Does the Russian military use obsolete equipment in Ukraine?


Ka-52 "Alligator"




I remember that similar claims were within the Afghanistan war. In the early 1980s, many people believed that the Soviet military used obsolete equipment in the Afghan war. And that obsolete equipment explains why Soviet troops had problems in the Afghanistan mountains. But then some films came into the public. And the Helicopters that were in that film were MI-24 "Hind E and F" models. Those helicopters were the newest tools in the Soviet military. 

In the same way, Russian troops used at least Ka-52 "Alligator" helicopters in Ukraine. And that thing tells that at least the part of Russian equipment is the brand new stuff. The thing is that. If there are heavy casualties in the Russian military they should start to use new equipment. If the Russian military uses some obsolete weapons, there must be some reason for that.  

When we are looking at images of the destroyed "Armata" tank we must remember that one destroyed tank doesn't make them all grab. But the only one tank doesn't change the war. When we want to make the analysis of the Ukraine war and the situation there we must remember something that belongs in history. 

Many things can go wrong in modern warfare. But there is one thing that we should remember while we are talking about all so-called "wonder weapons". And that thing is that the number of those things is always very small. When we remember the Nazi-Germany's wonder weapons the biggest mistake in those weapons like missiles and guided bombs as well as in King Tiger tanks was the low production number. 

When somebody talks about things like Russian smart weapons we must remember that those weapons are extremely highly advanced. They require things like computer programs and microchips. And the main question with that kind of stuff is do Russians produce those things? Do they have microchips that can control smart weapons? And did they make the computer programs by using standards that eliminate errors in code lines? 

In the same way, we must realize that some of the newest Russian weapons have low production numbers. There are about 100 "Armata" tanks. And that means those weapons might not exist so many that they can deliver to all troops. The "Armata" tank can be the best in the world. But if it would not participate in battles that thing means nothing.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
