The latest on the Mechanics of War

I was reading the latest news on the weapons of war and I am so flabbergasted on the capability when it comes to its power on destruction. But what bothers me most is why they even report it when in fact this should be as secretive as it should be?



Anyways below is a report written by Jeffrey Lin and Peter Singer on Popular Science Magazine December 2014.



A most intriguing development on the world's crazy attempt to annihilate human beings.


HGV - unmanned hypersonic glide vehicle.

Countries testing them? China and US

Capabilities? Capable of traveling faster than 10X the speed of sound- MACH 25 or 16,000 miles per hour.

When is expected to be operational? 2019


"If weaponized HGVs could fly as far as intercontinental ballistic missiles (more than 3,500 miles) but strike with greater accuracy. Since the gliders don't fly in a predictable parabolic arc like ballistic missiles do, they would be exceedingly difficult to shoot down with traditional missile defenses. And their speed would make possible a whole new pace of war. For example, upon discovering the location of a terrorist leader in Syria, and HGV fired from US army base in Western Europe could hit the target in half an hour."


I am kind of like what is this world getting into? So we can be evaporized fast in the clouds?

And most importantly, please don't be caught suspected as a terrorist?

Thank you all for your reads and comments.

Well yeah that last advice is hard. It is enough for them to send you an anonymous email anywhere and kaching, a computer logs that you are a contact and probable associate of..

Heaven help you if you write back because now you are a peson who two way communicates with X.

Maybe he (or she) writes back and sends a photo. Shades of Steganography. It doesn't mean anything they can't pick out the hidden message. Clearly they just lack the key, but with enough toe roasting and maybe some water boarding, someday someone will give them the code key, but for now the photo is evidence you two are planning something.. And so it goes.

Why make it secret? China working on it too. Who then would we be keeping it secret from? Our own people?

Shooting down missiles with other missiles is so yesterday. Negatively charged pulsed particle beams or terawatt lasers working at the speed of light would zap it. Why does it have to be launched? Why not just keep a bunch of them in orbit? Tell the world they are weather balloons or satellites. The media will buy that. Hmm, why stop there? Why not have some of them designed to knock out the other person's satellites? Going further, why not orbit the beam weapons? As the Earth turns, vaporize what is below..
If that's what they're telling about, you can be certain there are MUCH more devastating stuff they're NOT telling about! hmmm

For a REAL mind blower, search Dr. Judy Wood. wow

Mic I kind of think that way, too. An account that you nor I, of the world for that matter will get caught surprised yet already dead.
Like a whole new Nagasaki and Hiroshima Mic only this time, billions of mankind if not the whole human race is wiped out?
wave We have had the capability to destroy ourselves for
decades, but we have not, because of one thing, mutually
assured destruction. The super powers hold this balance.
The deterrent is the Nuclear Submarine force that can be
parked off of your coastline without even knowing it.
That is why conflicts so far has been without Nukes.
I am thankful cooler heads prevailed.cheers
LoL, we will of course, for the sake of continued funding if nothing else, ignore that triad leg is probably no longer invisible now that all big players have magnetometers in orbit. This (to reduce the magnetic signature) was one of the reasons the Soviet Alfa class submarine's hull was made of expensive Titanium, but those are all retired now, and there officially is no more Cold War so every one went back to building pressure hulls made of good old steel.

Submarines contain a lot of metal. Pass that much metal through water and it will manifest it's presence as a disruption in the Earth's natural magnetic field. I wouldn't expect it to be too far fetched to speculate the big boys look for such disruptions in our oceans. Further speculation on my part would involve their looking at such records from a decade or three ago done over land, then comparing the changes found in last week's measurements and thereby fairly accurately pinpointing probable new underground installations that probably also have a lot of metal down there.
Ken I have such a little faith on the lack of common sense when it comes to mass destruction. But....
Seems like Pedal made the assumption of such an opposite. I am losing all my hope in such a disposition. Using of the good old balance of power? Nahhhh. I'm not buying it.
Bunbun, wow never can see how your theory works without a bigger side effects? How scary the number you presented.
There is also the issue of at least one country developing (briefly) an attitude that if you can only have two children, it is better they both be male. LoL for not thinking 20 years down the road and the social problems that can cause.
I believe China is the country you're talking about Ken? What a control.
That my point Ken. It work when too many women. It a big problem with it too many men! Unless they like the boy on boy love feeling.
Ken, Lindsey, that the old China you read about. We have toilet and bath now in new Chinaconversing
@ lindsyjones - wave ... If they are telling us about a weapon it means that it is already in their asenal (ready for use) and other countries already know about it.

It's the weapons that are still 'top secret' that are the main worry... military technology is about 10 years ahead of what they actually tell us about.... blues

.... moping comfort wine
toilet and bath???? Why you mention them?

Not enough women there soon. Their population will soon shrink big time. Maybe that was the plan all along?
Frightening stuff. Not only do we face the prospect of total annihilation but we've also lost the opportunity for cleansing war.
How are we to clean up the gene pool and reduce societal decadence without a good war here and there?

The people of the future will be the worst Human Beings there ever was, they will make even us today look like Socrates and Mother Teresa.
A few nights ago I dreamed the nukes started falling. I haven't had that dream since just after the Cuban missile crisis.

Okay, that didn't work well. Let us try something else, something more light hearted and upbeat.

Should I comment before you regret your impersonations? I think you are the same person who wanted to kill a person hundred times.
Iotaoo Who's impersonating?

I respect her, rather as a citation. But she was distracted for some reasons best known to her.
And my learned friend,.....to cut the story short. be it my beloved daughter.....my reaction would be the same....if not convinced?
I don't mean....if she, any way answerable, to any.....but questionable she is.
Am I wrong Mr. Ken?
Hello SR,

Interesting blog....besides war, there are so many other things out there that could destroy our world...or what is on it.

I still take the standpoint, what can we do about it? At this moment, I do not think there is much we can do. So...I am going to focus my attention more on positive things. grin

But...it is always nice to have insight on the latest in the news.

Sorry guys I was having a flu and not feeling too good. I will try to get back with you tomorrow.
Thanks all for your response on this very sensitive blog and I commend your video Ken, not as an option to save our humanity but as a point strong and powerful to look at what happens on any of these possibilities.

Thanks. I hope we all see that this is not a joke anymore.
Now it is my turn to tell as you as I used to with my students in the University. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect, except GOD, at least that is how I believe, and I do make a lot, if comes a time when that mistake will lead me to a due and justified punishment, I will face it and learn. But I will never leave your callous comments unanswered.

And I was a little bit carried away with my remorse for that criminal because of the media. But now I will repeat, I vote and support my judicial system in my country for the KILLING OF THOSE WHO COMMITTED CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AFTER A VERY SERIOUS AND COMPETENT JUDICIOUS PROCESS OF LITIGATION.

Thank you all for your reads. I will respond to all who took their time to comment on this very sensitive blog.
Hans yes indeed, I am aware of the sensitivity of timing for the public to know. So it is really scary what we can not know that might happen. The bliss of ignorance, I guess sometimes work once in a while.
Johnny, yes indeed, sometimes there are things we can but more so there are more things we can't do.

I like that, being focused on the positive side.

Thanks Johnny

SR
Hello Obs, as usual your intricate and substantial additions to my blog are truly appreciated. Now you think we'll be regarded as those great people? That means they will not be worthy of being called humans obs. Scary...
Post that is so silly. And never been fan of cartoons by the way. But message noted.
After reading all the comments Bunbun, I think I'll now have to agree with you.
