What is so special with Russian relationship with nuclear weapons?

We always read stories about Russian new nuclear weapons, and of course, we must notice, that Russian military forces have the very strong relationship with those weapons. Nuclear weapons give attention to every nation, what have those weapons, and they are the good shield for every state. And at the same time, we might wonder, why Russian government doesn't even try to introduce a single defensive nuclear weapon?


Of course we can say, that offensive attack against enemy military forces is the best defense, but then we must consider, that attacking against other nations is always against international law, and making that with high power nuclear weapons causes very much suffering and pain in targeted states, where millions of people would die in those attacks. But why Russia always develops that kind of weapons, what uses megaton size nuclear warheads?



One of the reasons for that is sometimes mentioned, that Russian conventional strike capacity is not so good that NATO has. There are own problems with making GPS-guided bombs and missiles, what allows airplanes to close the target in free angle, and that satellite-guided ammunition is "fire and forgets"-type munitions. Same way some of the equipment of Russian military are very old, and there might be problems in their tolerance. I mean that any nuclear reactor is not outlasted forever.


But there could be more problems in the military technology, what is not mentioned. The Russian military has problems to get computer programs and electronic components, what is needed for high-tech military systems like drones. And the attitudes of the old fashion generals and admirals makes problematic to make new kind of intelligent military technology in the hands of the Russian military. Those generals believe the power of tanks and artillery, with massive firepower. The result of that is seen in Syria, where Russian bombardment destroyed over 80% of infrastructure. That bombardment was effective against the infrastructure of targeted cities, but the destruction was very massive. And the use of firepower was similar as in Grozny, where the use of massive firepower caused more damages than any terrorist organization could ever make.


This is the problem with the Russian military. When they would destroy entire cities, they would not able to take DNA and other samples from ruins, what would help to track terrorists, and maybe some members of terrorist organizations could slip off those areas claiming that they were dead. But this is only thinking about problems about using massive firepower in the urban area. And maybe some Nazis could slip off the Berlin because they were claimed that they were dead.


Maybe some of them would ever found because their bodies were exploded in pieces in the bombardment of Red Army artillery.  The main problem of the Russian military is the very huge size of that country, and this has maybe caused that many wars have been canceled for that reason. In Russia is about 146 million people, that means there is very small population if that is compiling with the size of that country. And that nation has many neighbors, what of course wants to take part of Russian natural wealthiness like oil and metals. This means that if the Russian military would go in the full-scale operations in Europe, some other country could seize this hypothetical situation and attack against Russia, would that state need nuclear weapons for protecting itself.


The Russian military has the problem, that if some man fights in the European area, that same man cannot protect Russian borders in the Far East. And that is, of course, the very good break for military operations in European territory. And we must know that Russia is the nation with nuclear weapons, and we must live with that thing. There is also very much natural resources like gas, what Russia wants to sell to the West, and that makes the relationship with that nation very complicated, and many political leaders wants to forget the situation in Ukraine, because that makes problematic to buy gas from Russia, and if the Russian gas would be used in European power plants, gives that  possibility for Russia to blackmail European countries, by cutting gas deliveries, if some nations policy doesn't please Russian leaders. This means that if some leaders of European Union talks against Russia, would the pressure in the gas tube decreased, and that would be the good method for controlling the economy in another country by using the non-violent method.


The reason for decreasing gas-pressure could be explained as the service of the gas tube. And that would be one method to give pressure for European countries to understand that Russia is the superpower and other nations should understand that. And nuclear weapons are very big status in International politics and good shield against military aggression against that nation. They would raise the tolerance limit for Russian actions extreme high, and for the same reason, many other nations have to get those weapons because they are giving better position in the international field of diplomatic talking.

New AI-based operating systems revolutionize drone technology.

"University of Missouri researchers are advancing drone autonomy using AI, focusing on navigation and environmental interaction without GPS reliance. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, AI Unleashed: Revolutionizing Autonomous Drone Navigation) The GPS is an effective navigation system. But the problem is, how to operate that system when somebody jams it? The GPS is a problematic system. Its signal is quite easy to cut. And otherwise, if the enemy gets the GPS systems in their hands, they can get GPS frequencies. That helps to make the jammer algorithms against those drones. The simple GPS is a very vulnerable thing.  Done swarms are effective tools when researchers want to control large areas. The drone swarm's power base is in a non-centralized calculation methodology. In that model, drones share their CPU power with other swarm members. This structure allows us to drive complicated AI-based solutions. And in drone swarms, the swarm operates as an entirety. That ca

Hydrogen is one of the most promising aircraft fuels.

Aircraft can use hydrogen in fuel cells. Fuel cells can give electricity to the electric engines that rotate propellers. Or they can give electricity to electric jet engines. In electric jet engines. Electric arcs heat air, and the expansion of air or some propellant pushes aircraft forward. Or, the aircraft can use hydrogen in its turbines or some more exotic engines like ramjets. Aircraft companies like Airbus and some other aircraft manufacturers test hydrogen as the turbine fuel.  Hydrogen is one of the most interesting fuels for next-generation aircraft that travel faster than ever. Hydrogen fuel is the key element in the new scramjet and ramjet-driven aircraft. Futuristic hypersonic systems can reach speeds over Mach 20.  Today the safe top speed of those aircraft that use air-breathe hypersonic aircraft is about Mach 5-6.   Hydrogen is easy to get, and the way to produce hydrogen determines how ecological that fuel can be. The electrolytic systems require electricity, and electr

The neuroscientists get a new tool, the 1400 terabyte model of human brains.

"Six layers of excitatory neurons color-coded by depth. Credit: Google Research and Lichtman Lab" (SciteechDaily, Harvard and Google Neuroscience Breakthrough: Intricately Detailed 1,400 Terabyte 3D Brain Map) Harvard and Google created the first comprehensive model of human brains. The new computer model consists of 1400 terabytes of data. That thing would be the model. That consists comprehensive dataset about axons and their connections. And that model is the path to the new models or the human brain's digital twins.  The digital twin of human brains can mean the AI-based digital model. That consists of data about the blood vessels and neural connections. However, the more advanced models can simulate electric and chemical interactions in the human brain.  This project was impossible without AI. That can collect the dataset for that model. The human brain is one of the most complicated structures and interactions between neurotransmitters, axons, and the electrochemica
