 Science/Technology › Africa Countries That Manufacture Their Military Weapons by IdotG(op): 6:48pm On Apr 25, 2020 |
Research shows that African nations are importing fewer arms over the last decade. Arms export across the world is currently the highest it has ever been since the Cold War ended in 1991. This is according to new research from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) which found a 23 per cent increase in 2014–18 compared to the international transfer of major arms in 2004–2008. Despite this general spike, the new report titled 'Trends in International Arms Transfers, 2018,' showed a 6.5 per cent decrease in arms imports in Africa over the last decade. This could be attributed to the fact that more local manufacturers are joining the lucrative industry, which made over $25 billion last year. Africa Facts reports that at least 11 nations currently produce some of the weapons used by the military and police. These manufacturing and distribution factories can be found in South Africa, Nigeria Egypt, and other parts of the continent. Here are the seven African countries that produce their own weapons and even export to other nations: 1.South Africa Coming out of the cruel apartheid regime, South Africa’s locally manufactured weapons were at the time described as crowd-control equipment, consisting of attack helicopters, military trucks, security vehicles, assault rifles, handguns and armoured personnel cars. Considered as a country with one of the most advanced weaponry in the world today, South Africa has, in recent times, made some light armoured vehicles and anti-tank missiles. Its weaponry is demanded in several countries across the world. In 2016 and 2017, South Africa supplied arms to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates including heavy artillery guns and assault rifles, ammunition, armoured vehicles, surveillance and military technology, according to the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC). 2.Ethiopia A report released by Agence France-Presse (AFP) confirms that Ethiopia is home to perhaps one of the most powerful armies in Africa. Though weapon production began in the 1800s under Emperor Tewondros, today, the country also has a pretty lucrative industry pertaining to weapon production. Ethiopia produces small arms, rifles and grenades propelled by rockets. According to the AFP report, Ethiopia has a defense budget of roughly $400 million dollars. click on the link below to read in full details https://www.operanewsapp.com/ng/en/share/detail?news_id=e1fd5d7a10262204637e7a684016d040&news_entry_id=s65a52a0c200421en_ng&open_type=transcoded&request_id=SUBSCRIBE_ITEM_32c83e3c-e32a-4330-9d6c-efeb5e66cd85&from=news |
| Science/Technology › Top 7 Deadly Secret Weapon Owned By China Military by IdotG(op): 6:39pm On Apr 25, 2020 |
China is "on the verge of fielding some of the most modern weapon systems in the world," a new US defense intelligence assessment said in mid-January. The Chinese media seems determined to let the world, especially the US, know it's developing powerful new weapons. Whether these weapons are actually effective remains to be seen. Read More: China is developing cutting-edge weapons, and the greatest danger is that they may soon have the confidence to use them, the Pentagon warns The Chinese military is reportedly working on everything from railguns and knife guns to "carrier killer" anti-ship missiles. Here are seven of the weapons China's been showing off. 1. Electromagnetic railgun A rail gun is basically a large electric circuit, made up of three parts: a power source, a pair of parallel rails and a moving armature. Let's look at each of these parts in more detail. This content is not compatible on this device. The power supply is simply a source of electric current. Typically, the current used in medium- to large-caliber rail guns is in the millions of amps. The rails are lengths of conductive metal, such as copper. They can range from four to 30 feet (9 meters) long. The armature bridges the gap between the rails. It can be a solid piece of conductive metal or a conductive sabot -- a carrier that houses a dart or other projectile. Some rail guns use a plasma armature. In this set-up a thin metal foil is placed on the back of a non-conducting projectile. When power flows through this foil it vaporizes and becomes a plasma, which carries the current. Here's how the pieces work together: An electric current runs from the positive terminal of the power supply, up the positive rail, across the armature, and down the negative rail back to the power supply. Current flowing in any wire creates a magnetic field around it -- a region where a magnetic force is felt. This force has both a magnitude and a direction. In a rail gun, the two rails act like wires, with a magnetic field circulating around each rail. The force lines of the magnetic field run in a counterclockwise circle around the positive rail and in a clockwise circle around the negative rail. The net magnetic field between the rails is directed vertically. Like a charged wire in an electric field, the projectile experiences a force known as the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz). The Lorentz force is directed perpendicularly to the magnetic field and to the direction of the current flowing across the armature. click on the link below for full details https://www.operanewsapp.com/ng/en/share/detail?news_id=09b3a8599c81d4deaccd2b5912545bd1&news_entry_id=s72ad298e200420en_ng&open_type=transcoded&request_id=SUBSCRIBE_ITEM_32c83e3c-e32a-4330-9d6c-efeb5e66cd85&from=news |
| Technology Market › Countries Aiming In Manufacturing Deadly Killer Robot Military Weapon by IdotG(op): 6:29pm On Apr 25, 2020 |
Due to advancements in military weapon flowing among the poweful countries or the development countries. China and America are the two power house in term of deadly weapon producing. powerful nations with large technology industries are resistant to imposing expansive limitations. Technology experts and human rights advocates issued new warnings about lethal autonomous weapons as the first U.N. meeting on killer robots took place this week in Geneva. As the United Nations' first formal meeting about killer robots came to a close on Friday, tech experts and critics continued to warn about autonomous weapons and called for more urgent action to curb the threat they pose. In Geneva this week, a Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW) group of governmental experts on lethal autonomous weapons systems gathered to discuss growing demands that the global community establish limitations on the development of robotic weapons. As artificial intelligence technology has advanced, human rights organizations, advocacy groups , military leaders , lawmakers , and tech experts, and engineers such Tesla CEO Elon Musk have all expressed concerns about these fast-evolving machines. "Militaries around the world and defense companies are sinking a lot of money" into developing weapons that can autonomously select targets and kill humans, Mary Wareham of the arms division at Human Rights Watch (HRW) told AFP. "Countries do not have time... to waste just talking about this subject." "These will be weapons of mass destruction," warned Toby Walsh, an expert on artificial intelligence at the University of New South Wales in Australia. "I am actually quite confident that we will ban these weapons," he added. "My only concern is whether [nations] have the courage of conviction to do it now, or whether we will have to wait for people to die first." Amid discussions in Geneva this week, Brazil, Iraq, and Uganda joined the growing list of 22 nations that are calling for an outright ban on fully autonomous lethal weapons, according to a tally by the umbrella advocacy group Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. However, many others—particularly those with large militaries and major tech industries—are resistant to imposing too many limitations. The United States, for example, said it was "premature" to develop a definition of such weapons, and "said autonomous weapons could help improve guidance of missiles and bombs against military targets, thereby 'reducing the likelihood of inadvertently striking civilians,'" according to the Associated Press. Countries like China, Japan, America, Russia and India already pumping lots of millions in other to built advance robot, not just a robot but a killer robotic that is capable of killing human. In a short let's take a look at the advantages of the technology : It will reduces the level of dead in war, due to the view of the America and China and also some other develop countries, the main subject is to reduce the high risk in which the soldier partake on their mission, robot will be used in war which will only acquire just few used of human to partake, mostly in term of dissemination of bombs and many more. To my observation this set of question falls to my mind : Are we preparing for war? What will happen if this robot falls in the hand of wrong users? Will it come to pass that robot are going to take over and rule the humans? Let take a look at the deadly robot which are already on plan by each of the advance countries: 1.
