Hybrid Autonomous Mobile Drone Anti Tank Missile System
Poland to win a defensive tank war against Russia... doesn't need tanks. What Poland needs is a new autonomous hybrid weapons system that combines self driving terrain vehicles with drones that can fly for several miles to engage armored units and fire one or two antitank missiles from low altitude. These weapon systems can sit in wait on the front lines and deny access to any incoming armored divisions very cheaply. They can be forward deployed and remotely controlled. Drones can be helicopter drones and thus VTOL, which means they can return to their ground vehicles where they are mounted and pick up additional missiles. Vehicles could field as many as 8 anti-tank missiles. What this means, is that this weapon system can engage tanks, mobile mortars, mobile artillery units and armored personel carriers from camouflaged locations by launching their drones, which subsequently can hit these armored units from beyond line of sight of the crew of the enemy ground vehicle it aims to neutralize as well as fly low enough to hide from radar between buildings or other ground features.
The ground vehicle should field a machine gun turret and a small UAV drone for what I termed "wizard eye" capability. The operator should have three screens: Wizard eye, ground vehicle cameras and the helicopter drone. The helicopter drone should get a weaponized version of E-Hang 184 without a big cabin, but instead a body that can survive small arms fire and RPGs with reflective armor, the platform is electric and has appropriate range for this system. It will be able to roam for a while and return to its ground vehicle after engaging enemy armor or other ground targets. It should have the option to either swap its battery or recharge using the ground vehicle's fossil fuel generator. The ground vehicle can have a hybrid range extending electric engine like the Chevy Volt, so it is quiet when it creeps into enemy territory. Active camouflage is optional. The ground vehicle can be amphibious so it can go through water or hide on lake and river bottoms, since it is electric. The drone can fly off and perch on rooftops or other difficult to reach locations as the ground vehicle hides.

The drone can fly off and perch on rooftops or other difficult to reach locations as the ground vehicle hides.
I foresee another scenario where this type of weapon system can be used to overcome Russia's mobile systems that launch nuclear weapons before they get to set them off. These hybrid ground-air-missile launch systems can creep up into Russian forests bordering Poland and take out not only armored units, but mobile radar stations and missile launchers including nuclear ones. Range should be long enough for the ground vehicle cover 100 km into Russia and back. The drone has to cover at least 7 to 10 km so the ground vehicle isn't noticed on radar and taken out. Range of missiles can be the standard American TOW missile's range of 4.5 km. The helicopter drone can be electric. The road vehicle can be powered by fossil fuels, but it should have an electric engine that makes it quiet. Lost drones can still pick up missiles from other ground vehicles and continue fighting until all missiles are used up.
I recall that Poland designed an autonomous border control system that would interdict people trying to infiltrate it or cross it illegally. This is similar, except it is a defensive and an offensive weapons system that can neutralize all armor in the Kaliningrad Oblast. Also, the nuclear bunker which stores the nukes in the Kaliningrad district should be targeted with a Chinese made tactical nuclear missile and taken out at initiation of hostilities. I mean way BEFORE Russians decide to escalate to a nuclear war. The hypersonic ramjet missiles can be purchased from China, as the country is exporting them. The range is long enough to hit anything in Kaliningrad Oblast, nuclear warhead miniaturization technology can be acquired from DPRK or France and deployed as part of EU's common defense, thus not violating NTP, as we already are a nuclear power.

Among those clicking souvenir images was a lieutenant general from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, who was part of a VIP guest list as the carrier moved through contested waters.
The carrier — which docked last week in Hong Kong in a good-faith gesture from Beijing — also offered a snapshot into challenges for the Pentagon in the Asia-Pacific region as China builds up its own naval prowess and ramps up efforts to solidify territorial demands."

"One of the most striking changes is the doubling of the price tag. The last of the Nimitz-class carriers, the USS George H.W. Bush, was commissioned in 2009 at a cost of $6.2 billion. The Ford, commissioned in 2017 with an operational emphasis on automation over manpower, has already reached $13 billion. Navy officials acknowledge that these ships have a high upfront cost and argue that the carrier will save billions of dollars throughout its life cycle."

"Fake news" CNN propaganda. Ireland is recognizing a problem and making provisions. EU will ensure that trade continues and all necessities and all Irish market demand for food and medicine is met within the block. Cutting Britain out as a transit country is going to make this CHEAPER. Britain on the other hand WILL have food and medicine shortages as supply lines will extend in time and prices will rise. NHS, the British national health care system which American oligarchs aim to privatize: will collapse, causing a life expectancy drop like in USA. Food shortages will not make British lose weight, they'll scare them into eating even more and getting more obese... resulting in higher obesity related death rates.

See what I mean about the 15%? American liars will quote the 15% when the EU as a whole has already surpassed 30% as a group. EU and USA are valid comparisons because of population size and economic output, not USA and individual countries in Europe.

USA's renewable power is at 12.7%, that's less than 15%, so they make up this bullshit about EU not meeting a 15% target. The European Union has already met a 30% target as a FEDERATION.
"With this tweet, the CEO of French oil and energy company Total, Patrick Pouyanné has confirmed what has announced yesterday during the presentation of the #PlaceAuSoleil initiative, which is another plan of the French Ministry of Ecological and Solidary Transition to improve the current regulatory framework for solar energy and boost its development.
More details on how Total’s plan will be implemented were not provided. Several other announcements, however, were made during the event: EDF’s CEO, Jean-Bernard Levy reiterated that the company will implement its 30 GW plan to “help France reduce its gap in terms of PV development;” French retail groups Auchan and Carrefour have promised to install 60 hectares, 20 hectares of solar panels, respectively, at their facilities in the country, while two more retailers, Magasins U and Les Mosquetaires, have committed to 50 hectares each.
Another big announcement came from France Ministry of Defence, which said it will make around 2,000 hectares of surfaces available for solar projects that will have to be realized by 2025. In early May, on the other hand, pv magazine had anticipated that the French administration was considering building solar park on its own premises."

"The car itself is built on a carbon fiber chassis to save weight. The entire vehicle weighs just 360 kg (794 lb) without a driver. It features 318 mono-crystalline photovoltaic cells covering 5 square meters (54 square feet) of the hood, roof and trunk lid. And these aren’t your standard Amazon solar panels. Violet’s cells are rated with an efficiency of approximately 22%."
This week, they said that they are working with ElringKlinger on the pack and they settled on a 35 kWh battery pack:
“It is now clear that the Sion’s battery will have a capacity of 35 kWh. We have opted for a battery technology that is based on 51Ah-PHEV-II cells, which is particularly future-oriented and features by far the highest energy density available on the market to date.”
At first, the company said that the battery pack would be around “around €4,000,” but it now expects the price of the battery pack to be €9,500 – bringing the price of the full vehicle to €25,500 (~$29,000)."

What should have been a mass produced commuter car, is becoming just one option out of many on the EV market price in the $30,000 range. Sono is likely trying to take advantage of having a following, that following was price dependent. They may soon learn that coming in low and raising prices turns customers off. Apple comes in high, then lowers the price and generates far more sales, making people think they're getting something much cheaper than they otherwise would. Sono making improvements to the drive train is less significant, then the price that would make the car an affordable solution to basically EVERYONE in Eurasia.
The fact that Sono is a solar car which could have little to no maintenance, fuel or electricity costs, made it unique. At $30,000 the people who buy it will care less about saving a few bucks on electricity and won't drive it as mainly a solar powered car. This means that the price will not get the intended buyer, and those who would buy the car in this price range won't see the solar charging as any great advantage which is the cars unique gimmick. The demand for the car will plummet. I see American hands in this. Another fatality of US interference in a desperate struggle of the fossil fuel oligarchs to keep oil afloat.

Compare this to TESLA model 3 priced at $35,000 in the EU, which can bring down the cost to below $30,000 with subsidies. There is a TESLA charging infrastructure across Europe, it is faster and you don't have to pay for the electricity, if you are a Tesla owner. Now compare the performance and range to Sono's. Oh. And you own the battery inside your TESLA. Any questions? Sono is dead on arrival. Nobody can be that ignorant of the competition and this stupid, hence the only rational explanation is foreign interference to stop a cheap mass produced car from taking over a vast niche.

Aha. Except there is a shutdown, because Trump wants to profiteer on the wall. The wall was supposed to pay for itself. I said to make the wall into a solar PV power plant, that is privatized and runs along the length of the border, with private security. See anyone criminally trespassing electric utilities' fenced grounds? No? There are several reasons for that. Migrants won't cross a barrier like this. If they do, criminal charges will be immediate, and no matter how stupid and desperate they are, even they will understand that it is a crime to go into and damage electric power plant's property. It is the Trump administration's FED that raised interest rates. It is Trump who started a trade war. It is Trump who backed out of one treaty and trade deal after another... including NAFTA. It is Trump who is backing out of Syria and Afghanistan. Trump. Trump. Trump. He's a weapon of economic mass destruction. I said this many times, Trump is the best revenge on the American torturers, stalkers, harassers, abusers, thieves, libelers, frauds and killers... I could ever have! If it is one thing that Trump is good at, it is cheating people out of their money and then going bankrupt. He has a proven track record of success in this. US national debt is at the level of Greece's in 2008, or about 110% debt to GDP ratio. The economy may be doing well, but it is running on DEBT. When people will no longer be able to pay their debts to maintain consumer spending, the economy will crash. Oh, and things will be MUCH more expensive across the board. Thank Donald "the Economic WMD" Trump for that and his tariffs! Chinese supply chain for US companies will become at least 20% more expensive come this January... and you will see this basically in ALL of your consumer spending as prices rise. I'd go get popcorn and watch... but I think I'll go for half a gallon of ice cream instead, and anyway, I'm a real leader and a logical economist who understands these simple synergies. Thieves like Trump and this oligarch cronies only understand the windfall they benefited from in tax cuts for the rich. And the world is rich. So rich that every one of you should have $45,000 each, man, woman and child, anywhere in the world. Instead you have $86,000 in debt to pay back, and the 1% hoard everything offshore. Not that they're hiding it. They had Trump give them LEGAL tax breaks.

"WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit swelled to $779 billion in fiscal year 2018, the Treasury Department said on Monday, driven in large part by a sharp decline in corporate tax revenues after the Trump tax cuts took effect.
The deficit rose nearly 17 percent year over year, from $666 billion in 2017. It is now on pace to top $1 trillion a year before the next presidential election, according to forecasts from the Trump administration and outside analysts. The deficit for the 2018 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, was the largest since 2012, when the economy and federal revenues were still recovering from the depths of the recession."

"A group of Democrats working in secret replicated the deceptive social media tactics they claim Russians used to steal the 2016 election in order to win the 2017 Alabama Senate race, according to an explosive NYT report.
The primarily social-media-based campaign to bolster the candidacy of Democrat Doug Jones and smear Republican Roy Moore implemented many of the divisive techniques outlined in the reports released earlier this week on Russian social media influence operations, according to an internal report on the effort acquired by the New York Times. Such resemblance is not surprising, given that one of the Alabama effort's ringleaders was Jonathon Morgan, whose company New Knowledge produced one of those reports."

Pakpour said the IRGC Ground Force’s past experience in fighting terrorism, securing borders, and the experience resulting from recent wars has helped shape new defensive doctrines."

The old Henry Ford was right when he remarked that, when he offered the first serially produced car, he didn’t follow what people wanted. As he put it succinctly, if asked what they want, the people would have answer: “A better and stronger horse to pull our carriage!”
This insight finds an echo in Steve Jobs’ infamous motto that “a lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.”
In spite of all one has to criticize in the activity of Jobs, he was close to an authentic master in how he understood his motto. When he was asked how much customer feedback Apple uses, he snapped back: “It's not the customers’ job to know what they want… we figure out what we want.”"

What Yellow Jackets want is a $15,000 solar electric car that is domestically produced without some tricky scheme for battery rental and one that can run 50 km a day without fuel or charging... so they can get to work without using a 1/3 of their measly wages on commuting. But, without a leader they can't verbalize this, and the French governments is unlikely to deliver. French car companies would have to field domestic battery production, and they're behind in the game. Compromise then?!

Eh. Yeah. So. Read my comments from earlier in the day on why Poland should make a $15,000 solar powered Fiat 126 that runs on one day's worth of sun's charge for 50 km worth of driving on an average day in Europe. Also, see why Sono's Scion is NOT that car.

However, destroying some ships and a port city in this type of an attack or accident, could result in global denuclearization and thus prevent a global holocaust as well as ecosystem collapse. Also, if a drone were to detonate a nuclear weapon next to an American nuclear submarine and cause a tsunami triggering the sub's own nuclear arsenal, there'd no way to tell the difference as to what actually happened. No evidence would survive such an explosion.

I think that we must assume the answer is yes, although in my view it is very, very unlikely and varies according to the actor and system involved. The most vulnerable systems are probably those that are the most modern and complex, and particularly those systems that control nuclear weapons held on high alert. Nuclear weapons software and associated systems could be altered as they are being built, electronic signals might somehow be sent to nuclear weapons, or perhaps hackers could seek to precipitate nuclear use indirectly by misleading those systems and manipulating the information that they rely upon."

If you're under surveillance, you can conduct counter-surveillance. Fair game. Being that you are criminally targeted by the American regime in your own country. Then of course you can do what you think is appropriate to the NSA attackers.
The cyber threat to nuclear systems is unquestionably real, but it is far more nuanced than it is often portrayed. For example, the biggest risk by far is that of cyber-nuclear espionage—that is, stealing nuclear operational or design secrets. Also, states are much more likely to seek to disrupt or disable an opponent’s nuclear systems than seek to cause a launch or explosion. Finally, although the risk of a third party or cyber-terrorists hacking into a nuclear system and causing a launch is real, it is arguably easier for, and more likely, that these groups will seek to precipitate or deepen a nuclear crisis or cause inadvertent or mistaken nuclear use.

"Silence makes the United States an accomplice to Turkey’s war crimes against the Kurds in Syria, a former senior adviser at the State Department wrote in The Boston Globe.

Erdoğan used the “alleged coup” of July 2016, said Phillips, to justify a sweeping crackdown against suspected opponents."

"At least twice this year, the Syrian military fired Iranian-made artillery shells filled with a chlorine-like substance that oozed poison slowly, giving victims just a few minutes to escape.
In another attack, Syrian forces dropped a chemical bomb on the top-floor balcony of an apartment building, killing 49 people, including 11 children. Their skin turned blue.
These details and others blaming Syria for atrocities in eastern Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus, were uncovered by a United Nations commission investigating and documenting possible war crimes in the seven-year-old conflict. But when the commission issued a report on Wednesday, the details were omitted.

The de facto economic embargo imposed by the Russian military on Ukraine is impoverishing the adversery to the point where half of Ukrainians' income is spent on.... FOOD! Russians like Americans are using economic pressure, sanctions and embargo to discredit Ukraine's adversarial gov't, starve them of cash, and weaken them before attacking. But, like I said, the invasion of Ukraine wont' happen until Syria is overtaken by Assad's forces and secured by Iranian missiles against Israeli belligerence. If Assad makes a deal with Kurds, which is LIKELY, Russia's full on invasion and bombing of Ukraine could happen by spring 2019.

Russia feels safe about its navy and nuclear assets in Crimea. Now it moved in its air force, which means it can bomb ALL of Ukraine from Crimea and supply Crimea over the new built bridge or after it sieges Mariupol, like Assad to multiple cities in Syria, it can use the land bridge as it overtakes all of Donbas and Luhansk, on its way to putting the pain on Kiev and destroying Ukraine's industry, military industrial complex and ability to wage war.

Russia will most likely take advantage of this and fuel violence over social media, mind control via cellular telephony, sabotage, shootings, cyber attacks etc. I think Russia will also pay criminals to set people up and instigate things, kind of like Americans are portrayed to do in "Of Mice and Men". CIA did this using Georgian snipers to overthrow a democratically elected ethnic Russian president of Ukraine, I doubt Russians will resort to killings, but other forms of instigation are highly likely.

That's 4,600 ground units. If each Hybrid Autonomous Mobile Drone Anti Tank Missile System system has 8 missiles, that means for a comparable force to be deterred or defeated in Kaliningrad Oblast, Poland needs at least 600 units, if it will lose only 25 of them in combat and has hit rate of 100%. The drone can also carry air-to-air missiles to take out helicopters. So that's be another 40 units, as an anti helicopter air defense system. They can serve as both anti-armor and anti-helicopter weapons. Just change the missiles and missile orders.
