About conflicts in Middle-East and use of under-age combatants

One very traumatic thing in the Middle-East conflict is using children as soldiers in those conflicts. When ISIS or some other terrorist organization would deliver their propaganda, they introduce under-age persons, who are armed with assault rifles. And that version is probably in use at another side. The sultan's personal soldiers, Janissary have chosen in very young age, in Ottoman's Empire, and those warriors tradition have been transferred to modern Emir's special forces in Oman and other Middle-East countries.


There is one very interesting transformation about the Janissary training. The Sultan of Turkey claimed to those persons, that their parents were Christians, who have delivered their children as slaves to Sultan. That guaranteed the loyalty and hate against Christianity of those troops, what was known as their fanaticism and brave in the battle. The modern version of that political training could be that there would be that the children whose parents have been dead claimed that the terrorists or Islamic terrorists have caused the death of those persons, and that can cause hate for rest of that child's life.


Hate makes them the good target for the special forces recruiters, and if the death caused by the terrorist attack, would that increase the hate. In this version, the real reason for the death of those parents could be driven in drunk or overdose of heroin. The story, what will be told about that incident could motivate that person to take recruiting in some special units or mercenary companies could be surer than without that kind of motivator.  Have you ever thought that maybe somebody would guide the laser-guided bombs against civilians on purpose?


One of the most important purposes of showing child combatants is provoking the opponent to open the fire against targets, where are children. And then introducing those victims, would that terrorist organization want to get people sympathized their side. Smart weapons are very effective against tanks and hardened shelters. The use of those weapons is that the laser-guided bombs would be pointed to target, what is marked by the laser designator. The designator can be installed to the aircraft or it can use the operator, who might sit on the ground and point the laser designator to the target.


That person can be the regular combatant, special forces operator or agent. The use of those weapons has become more common because they give aircraft very effective tank busting capacity, and they help avoid the civilian casualties. But if the laser-guided weapon is targeted to the civilians, would the result be more deadly than making this strike by normal free-fall bombs. Sometimes smart weapons are criticized because they allow the assassination missions, where is used aircraft.



But the answer to critics has been that behind it is Russia or the Soviet Union, what wants to deny those bombs because they danger the tank-base tactics. But that might be only the propaganda of the CIA. And today is created very small size (1-10 kg) guided bombs, what can destroy any tank or cannon on the ground. And they can be used by F-15 or other fast attack aircraft, and they are created to replace cluster bombs in those anti-tank missions.

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
