Automated Machines Progressing in Agriculture?
Naio Orio is a French company making waves with its 700Kg tool carrier that can work with brassicas and carrot and a host of other crops and coming in at 200,000 Euros for the big farmers is a splash in the pan!
Four models are now available working with a Dutch company they can offer a large selection of tools for automated work on the farms and is one of the many break through's that are being made in the field?
North Sea Incident?
Deliberate was it negligence or deliberate, one has to wonder and why at this time did it happen with the loss of one merchantman and two ships the SOLONG cargo carrier under a Portugese flag travelling from Scotland to Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Aviation fuel carrier STENA IMMACULATE under a U.S. flag on contract for the United States air force, anchored after arriving from Greece!
What could have been far worse, has not come to fruition as yet, but a danger to wildlife on East-Yorkshire coastline remains to be seen?
It remains unclear what was happening on the bridge of the SOLONG, while the STENA IMMACULATE was on an anchor ten mile east of spurn head and an inquiry will eventually tell us the truth of the matter?
Smaller business class Jets?
Britain, and France lead the way with the one-hundred seat Concorde until a crash in France twenty-five years ago ended a most successful trans-Atlantic affair, meanwhile only Singapore airlines operated the type and the Soviet-Russians operated their Tupolev TU-144 between Moscow and the far east, but the demand was not strong and the type was retired too!
On the other hand the U.S. has gone it alone with several larger Boeing concepts, but this new type will allow a one third version to be built more so for private and business flights and to be employed world wide, the secret to this type is perhaps alternative fuel, speed and operational costs being much lower than the original types?
One will just have to wait and see what will happen, or is this another red herring, pink elephants ect, that we will never see the light of day as so many went before!
Musk has taken the Idea!
But it is not all going his way since one of his Tesla trucks was used in suspected home grown terror attack on a Trump hotel in Las Vegas!
The idea to turn his truck into an armored vehicle looks like a possibility for the future, but one is not sure if he will be the first, since many countries in Europe already have electric versions of utility vehicles and police and other emergency powered by battery?
If the Tesla does become available, then it would have a very limited market, since most countries world-wide still burn petrol and diesel!
Lots still to Offer?
Poland made a few wise choices when it was part of the Soviet Warsaw pact in that of developing its own aircraft to meet its own military, civil and others middle areas for service and despite a changing world this has continued today with new type of smaller aircraft and adaptions to its newer western jet fighters!
Where it has been successful is in helicopters and agricultural, but now it is moving into the liaison market, with smaller aircraft, the Eagle man, but it is the Sokol helicopter based on the Mil-Mi-4 that just keeps going and is cheaper for many developing countries?
Poland was not very successful developing the Iskra jet trainer, but it did improve its fleet of ageing MIG-17/19 jets with board fairings, something that the Peoples Republic of China followed in!
Trusted Russian media Reports?
Was this the last straw for Joe Biden, when the Houthis had the nerve to strike a U.S. carrier with two ballistic missiles in the northern part of the red sea and strike several other warships putting them out of temporary action!
The Carrier has returned to a undisclosed place for repairs and it is not clear if it has been replaced by another, it would seem that the U.S. defense systems was not able to cope with multiple forms of attack at the same time, so we now know that the U.S. navy is vulnerable at sea?
Apart from holes in the deck of the carrier we do not know how many aircraft, helicopters were lost of damages and how many crew were killed or injured, since when things go bad for the U.S. they refuse to release any information, but with this lack in basic security it is worrying time for the incoming Trump administration that they are weak on many fronts!
For International terrorism with the SUV and the Toyota pickups?
The world is changing for terrorism, the lack to explosives is evident but it is easier to kill people with what you can find in your kitchen and hire a SUV or a Tesla to get you point across mowing down peoples and hearing, 'the snap, crackle and pop!
Wither they kill five or fifteen, its a start on killing many more with a stolen truck as was seen in France and many other places, some incidents could be terror related but are being classed as out of control vehicles rather than deliberate?
In Germany over Christmas a mechanical digger was used to try to demolish a super store and the driver shot dead. Knife crime across the U.K. in cities is now normal and an everyday occurrence with both the police and the government doing their best to play it all down, since they are well protected and the rest of us have to hope for the best!
