The new hypersonic missiles will install into the Zumwalt-class destroyer USS Michael Monsoor.

USS Zumwalt

All three Zumwalt-class destroyers are getting new and powerful hypersonic missiles.  Those missiles have a speed of Mach 5+. And they have a very long range, says the article in the Eurasian Times. The installation of those new hypersonic missiles means that the advanced 155mm. gun turrets are removed and replaced by hypersonic missile tubes. The details about that modification are in the article below this text. 

The world is waiting for new lightweight and portable super- and hypersonic systems. Military forces can install those hypersonic systems in vehicles like main battle tanks. Or they can even be man-portable. 

The new hypersonic systems can shoot dummy or intelligent ammunition. And they are the most powerful systems in the world. 

Hypersonic systems are not always missiles. They might be things like rail guns. And maybe the next stage in hypersonic weapons is the guided hypersonic ammunition for artillery. Railguns can accelerate artillery grenades to very high speed. And maybe, somebody already tests the scramjet-driven grenades or artillery shells that speed is over Mach 5. 

The railgun technology makes it possible to create a small-caliber, fast-sooting gun that can use against airborne and surface targets. The thing is that the railgun technology makes a standard iron-hearted .50 caliber bullet devastating if its speed rises over Mach 6. The same system can shoot guided ammunition like "intelligent bullets" to the targets. And the railgun systems can shoot even individual persons from extremely long ranges. 

These kinds of systems are the next-generation tools for the military. The railguns can accelerate even regular rifle bullets to a speed that is many times higher than Mach 1. The speed of famous GAU-8 "Avenger" ammunition is Mach 1,5. So if the speed of the bullet is Mach 3- or higher. That thing makes also rifle-caliber guns powerful against at least light armor. 

Nanotechnology, along with new and powerful power sources makes it possible to create lightweight and powerful magnetic systems. Those magnetic accelerators can install also to the silencers of regular rifles. And that thing increases the speed of the bullet very high. If that kind of bullet has a uranium core, that thing gives it the ability to destroy almost all kinds of targets.

Problems with cyberdefense

Problems with cyberdefense

Cyberdefense is a complicated thing, and one of the greatest problems in that area is would the other side of the operation use it's best tools for handling enemy operation. So when some state is under the cyberattack, should it use physical force like bombing the targets, where the cyberattacks come, and in this kind of cases, the attacking computers can be remote-operated, what means that the attackers themselves are not wounded even if the smart weapon hits the target.

But when we are thinking possibility, that some operators would put the malicious tool in the Linux operating system, and that operating system would be used in the tactical systems like missiles and trolling servers. Would the operator uncover that it has access to every system, what is using that operating system, or rather saying what is the scale of the cyber- and other attacks, when that ability should be used?

If some operators can shut down every tactical system of the enemy by destroying the kernel of the operating system, it would cause very big troubles for the enemy offensive. And the other problem or threat is that the numbers in the systems like cannon and smart bomb targeting algorithms would be changed, and the systems would be lost their accuracy.

The one part of the cyberattacks can be cyber sabotage and cyber assassinations. The cyber sabotage can be that the centrifuges of the nuclear enriching process are adjusted wrong, and in the worst scenarios that thing would cause spontaneous fission, and nuclear explosion in the laboratory.

And in some cases, the algorithm that detects the people by their key cards or biometric access data would be turned to the assassination tool. That means when the targeted person would step in the elevator, the break will turn off, and that means the end for that person. This kind of thing might be devastating and horrifying scenarios in the cyber threat.

That kind of thing must be noticed, when the system is planned. And the thing is that that the most vulnerable systems are protected systems, which have the only couple of users. The thing that increases the level of a vulnerability is that the systems are supposed being safe. And there is no public data about the codes, what are making those programs.

If somebody could pass the firewall and have the source codes of the system, that can allow creating a virus, that cannot detect by using a normal firewall or antivirus software. The thing that those systems are located in the secret laboratories, and they are not updated makes them vulnerable, and the personnel that is operating those systems might be highly trained, but they might not experts in the cybersecurity. And if there is no firewall in the laboratory, the infected mobile telephone can slip the malicious software inside those systems.

But when we are looking at the cases, like when Israeli aircraft lost from radar during an air raid to Syria the reason for that is probably not necessary be the cyber attack. The military forces around the world have been tested plasma-shields or so-called echo-radiation, which means that the radar impulses just turn away from the front of attacking aircraft. Plasma ionized gas is more effective for that purpose because it affects every frequency of radio transmitting.

And the target can be found by using laser scanners and other optical sensors. But things like computer viruses are also a very good way to increase the effect of things like radars. The program code can simply install or involve the radar transmitting, and that means that it would give more effect to that system if it can infect targeted things, but if the infection is not successful the radar can use to locate targets.

How to handle cyber?

How to handle cyber?

Cyberdefense is one of the most advanced and newest areas of military, and it is called as the fourth element in the things, that military force must control and handle. The cyberattacks are a new threat in the military strategies, and it can be used alone or with other weapon systems. Cyber attacks against web pages are commonly used for disturbing the business and governmental operations, and they have, of course, brought very much publicity for Eastern operators.

One of the biggest problems in cyber defense is how to detect homepages, which contains fake information, or what is using purely trolling? Of course, the data traffic to those homepages is easy to deny, but the thing is that also homepages, what is containing legal and right information can deny. So because of this, there could be a solution that might collect some data of the devices, which are used to make denial requests.

When people are making reports that some homepages are containing illegal or faked information, artificial intelligence can keep the database, what kind of persons are wanted that homepages are denied. The system could collect the data like the nationality of the user of the device, which is used to make that request. And the things like are the owners of those devices some firms can also save in the database.

That thing would help to focus are some homepages causing embarrassing situations in some specific countries or companies, and that would begin the investigations about what is going on with that homepage. And the data, what this homepage involves can analyze. Sometimes is very easy to recognize the reason, why some information is embarrassing for some actors. But sometimes the reason is somehow hard to notice. In those cases, the question is are the denial petitions made for cheating or some other reasons like covering environmental crimes.

But when we are thinking about the way to make cyberattacks, we must understand that there are many ways to make those things. One is simply the "denial of service" attack against homepages, which are gates to some services. In that case, the server or IP-address is bombed multiple "echo request" or simpler to say "ping" calls, what denies the other transmitting with those homepages.

Those attacks are easy to deny by closing the IP-addresses, where that transmitting comes.  But when we are thinking of the cyberattack from the military actions, the military force would operate in two ways. One is the approximate attacks against some social service and other homepages. Of course, those attacks have a great propaganda value, but that thing might disturb so-called real military and intelligence operations.

If we would make meanless attacks against targets like some culture ministry, we would give the warning to the enemy, and the opposite side might track the servers, which is taking part in the attack. And if we would see that attack is reported in the news, we might notice that we are uncovered. When we are looking at statistics that China and Russia along with Iran are top places in the cyberattacks, that thing might tell something like their intelligence is active and they are willing to make those things.

But it can also tell that those countries have caught many times. When we are thinking about Western Intelligence agencies, we must ask one question: are those operators only using more sophisticated and advanced tools in their operations? That might mean that the Western operators have just not caught from those attacks.

And there is a possibility, that some of those attacks might be done by using remote-controlled computers, which is operated from some other country. The bad relationships with Western nations with those countries might give a shield for regular industrial spies, who might work for private operators for making their missions. But when we are thinking about the cyberdefense, it would be a more complicated thing, what we ever believe.

Problems with memes are that they are passing the defense of the neurons

Problems with memes are that they are passing the defense of the neurons

Memes or faked joke images are manipulating our brains, and the problem is that the image is not just an image. Every image or picture is involving peripheral information, which has a very big effect on human brains. In the link below the text is news about memes, where are a couple of images, what is meant for mocking something. Or actually, two upper photos are meant for that, but those images have also peripheral information, what might not seem very well. In that photo is the image manipulation of the Finnish political leaders.

Massage of this photo could be that "you could also be Amish".  The thing is that in the upper photo is the Amish- or some old-fashion and religious persons, who are looking at very happy. There is a message that if people are members of that kind of community, that would make them wealthy, glad and of course very happy. And that kind of things is dangerous. Many people believe that there is no mean, do people believe in evolution or are they living in some religious community. But then we must realize that those people, who are not believing in evolution are nice targets for far wing politicians.

As we have seen non-educated people are very good targets for agitators, and that thing is the consequence of the ending schools before graduation. If a person has no education, that means that those people are very good targets for agitators, and if somebody says that there is no evolution, that would cause cheat. Or religious people would take their children off the school, because they are learning things, what they are not accepted. That thing causes isolation, and using those societies for getting votes is a good way to get a place in parliament.

The peripheral message of the second image is that Trump is like above everything. And the facial exposure is telling that this man is a skeptic and analyzes information very carefully. The third photo is the photo of long term president of Finland, Urho Kekkonen, who is portrayed as the symbol of the strong leader, and because that man was bald, that image is suitable for some skinhead propaganda. This thing brings connection in the mind that the real man shows for supporting the wise and strong political leadership by cutting hair off.

And then the quote, what you can find from a dictionary if you are not speaking Finnish is meant that the strong leaders have a strong and simple way to act, and if the government doesn't please that means kicking off. In the last image is the image of the painting, where is the fallen soldier, and there might be seen the hidden message, that Finnish soldiers are left alone, and that could be a message for independent defense. This is the thing in memes. They are meant to be fun, but those things are always containing the information, what might be propagandist.
