The weak point of Western weapons is the GPS.


The Russians can jam the GPS. That jamming happens by putting lightweight, mobile jamming stations near the front. And that makes some Western weapons unable to work. There is a medicine against that kind of jamming. The idea is that the anti-radiation or anti-radar missiles would adjust to seek targets that send jamming signals in the frequency of the GPS, that bombs and missiles are using. Then the HARM-type of missiles can be shot against those jamming stations. The ability to jam the GPS has shown that there is a needed two types of weapons. 

1) Radar or radio-homing missiles and bombs. Those systems detect the radio signals and then their homing system will aim them against those radio sources. 

Those missiles can be aircraft-shot or they could be land or sea-based systems. Or maybe in the future the radar or radiation source homing grenades can also use against jammer stations near the front. The radar- or radiation-homing missile can be modified HiMARS or ATAMCS missile, equipped with HARM-missile's homing systems.

Russians modified some of their AS-4 "Kitchen" missiles into anti-radar missions. The primary targets for those missiles are the carrier task forces. And the aircraft can shoot AS-4's anti-radiation variant against early warning radars. Another risk is that the jammer systems start to suck those anti-radiation missiles into them. 

The radio transmitters, hidden in targets can also use to aim anti-radiation missiles. Undercover agents can slip those transmitters to the targets. Or quadcopter can use to carry the radio transmitters to the roof of targeted buildings. And those systems can send location signals for anti-radiation missiles. Anti-radiation missiles also can use against aircraft. They can limit the use of regular radars for target seeking. 

2) Internal homing systems must also use in weapons. Smart weapons also require internal homing systems. That makes them able to operate without GPS. The combination of the optical seeker and inertial navigation system is the ultimate tool that makes the weapon immune to GPS jamming. The image homing systems are used in Javelin, and maybe in bigger missiles like AGM-65 Mavericks.

Russians use the inertia-radar hybrid homing systems in their AS-4 "Kitchen" missiles.  Supersonic Tu-22 M "Backfire" bombers can shoot those missiles, and they cause grey hair for Ukrainian air defense. The AS-4 uses inertia in the early flight sequence. And in terminal sequence that system turns to use radar homing systems. The anti-radar variant of the AS-4 missiles can use against the jammer and radar systems.

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....
