How good are Russian tanks and military anyway?



If "Pravda" reports that there are over 25 000 killed Russian troops in the Ukraine war. There must be many other killed combatants like mercenaries who are not reported. The Russian army calls mercenaries from Northern Africa and other friendly countries. That thing, allows them to hide some part of their losses in the war. 

Modern warfare is very technical, and the use of advanced technology means that there are lots of places, where can be errors. Even if something works perfectly in simulations and training there could be a difference in real situations. In modern high-tech, only one connector that is not connected properly the entire system can fail. The active protection systems must be working as they should. 

And if there is some kind of errors in computers, sensors, or computer programs the system would not work correctly. Then we can think about the tanks and other equipment by using the questions. What that equipment should be? What have they been in training and exercises? And then the final and the most important question is: are all product series made with the same accuracy and qualification standards as the tanks and systems that are reserved for Putin's favorite commanders. 

The thing in Russian tanks and other military systems is that when we are reading their technical analysis those systems would be the best in the World. But then we can see what happens in Ukraine. There are lots of destroyed tanks. Maybe the destruction of one "Armata" tank doesn't make them fail. 

But the fact is that there is something that destroys the Russian tanks in Ukraine. Is that thing something between the steering wheel and backrest? Are the Russian troops lacking training? Or did somebody forget to tell them how they should do that equipment? Or did somebody tell them that their tank is immune against all possible ammunition? 

Is that thing the problem with tactics? If we think that the thing that causes losses is tactics, why Russians will not change their tactics? When we are looking at things like the Ex-CIA chief's testimony about Putin's need to win the war in Ukraine we must remember one thing. In Ukraine are fighting the most trained troops. And if the losses of that kind of troops are heavy they are hard to replace. Those troops are the most loyal staff in the Russian military. 

And without them, Putin loses part of his authority. Those highly trained military staffs are the tool that Putin affects police and paramilitary troops. If the police will not smash demonstrations. Putin sends that professional military personnel to that mission. But things like raping, other kinds of war crimes, robberies, heavy use of alcohol, and other undisciplined actions are causing discussions about the professionalism of those troops. 

There are also killed many Russian generals in Ukraine. The loss of about 10 generals where at least two were lieutenant-generals is not a small thing. The list is taken from Wikipedia, and some of those losses are disputed. And most of them are not confirmed. But the fact is that even if some of those people are injured. That thing doesn't mean that they can continue their career. And the loss of lots of senior officers affects the training of the successors for those officers.

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,
