The problematic relationship between western and Arab nations

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The relationship between western and Arab nations are of course a very interesting thing, what has been in the main role in many books. The bad relationship between western- and Islamic people are from 13th. century, when the pope ordered the Christian people to conquer back the Holy Land and after that, the conflict has been ideological, and this makes it a very complicated thing. The thing, why the western world would not cut the diplomatic relationships and support for Arab nations is, that somebody else would fill that empty thing.

And this "somebody else" is, of course, Russia, but also China is interesting about relationships and weapon selling to those nations, what have very rich oil refineries, and also they have an excellent position in the middle of the air routes in the World, what makes them very attractive place for nuclear weapons, what can used to strike against southern Russia. But the thing, what makes those nations very complicated thing is not actually the location as military bases. This is, of course, more reasons, what makes those nations very influential actors in the global political field.

The great natural resources have taken billions of dollars to the cash of those nations and their leaders. The families, what rules those wealthy states have also very much money, what they can invest in the west. This means that those people should not irritate forever, or they took their billions in some other country. The big money is the reason, why people don't talk about things like bombardments in Yemen, and because the leader of the bombarding countries is Saudi-Arabia, there would not find a western nation, what can be prosecuted by those things, what seems like war crimes.

But again and again, we must understand that even the worst crimes in the war can leave without punishment. The used weapons have been so-called "smart bombs", what are guided by satellite to the target. And the question in the hypothetical court-martial would be that did the pilot know, that the weapon was targeted to the civilian targets.

If the target information sent from some agents on the ground, would the reason for deadly strikes, that they would not know how to use their location devices. In the worst cases, they might have normal GSM-telephones in use, and they might use the telephones GPS, and then send this target data by using text messages, and then the operators would target the bombs by using those messages, the western devices works that they would automatically send that information for bomb operators.

But the thing, what makes this thing quite difficult is that if the GPS is jammed, that makes specifying the location difficult. And in those cases, the GPS-bomb is something else than a precision-guided weapon. The target locators, what is made by using military undercover operations are looking like mobile telephones. The system inside the locator would use the position identifier of the device to get the precise location of the target.

The system uses two pictures, what are taken in the different locations of the target. When the operator targets the system to the target it would take the line to the targeted place, and if the operator works alone must this person move to another point, and take another photo of the target. The system calculates the location of the target by using triangulation lines from those places and the weapon can target to it.

If the team has two devices the targeting happen in seconds by using two persons, that are in different locations. This thing works like old fashion triangular targeter for artillery, but the system is complicated. The locator can use in the normal mobile telephones, and it can have the stealth mode, what makes it thing, what can carry on the streets. The software-based version can use GPS signal also for communication.

But the thing is that they are normal mobile telephones, what can be used in normal communication, and when the secret code would be given, it would work as the military locator. The support team, what aims the bombs would also get images, that the targeting has been happening in the legal targets, but also the text messages can be used to send the target information.

The question is, "is the bomb targeted to its target in purpose or accidentally." And this is the thing, what brings convictions to the operators, and the pilot if this person knows that the target is civilian. But in the civil war, there could be persons with assault rifles and in Arabia, there are many assault rifles even in the neutral hands. And if the targeter would accidentally think that the targeted group is some fighters, they can explain the bombardment by using this argument. Or simply claim, that the person who targeted that weapon have died in combat and nobody can ask questions from the dead person.

Flamethrowers and the inhumane warfare

Flamethrowers are classified as the "inhumane weapon", and they are prohibited to use in war since World War I when they made the most terrifying injuries for the troops in both sides. But the fire is one of the most effective weapons in the world because of humans afraid fire naturally, and this makes this horrifying weapon one of the most effective weapons in history.  Big size heavy flamethrowers were in the key role in the defense and offense in many battles in the WWI.  The weapon was prohibited in the same contract with the chemical weapons.

But this contract was the "dead letter", and in the WWII both axis and allies used flamethrowers in their campaigns, and especially Germans published many pictures about men who were used this weapon. And United States army used that weapon against Japanese in the Pacific campaign. Flamethrowers played a big role in the battle of Iwo Jima and also Germans used that weapon in the Eastern front. German assault engineers got success in battles and the users of the flamethrowers got extra allowances for using that weapon. That weapon was effective against fortresses because the flames kept persons out of the shooting holes and burned the oxygen from the inside when the flames were targeted to bunkers.

Flamethrowers were installed in the Bren or Universal carrier wagons, what called as "Wasp-wagons" and Sherman tanks. Also, Soviet troops equipped their T-34 tanks with flamethrowers.  Originally those weapons used petroleum and diesel oil for making the fire. Those hydrocarbons were sometimes boosted with alcohol or potassium nitrate, and those boosters increased the effect of that weapon by increasing burning temperature.

But after the WWII flamethrowers were strictly prohibited because they were meant for killing people, and the user of that device was not wanted to tell that at home. But both sides used that equipment in Korea, also French and other Europeans have used flamethrowers in the colony wars because those military actions classified as the "police operations", and Indo-China was far away from the Paris. One of the reason, for prohibiting this weapon once again the cisterns, what the user of flamethrower carried in the back was the attractive target for enemy snipers.

This is why that weapon wanted to make safer for the user. The two tanks were used because of the safety of the user, and in another tank would be pure oxygen, what makes almost every material burning, and another was filled normal food oil, what started to burn in pure oxygen. This structure was meant for making flamethrowers safer for their users, who were not very popular but effective part of the military.  In that time those weapons used napalm, and the injuries, what this hydrocarbon made was terrible. So because of psychological reasons this weapon removed from the military arsenal.

But the small number of those weapons remained in operational use against some biological weapons, and flamethrowers seemed an effective way to sterilizing large areas. After that Edgewood arsenal started to create a new type of flamethrowers, what was "marketed" as the "anti-tank weapon". This kind of flamethrowers is using normally acetylene and oxygen combination, what creates the temperature, what is over 3500 degrees Celsius. That temperature melts the tank immediately, and the targeted persons transfer to ash. This kind of weapons is extremely dangerous because they can burn material and cause injuries in the very long range away from home.

Next generation car bomb, what the drone carries, could demolish the entire military base

Lockheed-Martin ARES and the new way to think in the military world have brought the new kind of threat and capacity for airstrikes. The ARES system is meant for carrying for equipment like ammunition and Humwee-cars for troops, but it can also equip with rocket- or missile launchers, and it can be used in airstrikes. That ARES system carries quite large payloads, and that system is capable to carry the nuclear weapons to the targets. In this case, the similar system, what ARES is only taking nuclear weapons in the place, where the cargo is normally taken, and the weapon is ready to use.


But also the conventional strike of that system would be devastating. The thing, what would happen if this kind of systems is in use the remote-control Humwee as the car bomb, what can be dropped as an example near the target, like in the runway, near the bunker of aircraft, what is targeted for strikes. And then the car bomb would be driven in the bunker, and the explosion would be quite devastating. The delivering of that system would happen by using cargo-planes, and if that happens in the middle of an air strike, the delivering of that weapon might leave without notice, and then the results would be horrible.


There are planned to make also the nuclear version of this kind of device. In some simulations, an attacker would use this kind of extraordinary weapon against commanding bunkers. The drone would bring the car, what is equipped with the nuclear detonator near the entrance of the bunker during the airstrike, and then the device would be exploded in the entrance tunnel. In this case, the nuclear weapon would act the way, what nobody expected. That kind of remote-controlled cars and car bombs can cause very bad losses and damages for ground troops if they explode in the wrong place.

Centrifugal gun is the simple but radical weapon system

 Centrifugal gun is easy to install the rotor of the combat helicopter

Centrifugal gun is one of the most remarkable new types of weapons, what might be developing in the military and civil factories. This weapon is basically the rotating disc, and over this layer would be dropped the ball-shape ammunition. So the angle grinder can be changed this weapon quite easily, and in some prisons, it would be effective. The combat helicopters main rotor would be a good place for that weapon, what would be used with helicopters main gun.


Somebody sometimes claims that this weapon would not be effective, because it cannot turn upside down, but the box over the disc can make so tight, and the rotating layer can equip with panels, what allows to shoot the balls in any angle. Those metal balls can actually be bearing hard balls, and they can travel extremely fast because the speed of the ammunition depends on the speed of rotating disc. Centrifuge weapon is very simple but the same way an exotic weapon, what can be very dangerous. It could be extremely small and at the same time effective.


One of the places, where this weapon can be installed is combat helicopters, where centrifuge weapon can be installed to the rotors. In this scenario, the main rotor of the helicopter would be made that there are small tubes inside the wings, where the system would deliver the steel balls. Same way this weapon can be installed to the propeller of the aircraft. This would be used in combat or assassination missions, and it would be suitable equipment for some 007-movie. There is one very big advantage for normal machine guns. Centrifuge-weapon can have more ammunition, and it's silent. This makes it very dangerous if there is electricity available.
