The role of navies in the war against terrorism


Kimmo Huosionmaa

President of Russia, Vladimir Putin has said, that the Russian navy has the great role in the war against terrorism, and this is one of the biggest roles also for other navies. Navy and it ships are in the key role in long-range over-seas operations, where those things can give tactical support for ground forces, deliver and carry equipment and rescue the crews of attack planes if they would shoot down or face the engine failure in those operations. 


In those cases, rescue crews can use naval ships as the base, where those pilots can be taken for getting medical attention and return home. The ships can also work as the safe place for own troops because the enemy cannot surprise those men while resting. But in the case of Russia the protecting the gas tubes, what deliver natural gas to Europe is one of the biggest roles of anti-terrorism troops. Also, offshore oil rigs are probably one of the most vital targets for terrorists.


Those targets must be protected extremely sharp because the systems that are used in the petrochemical industry are attractive targets for the men, who want publicity because they are causing a very prominent effect. And this is the main purpose of the terrorists. They want publicity for their work, and massive explosions guarantee that TV would follow that case. 


One of the reasons, why Putin want that there would not come any problems with the oil and gas delivery is that if Russia could guarantee that the gas deliveries can continue without problems, would that give change to export more gas to Europe, and also connect the policy of Europe more effectively the Russian energy. And that would give weapon in the hands of Russians because if they would not like European policy, they will just stop the gas exports. 


The thing what guarantees the buying of gas from Russia is the cheap price of the energy. But the price must be always paid, and if some political decision is against Russian interests, would that cause that the pressure in the tube would decrease.  And strong nuclear weapon would guarantee, that nobody would threat Russia by the military operation. Energy is a very good way to blackmail other nations for giving in to Russian interests.

The new 3D printers are coin-size systems.

"The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go, like a fastener to repair a wobbly bicycle wheel or a component for a critical medical operation. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, RLE" (Scitech, Tiny Titan: MIT’s Revolutionary Coin-Sized 3D Printer Fits in Your Pocket) Researchers created a 3D printer that is coin-size. That kind of printer can create things like microchips. But it's possible. Those tiny 3D printers can also work in extremely large-size projects. In simplest models, the 3D printers are positioned on tracks. The 3D printer itself is the tool, that can be part of the modular production systems.  There are visions of high-temperature metal printers installed on the gantry cranes. That makes those crane printers that can make even ship-size things. The crane that the printer controls can move back and forth and the printer can move horizontally. This kind of thing can turn the crane into a high-temperature 3D printer, that

Quantum computers and ultra-fast photonic microchips can danger even the most secure communication.

"Quantum computers could pose a major security risk to current communication systems in 12-15 years with their exponentially greater speed and code-breaking ability. (ScitechDaily, Today’s Most-Secure Communications Threatened by Future Quantum Computers) Quantum computers can break entire binary cryptography. And that makes all communication unsecured. That is one of the greatest threats in quantum computing. And this brings the arms race to the quantum age. The quantum computer can create codes that any binary computer can break. But the quantum computer can also break old-fashioned codes. And that makes it an ultimate weapon and sabotage tool.   Quantum computers can change the measurements of the ammunition in factories by changing the system calibration. Or it can delete databases from the opponent's computer systems. This thing can delete all SIM cards from mobile telephones. In peacetime, the hackers that operate using quantum systems can steal the names of the counter-

Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.

  "ZEROe teams powered on the iron pod, the future hydrogen-propulsion system designed for Airbus’ electric concept aircraft." (Intersting Engineering, Airbus's ZEROe: First engine fuel cell powers up for hydrogen flight) Electric power innovations. Fuel cells in aircraft and solar panels over Arizona canal.  Airbus Zero is a testbed for fuel cells that are used in commercial aircraft. The problem with aircraft is always noise and pollution. If the aircraft uses electric engines. That decreases noise levels and cleans the air, especially around airfields. Lightweight solar panels that can be installed on the wings and body of aircraft can give electricity to electric engines. And they can extend an aircraft's operational range.   The thing that makes this kind of system interesting is that the "flying cars" or cheap VTOL aircraft can use them as a power source. The hydrogen power cells can give energy to electric aircraft at night time. And that makes them m
