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.

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....
