Visions of bright future

Picture I http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/mig-105-spiral-soviet-miniature-shuttle.html Kimmo Huosionmaa The Mikoyan-Gurevich design bureau made tests in 1980's with very small size space-shuttle, what became famous, when some Australian P-3 "Orion" took the picture of this thing, what was mentioned as the "Soviet space fighter". The Soviet authorities claimed that the Soviet Union would not develop space shuttles, but the pictures, what are taken from the "Plesetsk-cosmodrome" have been shown something else. Here I must mention, that there were two shuttle programs in the Soviet Union. Another one was "Buran" the large spacecraft, what had the size like American space shuttle. That program shut down after a couple of tests and the Western intelligence believed, the purpose of that miniature space shuttle were military, and it would be developed for destroying other spacecraft. There were also some other analyzes, ...

(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...

(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 mis...

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 ca...

(Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Hypersonic missile or cruise missile (HCM) is the new type of weapon, what uses technology that allows the weapon glide to the ground with the extremely high speed with gentle incoming trajectory. This would give the very big challenge for the defense, what must react this threat only in a couple of seconds. The launching of those extremely fast weapons may be done by submarines, surface warships or by aircraft. This weapon is the new type of solution for first strike missions. Hypersonic cruise missiles are developed in many nations. The limitations of this kind of weapon are very difficult because they don't need warheads. And the kinetic energy what is boosted with microwaves is the devastating combination for aircraft carriers. The microwave-transmitter can installed to the nose of those missiles, and it can be got the necessary electric power from windmill turbogenerators. The extremely high speed would give very powerful microwaves....
