Poland is starting to worry Putin
A new missile defense base in Poland is causing Moscow to tremble.Located 230km from the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, it's provoking strong reactions from the Kremlin.
On Wednesday, the Redzikowo base was inaugurated in Poland, completing a system already present in Romania, Spain and Turkey. It forms part of a US ballistic missile defense system, including a network of missile interceptors and radars. This is a collective defense project of the Atlantic Alliance, which Washington set up 15 years ago. Its aim is to protect the Alliance “against ballistic missile threats emanating from outside the Euro-Atlantic area, notably from Iran”,according to BFMTV.
At a ceremony at the Redzikowo base, attended by US military chiefs and senior Polish officials, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, Poland's Minister of Defense, enthusiastically declared: “This is an event of historic importance for the security of Poland, the United States and Nato.”
Russia has always been hostile to NATO's deployment in Europe, fearing for its security. Despite NATO's assurances that this defense project doesn't target it in any way, Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, claims that it is “an advance of American military infrastructure in Europe towards our borders”which“will lead to appropriate measures being taken to ensure parity”.

NewsChina: Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology
China - November 26, 2024 Chinese scientists achieve breakthrough in hyper-spectral imaging technology (Voice_over) Chinese researchers have made a big leap in hyper-spectral imaging technology, which is used in sensors to rapidly and accurately recognize an object in a complex environment. Developed by researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology, the broadband hyper-spectral image sensors are equipped with advanced spectral chips and powered by AI algorithms. In one demonstration, researchers showed how the technology can be used to differentiate between a silicone face mask and a real human face. (Sound_bite) Wang Zhen, PhD student, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "Here is a facial mask made from silicon rubber that has a fundamental difference in spectral properties compared to our real human face. Through this difference, we can accurately detect and identify disguises." (Voice_over) The hyper-spectral device can simultaneously capture geometric information and dozens, even hundreds, of spectral bands, making it easy to differentiate between objects that look alike. (Sound_bite) Bian Liheng, Professor, BIT Center for Scientific Exploration in Complex Environment (BISC): "To capture spectral information across the full spectrum—from the three primary colors to hundreds of spectral bands—we need more materials for broadband spectral modulation. That's why we have developed over 100 materials that can modulate the incoming light across a broad spectrum. This enables us to collect light from hundreds of spectral bands onto a chip. When combined with intelligent algorithms, this chip-based technology integrates both hardware and software to form a powerful function." (Voice_over) The achievement has been published in the November 6th edition of the journal Nature. [Restriction: No access Chinese mainland]
