It has been announced by the Russian Ministry of Defense that they have a new type of nuclear weapon. Not just a surface missile but it has also a submarine launched system as well. The surface launched system is a conventional system but has an extraordinary power system. It is powered by nuclear fission. That means there is to be no restrictions on the distance it can reach. It will reach any place the target is on the planet. No matter how far it is this nuclear missile will destroy it. No need for an ICBM. And it seems to called the doomsday missile. Very apt.
Then there is the submarine version. This though has a draw back because it does not fly through the air. It is a torpedo. It can still destroy a land based target. But! it is detectable and can be destroyed before it reach’s its target. Where ever that may be. But it has a nuclear warhead and is nuclear power source. This may be another doomsday weapon but it should be thought of as another means of a threat rather than a useful weapon. If it was launched then the chances are that the torpedo could be destroyed before reaching its target. But the conventional warhead cannot be destroyed.
Travel Ban Reversal
If you thought that the UK’s travel ban was not fair then you have not being paid any attention to what is going on. If you have read my blog on Christmas day you would have realize that the world is now banned travel to hear in the UK. They have advised their citizens to leave the UK as soon as possible because of the two new strains of Coronavirus. It is shocking to say the least that this reversal has come out of the blue. Seven days ago the border to France was closed and that lorry drivers stuck in the UK could not get home and cutting of food supplies to the UK.
Now another strain has appeared from South Africa but this time a travel ban was agreed by both countries. It is worrying because if you are a UK citizen you are stuck in your own country with a deadly virus on the rampage and you cannot run away from it. Even though the UK government is trying to get a grip of these two new variants. It will be some time that anyone will be able to walk around freely. Anyone you meet in the street may have the new strain. And you would not be able to out run it. And if you are stuck in another country you will not be able to return. Lets hope the new strain od coronavirus can be brought under control.
