe Koroljov or some other chief of the program send the cosmonaut without the permission to the orbiter, and then happened the accident. The story about lost cosmonauts is only one conspiracy theory. And there is no evidence that they even existed. This hypothetical flight might be some kind of ballistic jump, what supposed took only a couple of minutes, and then something went wrong. Maybe the heat shield was the wreck and the spacecraft would burn.


Sometimes I have thought that Koroljov might promise to that person, that this cosmonaut would make another flight in public, but then the person would be changed. That way Gagarin was easier to control. But we don't actually know are those "lost cosmonauts" true. Or is some cosmonaut disappeared in the holiday? But I believe that there were many accidents what was not able to talk. And maybe this accident happened during some normal test flight. I don't know how long this hypothetical space flight might be, but it would be a ballistic jump, and then something bad has happened.

The secrets of the Soviet Union are a big thing, and there have been rumors about lost cosmonauts, who were lost during their missions. Soviet way to hide their secrets is legendary, and there were many things, what should be explained. One of the things is the recording, where the female cosmonaut talks with ground crew and that record seems very rare, and nobody still knows what was going on in that spacecraft. The record seems like adult entertainment, and it is very untypical in that situation.

I sometimes am played with thinking, that what if some very important member of Soviet military technology or some other job would steal the space capsule and move to the United States. This theory might seem very rare, and I think this as the playing with ideas or thoughts. In this idea, some very important engineer or scientist would go in some Soviet biological research capsule and then jump to the states.

This is a very good idea for some book, but I don’t actually believe it myself. One of the mysteries of that nation hangs over despotic leader  Joseph Stalin. But when we are talking about secrets of Soviet Union, we must know little bit psychology. One of the most remarkable thoughts is that Joseph Stalin was afraid of something. I don’t know if this true, but when I wrote this thing, I asked myself “how acts person, who afraid something?”.


A person who scares something might want to be with somebody all the time. If some person scares something personal, this person probably wants to work all night. The fear is easier to handle in the daylight. Anthropologists have explained that every person in human race afraid dark somehow. Reason for this is that the animals, what are dangerous for the human would hunt in the night.


If this natural fear is connected with another fear, would that cause the situation, the person doesn’t dare to be alone in a single minute. Those persons afraid the dark, because another thing that this person afraid rises psychological pressure in the mind of that person, and it might seem like fear of the night. So if Stalin was afraid of something, would that cause the situation, where he would work all night long.


But this man had enemies because those 20 000 000 dead Soviet citizens had friends and family members who wanted to revenge the Stalin. They might be the reason, why this notorious dictator was working all night long. Or that might be the reason, that Stalin drinks too much coffee. Who knows the truth, but if the person is very hated, this might cause the fear reaction.

Strange painting from the medieval age might innovate the engineers to build the most modern Mars probe.

Picture 1

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above the text is the medieval picture of the ”headless man”. There are many strange pictures about this creature, and the reason why those pictures have been painted is the mystery. Many of those pictures show that those strange creatures were some kind of kind creatures, or in those pictures will not find any violence, what was very common in the medieval art.


Those headless creatures seem very kindly, and they seem to salute the knights by raising their hands. This is the very strange thing because those creatures must be made by the devil, and that would be the reason, why rendezvous with those creatures should automatically cause the fight between the good knights and the dark people, the headless demons. But why those creatures are not painted like demons? This is quite interesting theories about that.

Picture 2

Some people believe that those creatures meant the handicapped persons, who were helpless and harmless against other personal attacks. And this could be the reason, why the violence against those creatures would not be allowed. In some theories,  the Soviet engineers took the model from this picture, when they created the next generation Mars-lander (Picture 2).


That lander has the hat like this creature has, and it will be pushed open when this lander comes to the Martian atmosphere. This would be only the coincidence, but that would be an interesting thought, that the most modern technological company took the model from some medieval picture. And probably those headless people have given the innovation in some Sci-Fi series robots, like ”Battle Star Galactica” Cylons.

The missing Argentinian submarine is probably in the critical trouble and writing for other things about missing submarine cases.

There is happened something, what can happen in the movies. The Argentinian Navy has lost its submarine. The problem of this situation is that the waters near Argentina are very deep, and if the submarine will sink outside the continental shelf, the pressure will break the core of the submarine very fast. But the disappearing of the patrolling submarine a situation what is not often seen.


The only couple of submarines have been lost in the history. almost all of them have been found by oceanologists and other navies. The most well-known case, when submarine has been lost and found by another navy, was the case when CIA raised the code-radios and other equipment of the sunken Soviet Golf-class diesel-electric ballistic missile submarine near Hawaii islands in 1974. There are rumors that also those missiles of that submarine were also taken hands to the CIA or U.S NAVY.

 That kind of things is very dangerous for the national security because that might able to get unauthorized personnel to take the unregistered nuclear weapon to the country. The US NAVY has lost one nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Scorpion (SSN 589) what have been completely lost in the year 1968. And other was USS Thresher (SSN 593) in 1963, what wreck has been found. In the end of the text is the list of missing submarines around the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Azorian


But of course, there are rumors that some Soviet Submarines have been lost in the sea, and nobody ever sees those men. The secrecy policy of the Soviet Union feed those rumors, and I hope those rumors are not true. But in the real world, the isolation of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster had the security reasons, what everybody might understand. If some terrorist will get the sand or some other dust from that polluted area, this person could be dangerous. But when we are talking about submarines, there were many problems with the submarines in 1950's.


And one case what came to the light was the test, where the Soviet navy tested the closed cycle diesel motors with the submarine. The accident caused poor quality of the welding work and those exhaust tubes were broken, and the carbon monoxide polluted all the space of that submarine. Closed cycle diesel motor means the motor, what recycles the exhaust gasses thru the active carbon filters. That technology allows the submarine to dive underwater without snorkel-systems.


But when we are talking about losses of the submarines, we must understand that the best information of those accidents was the opened Soviet archives. The collapse of the Soviet Union opened those achievements for the short period. And there are rumors that even nuclear weapons have been lost in those accidents, what have been hired behind the Iron Curtain. But the same information about western submarines is behind the archives what are hidden in the Defence departments basements. Or they have been deleted for secrecy of the nuclear weapons.

Why political atmosphere in Russia is changing?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Vladimir Putin will continue as the president of Russia if he wants. But that state will change, because that will be the end of something that have stamped all Putin's presidential work. Putin has lost contact with young people, and if he plays a role as an elder and wiser man than another person, he will go far away from young people. People are getting older and they don't want to get back past. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1992 and after that was time of political and economic disaster when societies were unstable.

That caused the rise of Putin, and after drunk Boris Jeltsin, he was better than people could even thin for a ruler of that country. Bad social situation and chaotic nation society will help that kind of man to rise a leader for the country. Those are things what makes people want to get strong leaders, and that is, of course, bad for democracy. But when the situation of state will become calm people begin to want more ways to make the influence of highest level of political control. Putin's idea of his work was that he will put down open corruption and open criminal activities.


But there was silent corruption inside government. Russian laws are very authoritative and that's why the democratic surveillance of government is almost impossible. If newspaper men will write against Kremlin will they will get troubles. But as we see the glove of secret police will slip from society. Russia goes to democracy sooner or later, but we must understand that state ever been real democracy, and that's why bringing democracy to that country will take longer than other East European states.


The reason of changing a political atmosphere in Russia is that people's attitudes are changing. People who saw the Soviet Union are now about 40's and that means at younger people have found new interests than military service. In Putin's time, Russia has been at two wars which didn't go so good as Putin probably hopes. And before those actions against Georgia and Ukraine was Groznyi, what destroyed totally when Russian army attacked against that rebellious city.


Russian own artillery made more damages than any terrorist organization ever could make. And the same style begins in Syria. That's why some people think that Russian military is leaning only for nuclear weapons.  Truth is that wars what Putin began went very bad because his military couldn't neutralize any targets without causing massive damages to infrastructure. Putin rose very masculine militarism as a stamp of Russia, but I think that those special forces kickboxing and other aggressive training methods make those troops very unwanted service places for many young people.


They just want to go to the army and came back as normal servicemen around the world. And younger people don't even know what was the Soviet Union. Putin was born in 1952, and he is now 65. So he will be an old man. His career as the president of Russia will over sooner or later, and if some 18 years old young people look, Putin, he will look like the grandpa. And for them will sooner or later time to elect the younger man as the leader of Russia.
