Nuke Nerd Alert!
It seems that Vlad Putin is taking a stab at using nuclear-powered rockets to send stuff to Mars. Now, considering that rocket propulsion systems require a “push” to reach delta V (escape velocity, as shown in the Soyuz MS-10 photo), it is not clear exactly how the Russians intend to produce that effect. It’s not […]
No Nork War Just Yet
Here’s more news about Norkiland, including a reference at the end to the solar storms generated by a large sunspot (a cluster?) going on right now. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/08/north-koreas-next-missile-launch-could-come-saturday-as-it-plays-chicken-with-us.html The article references changing the angle of the missile’s guidance system to a flatter trajectory to hit a specific target.

And the Beat Goes On….
Russia is nervous about the Norks? So it seems. It appears, per this Reuters article, that Russia’s somewhat doveish approach to Norkiland is not doing so well. The Russian government is continuing trade with the Norks, but in a more moderated way. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-northkorea-trade-idUSKCN1B81BO According to Galushka’s statement, the Russian government is sticking to the guidelines […]
We Gonna Show You!!
It’s the usual stuff with Norkiland: we gonna bump up missiles, we gonna launch ‘em at you, we gonna show you we Da Big Cheeses. We gonna bomb Guam!!! So the threats toward Guam didn’t work. Guam went about its day-to-day business. Guamaians got interviewed by reporters who may have never heard of that US […]
DPRK Readying Next Nuke Test
NDtBF is at it again- can’t feed his people but he can afford to pop another A-Bomb, and soon. ‘“The test could come as early as the end of the month,” said one official.’ Both the Russians and the US have prepositioned surveillance aircraft to the area to monitor the air post blast. Ours is an […]
Gee . . . Thanks, SCoaMF
Iran recently tested a new and highly sophisticated air defense system. They obtained the system from Russia. The system is based on Russia’s S-300 missile. The NATO designation for the original system is the SA-10; since the original version was first deployed in the late 1970s, Iran doubtless received a more modern variant. The first […]
News from Norkiland: Mad Dog Pays a Visit
Maybe I’m easily impressed, but it seems to me that the new administration in the White House got to work right away, with less ‘look at me’ than we’ve seen in a while. This includes SecDef Mattis’s putting the Norks On Notice to mind their P’s, Q’s, and nukes. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-usa-mattis-idUSKBN15I060 From the article: ‘ “Any […]
