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.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments.  Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape.  We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures.  The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time?  Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger.  The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers.  "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions.  And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object.  Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
