New fuel for Shipping!

 Cheaper than the Electric engines for the New Year?

It is amazing that this has now been discovered and that battery powered tramps working on a loop keep steady power, something that could be adapted in the U.K. for the London Underground Circle line and also the clockwork orange in Glasgow in Scotland!

If investment could open the Hirwaun loop in south-Wales it would be an eye opener for travel and business, with many other applications in Cardiff and elsewhere?

Military drones are becoming more effective in the Ukraine and its security situation with Russia, but this is not same in the Middle-East, so one has to wonder is it really true or just British/European propaganda!

Despite all the advances, it looks like the U.S. will start mining coal again and the fossil fuel issues is not going away with the piracy of the high seas, driving prices up for all?

Happy New Year and a peaceful Eastern-Christmas!

British sanctions on Israel!

 IDF Update their F-15 fighter-bomber fleet for 2029.

Starmer and Lammy believed they were or are doing the right thing in support of two-state solution that neither side wants in the Middle-East and these sanctions sad as they are has only lead to Israel upgrading its F-15 fleet, expected to be completed by 2029.

The McDonnel-Douglas F-15 Eagle has now a long service history with the United States Air Force and Israel and remains a very effective long rage capable fighter-bomber! 

Conceived in the late 1960's the type was side-lined for the F-4 Phantom, but by the time the Soviets had developed the MiG-25 Foxbat, the treat to NATO had escalated and the F-111 was not able to do what the Russians could, so the F-15 went into serious production, being supplied to Japan and Saudi-Arabia.

With a ceiling of 80,000+ feet she could match the Russians and a speed MACH 2.5 and a radius of 4600 Km it was ideal fro long missions that has suited Israel in the Middle-East region

Rockets. Part-One.

1938 to the Present.

The German V2 rocket was the first intercontinental ballistic missile targeted from Southern-Denmark to London. In 1957 Soviet Russia changed the world with Sputnik, the first signal received from Space. The 1960's marked out the Space race from Gagarin to the Space shuttle and the establishment of the International space station (ISS).

Today we have the Internet and space communications, satellite TV, GPS and many other things, due to the development of the rocket. On the other side we have nuclear weapons from Trident here in the U.K. to many other sophisticated U.S and Russian counterparts. Missile warfare is now standard, ad seen in the Middle-East with captured Surface to air SCUD systems and we hear of Iran testing a newer system nearly every month.
