This is "Taranis" the most advanced military drone, what have made in the United Kingdom, and it has more capacities than U.S NAVY's X-47B. This autonomous STEALTH-drone have global strike capacity, by flying straight from the UK to any target in the world. This system is created by BAE-systems and it has been told to be the most sophisticated military system in the world. The ability to operate autonomously makes possible to operate unlimited time in airborne if those drones would have airborne refueling capacity or in this case, refueling planes in the sky operating with them. Here we must ask, when comes the "Lancaster II" bomber in the use of RAF?


Those highly advanced drones can also make strikes with nuclear- or conventional weapons to any target, any time on the Earth. The shape of the machine is similar with X-47B, because of STEALTH-technology and also this shape would give the best aerodynamic results, what can be imagined. The unlimited strike capacity is the very impressive thing and in some rumors is, that there are plans to build nuclear-powered versions of those drones. Those nuclear-powered drones might have the capacity to fly even years without airborne refueling. In nuclear-powered aircraft, the reactor would able to make the electric arc in the tube of RAMJET of flap ramjet, and that thing would allow the system to fly.


The problem with nuclear-powered aircraft is if the reactor if touching with propellant, it would make it radioactive. That's why there must be used the closed-cycle cooling system, where the heat of the reactor would transfer to air. And this cooling system consists of the turbo-generator, what would make the electric arc in the motor, and also gives electric power to that aircraft. When we are thinking the shape of the aircraft, we can make many size planes with the same drawings. If we keep the intercourse of dimensions same, we can make even C-5 "Galaxy"-sized drone, what looks like X-47B. And this brings interesting things in my mind. And here I must ask: how many secrets are found in the safe boxes of the defense authorities of the United Kingdom and the USA?

Why was Africa so important for CIA?

Mercenaries are good actors in top-secret military operations. They would not tell anything about those military actions. When we are talking about those "dogs of war", we have the straight picture in our heads, that those persons are some men with assault rifles, who drive jeeps in somewhere of conflict zones. But those men are sometimes operating with jet fighters or bombers. That equipment officially is removed from service, that it cannot be tracked to some governments. They are always elder combat aircraft like Folland Gnat, Fouga Magister or Hawker Hunter, what is easy to get and explain to some authorities if they ask the purpose of those aircraft.


There are many stories about the mercenary operations in Africa, what was profited by CIA, and there were rumors that Patrice Lumumba (1925-1961), the man who could be the leader of the Democratic Republic of Congo, what was in that time known as Zaire, was killed by mercenaries, who took orders from CIA. After that, the power in that country was taken by Mobutu Se-Se Seko (1930-1997). That happened in 1963, when Belgia leave its colonies in Africa and the road what Congo walked repeated simultaneously in every African country, what was given the independence.


In 1970's when Angola was taken independence were many mercenaries fought in that area, and there are always questions, why CIA made those operations, where was not used, official American troops, and it was operated by using mercenaries? The  CIA's way to make those operations, where independent states took under the control of the United States military intelligence were legendary. All those operations were so-called semi-public material. Those operations were well known, but the evidence that American military personnel was involved with them was covered. And also there were not allowed to use the United States military equipment, because of U.S military didn't want that the M-16 assault rifles and Huey Helicopters were too many times in the films, what were shown on the evening news. That's why in those operations were used so-called foreign military equipment like Chilean or Spanish assault rifles. But one question is open, and that's the question: why CIA was so interested about Africa in that time. The reason was diamonds, what were easy to transform into money.


Those diamonds were the key of dark operations of KGB, what could make deals with African leaders. In the worst scenario, what CIA:s headquarters could see, was that African leaders would sell diamonds to the western markets, get dollars from the west, and after that buy military or other technical hardware from Russia or the Soviet Union. And that would allow delivering those dollars in the hands of KGB, what could now get the financial support for its own illegal operations. When we are talking about mercenary operations in Africa, the Soviet Union and its allies like East-Germany send military advisors to Africa to train and control the local troops. There is little bit difference between those operations in East and West. In the West those operations were public, and everybody knew about "white soldiers" in Africa, but in the Soviet Union, those operations were classified.


And there were stories that some East-German agents, who worked in the same missions as Soviet personnel sometimes sold their services to some "security companies" because there were no language problems between East and West Germany. And if some of those advisory wanted to change their homeland, that was possible. The operator marked as dead, and then this person could get West German passport, and of course, the bank account where was money from the services of those persons. The mission of those men and maybe women was to give practice for use of MI-24 "Hind" helicopters and other Russian military equipment like anti-tank weapons.


That equipment told that in Africa were operated many more things than assault rifles. There are rumors that mercenaries few also even the jet fighters in those operations, what was highly classified. Many of the documents about those missions might be burned in some grills in the United States, France, and Great Britain. And nobody ever can prove anything about those operations. Western side took Hawker Hunters and Canberra bombers in that area, and at the first, those aircraft was marked as "removed". There are rumors that, those aircraft were re-painted, and in sometimes those pilots were used airfields in somewhere in Europe. After that those pilots used airborne refueling in the long-range operations, what was targeted in southern Africa.


After the attack, those aircraft returned home. When we are thinking about hiding those missions, the guns of those aircraft installed like the shells would not drop to the ground. That means the cannons would collect used shells to the box, that the aircraft would not be uncovered. And of course, bombs and rockets were marked to used in some practice. The importance of southern Africa uncovered when Henry Kissinger (born 1923) started to give pressure to the Rhodesian government for stopping the civil war. Also, Kissinger stopped the military support for South-Africa, because that nation used racist Apartheid policy, and that was very embarrassing for the United States.


Those apartheid countries were caused themselves, that they were not able to get military support from the United States because if most of the people of the country were not able to vote, that was very bad sign for democracy. and CIA claimed that it was working for democracy.  Kissinger was very hardcore and high-rank actor in the foreign policy of the United States. That man was guaranteed, that the President of the United States was behind those contracts. He was actually given support also for Kurdish warriors in Turkey, but when the PKK took control in the Kurdish movement, the support was checked, what means that it was delayed because PKK was ranked as the terrorist organization, and Turkish government started to get military support.

Why were German wonder weapons so big flop?

V-2 Rocket was the most well known German
wonder weapons
(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is the text, what I sometimes wanted to write for explaining, why Nazi wonder weapons ("Wunderwaffe")  were the biggest flops in history? There is one very good reason, why those weapons ever got effect against allied forces, and that was that they were produced so little number, that they would not have any kind of effect against allied forces. Another reason for those flops was that they were produced and drawn by very big hurry, what caused the situation, that there were many mistakes in planning and production of those in paper very good airplanes and submarines. One of the best examples of the good ideas, but in real life, bad and dangerous product was Heinkel 117 "Greif" what motors had got too little coolers, and they made that airplane very easy to burn in airborne.


And because of the Nazi-bureaucracy, nobody changed the drawings, and production of the aircraft, what had two V-motors with a double number of cylinders, but the coolers were metered for half size motors continued even if many of those aircraft were actually started to burn in airborne because of engine overheating. Also, the famous V-2 rockets had one problem, those rockets were actually planned for scientific purposes, and that made them very difficult to a product. The missiles must be the large number, and that's why almost every missile in the world uses solid fuel because that allows manufacturing a large number of missiles. V-2 could be effective if there would be used biological or chemical warhead, but luckily those plans were disbanded.



When we are talking about "real weapons" the problem with those real weapons was that they were ineffective against allied forces. And because of Focke-Wulff and Messerschmitt fighters problems with allied aircraft the Nazi government wanted to make new kind of weapons. One of those weapons what were effective was FX-1400 ("Fritz X"), what was first used in 1943 against Italian battleships and one of the DO-17Z-3 bombers was able to get direct hit to one Italian battleships gun tower. One thing makes me think, that maybe some of those problems with bombers were caused in purpose are involving in this weapon. Why the survivability of those bombers didn't make better by using laughing gas or some other oxygenase in the motors of those bombers, what would allow them to fly higher altitude. And avoiding the air defense and some fighters of allied forces.


That was shown how effectively guided missiles could be worked, but the problem was that the Luftwaffe had to transfer the production of bombers to the fighters, and that caused the loss of a number of bombers, what had the capacity to carry those glide bombs. Also, the training of airmen to use that weapon was difficult, because allied fighters disturbed those pieces of training, and loss of fuel caused problems for flight operations. When we are talking about German submarines and their weapons, there were made new kind of torpedoes, what could guide to the target by using electric wires, what was in the spinning rod, and the captain of the submarine could drive those torpedoes to the target by using two circuit breakers. Those weapons were ineffective because if the captain of the submarine made the wrong move while losing the sight of the torpedo, would those torpedoes destroy own submarine.


The "Walter turbine", what allowed to drive submarines underwater with high speed flopped because the fuel was too exotic. And the principle, where steam for turbines was created by mixing hydrogen peroxide and water was very good, but those submarines were ready for their first patrol in May 1945, and they couldn't make an influence for the World War II. But those submarines were the very good vision and technically advanced. And some bad rumors tell or claims that they were produced for allied forces as the commercial card, what kind of things the German military engineers could do.  One of the reasons for the failure of those wonder weapons was that their users could not wait for the sign of their effectiveness against the enemy.


If some of those wonder weapons were not hit the target, that meant the delaying of the production of that system. And of course, German factories were gone under the heavy bombings, and that made impossible to the product of those new weapons, and that made them ineffective against any target. They were very technical and difficult to the product. But the air superiority of allied forced Germans to make those weapons, what was not very effective, sometimes because of the small production numbers. Of course in German political culture was very many cases, were the engineer, who made mistakes just executed, and that's why those people hide mistakes, what they made in very high pressure and for those projects were given very short time. That made those machines dangerous for their users.
