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.

The new bendable sensor is like straight from the SciFi movies.

"Researchers at Osaka University have developed a groundbreaking flexible optical sensor that works even when crumpled. Using carbon nanotube photodetectors and wireless Bluetooth technology, this sensor enables non-invasive analysis and holds promise for advancements in imaging, wearable technology, and soft robotics. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, From Sci-Fi to Reality: Scientists Develop Unbreakable, Bendable Optical Sensor) The new sensor is like the net eye of bugs. But it's more accurate than any natural net eye. The system is based on flexible polymer film and nanotubes. The nanotubes let light travel through it. And then the film at the bottom of those tubes transforms that light into the image. This ultra-accurate CCD camera can see ultimate details in advanced materials. The new system can see the smallest deviation in the materials.  And that thing makes it possible to improve safety on those layers. The ability to see ultra-small differences on surf

Quantum breakthrough: stable quantum entanglement at room temperature.

"Researchers have achieved quantum coherence at room temperature by embedding a light-absorbing chromophore within a metal-organic framework. This breakthrough, facilitating the maintenance of a quantum system’s state without external interference, marks a significant advancement for quantum computing and sensing technologies". (ScitechDaily, Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Stable Qubits at Room Temperature) Japanese researchers created stable quantum entanglement at room temperature. The system used a light-absorbing chromophore along with a metal-organic framework. This thing is a great breakthrough in quantum technology. The room-temperature quantum computers are the new things, that make the next revolution in quantum computing. This technology may come to markets sooner than we even think. The quantum computer is the tool, that requires advanced operating- and support systems.  When the support system sees that the quantum entanglement starts to reach energy stability. I

Humans should be at the center of AI development.

"Experts advocate for human-centered AI, urging the design of technology that supports and enriches human life, rather than forcing humans to adapt to it. A new book featuring fifty experts from over twelve countries and disciplines explores practical ways to implement human-centered AI, addressing risks and proposing solutions across various contexts." (ScitechDaily, 50 Global Experts Warn: We Must Stop Technology-Driven AI) The AI is the ultimate tool for handling things that behave is predictable. Things like planets' orbiting and other mechanical things that follow certain natural laws are easy things for the AI. The AI might feel human, it can have a certain accent. And that thing is not very hard to program.  It just requires the accent wordbook, and then AI can transform grammatically following text into text with a certain accent. Then the AI drives that data to the speech synthesizer. The accent mode follows the same rules as language translation programs. The ac
