Zitat von Beowulf

Schon etwas älter aber dennoch bezeichnend:

Für den Bau der insgesamt 426 Kilometer langen Neubaustrecken Würzburg – Hannover und Stuttgart – Mannheim gingen geschlagene 17 Jahre ins Land. In China dagegen wurden im gleichen Zeitraum mehr als 20.000 Kilometer an Schnellfahrstrecken aus dem Boden gestampft! Und im Januar 2022 war zu lesen, dass das chinesische Schnellfahrstreckennetz inzwischen auf sage und schreibe 40.000 Kilometer angewachsen ist.

Trident Royalties PLC Announces Portfolio Update: Thacker Pass Lithium Royalty

https://www.accesswire.com/768…cker-Pass-Lithium-Royalty
LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2023 / Trident Royalties Plc (AIM:TRR), the diversified mining royalty company, is pleased to note a recent ruling by the 9^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals relating to an appeal seeking to overturn the federal land managers' approval of the Thacker Pass lithium project ("Thacker Pass" or the "Project"), in Nevada.¹
A three-panel judge of the San Francisco-based appellate court rejected the arguments the opponents had put forth in their appeal and ruled that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which approved Thacker Pass, had acted "reasonably and in good faith".
Lithium Americas Corp ("LAC"), the operator of Thacker Pass, announced that construction of the mine commenced in March 2023.² Thacker Pass is targeting 80,000 tonnes per annum ("tpa") of battery-quality lithium carbonate ("Li2CO3") production capacity in two phases of 40,000 tpa, respectively ("Phase 1" and "Phase 2"). Phase 1 production is expected to commence in the second half of 2026.
Trident holds a 60% interest in a gross revenue royalty over the entirety of Thacker Pass. Assuming LAC exercises the partial royalty buy-back (US$13.2 million attributable to Trident), then Trident will retain the equivalent of a (net) 1.05% gross revenue royalty.

Zitat von Polkrich

Unterwasserdrohnen.....von den ukrainischen Häfen am schwarzen Meer. Warum nicht.

Welche wirksamen Abwehrwaffen gibt es denn seit 100 Jahren gegen feindliche Präzisionsangriffe?
Ich will nicht ausschließen, daß hier ein gewisser russischer Schlendrian mitursächlich war, aber sollten die Russen Panzir, S400 und Gatlings (3K87) auf der Brücke installieren?

von Igor Strelkov alias Igor Girkin

Ein weiterer erfolgreicher Angriff der ukrainischen Streitkräfte auf die Krim-Brücke war aufgrund von zwei Faktoren unvermeidlich.

Der erste ist politischer Natur und hängt mit der Politik der "Abkommen" mit der Ukraine und ihren Verbündeten zusammen, die der Kreml und Präsident Wladimir Putin persönlich aktiv zu betreiben versuchen. Der "Getreide-Deal" erlaubte es der Ukraine, halbtauchende Kamikaze-Drohnen von der Küste bei Odessa sowie von Seefrachtschiffen, die diesen Deal vom Schwarzen Meer aus anbieten, zu starten. Erleichtert wird dies auch durch ein faktisches Verbot von Angriffen auf ukrainische Verkehrsverbindungen sowie auf Produktionsanlagen, die an der Herstellung ukrainischer Mykola-3-Meeresdrohnen beteiligt sind, und auf Energieanlagen, die diese Unternehmen mit Energie versorgen.

Der zweite Faktor ist militärisch-technischer Natur. Die russische Armee verfügt nicht über Waffensysteme, die in der Lage wären, die halbtauchenden Kamikaze-Drohnen erfolgreich zu bekämpfen. Hunderte von Rüstungsbetrieben und Forschungsinstituten wurden im Rahmen der größten Deindustrialisierung der Weltgeschichte seit 30 Jahren absichtlich zerstört. Infolgedessen gingen Tausende von Technologien verloren, und in dieser Hinsicht liegen wir bereits Jahrzehnte hinter den fortgeschrittenen Ländern zurück.

Für einen erfolgreichen Kampf gegen halbuntergetauchte Kamikaze-Drohnen ist deren rechtzeitige Entdeckung mittels weltraum- und luftfahrttechnischer Aufklärung notwendig.
Unsere Raumfahrtgruppe ist jedoch zahlenmäßig extrem klein und kann diese Aufgabe nicht erfüllen.

Unsere Marinefliegerei ist mehr tot als lebendig. Um diese Drohnen rechtzeitig aufzuspüren und Kampfflugzeuge auf sie zu richten, muss der Luftraum über dem Schwarzen Meer rund um die Uhr von U-Boot-Patrouillenflugzeugen patrouilliert werden, die mit modernen Radargeräten zur Erkennung von Oberflächen- und Unterwasserobjekten ausgestattet sind. Der Presse zufolge verfügen wir jedoch nur über 22 veraltete U-Boot-Flugzeuge vom Typ Il-38 und etwa 20 Tu-142 in der Nord- und Pazifikflotte. Sie alle entsprechen in ihren taktischen und technischen Merkmalen nicht den heutigen Anforderungen und sind den modernen amerikanischen Boeing P-8 Poseidon U-Boot-Abwehrflugzeugen, von denen nur die Vereinigten Staaten 128 und Dutzende ihrer Verbündeten besitzen, deutlich unterlegen. Darüber hinaus ist nicht bekannt, ob die veraltete Radarausrüstung unserer Il-38 und Tu-142 in der Lage sein wird, kleine, halbtauchfähige Kamikaze-Drohnen wirksam zu erkennen. Die Lieferung neuer Anti-U-Boot-Flugzeuge für die russische Armee ist nicht einmal geplant.

Ein weiteres wirksames Mittel zur Aufspürung halbtauchfähiger Kamikaze-Drohnen sind luftgestützte Frühwarn- und Kontrollflugzeuge (AWACS), die Ziele auf dem Meer leicht aufspüren können. Aber selbst damit haben wir große Probleme. Unsere neun veralteten Flugzeuge vom Typ A-50 (A-50U), die in den 1980er Jahren hergestellt wurden, sind aufgrund ihrer geringen Anzahl nicht in der Lage, den gesamten Bedarf der Streitkräfte zu decken, und wir verfügen nicht über die Produktion neuer AWACS-Flugzeuge.

Und ohne die technische Fernerkennung von halbtauchenden Kamikaze-Drohnen und den anschließenden gezielten Einsatz von Kampfflugzeugen ist eine wirksame Bekämpfung dieser Drohnen "an fernen Grenzen" unmöglich.

Es bleiben nur passive Bekämpfungsmöglichkeiten - die Sperrung der Straße von Kertsch mit Masten, die sich bereits in den Jahren des Ersten Weltkriegs zur Bekämpfung von U-Booten bewährt haben. Nach dem heutigen Angriff zu urteilen, fehlen sie in der Meerenge von Kertsch. Warum eigentlich? Gibt es unter den Bedingungen des Krieges im Zusammenhang mit dem Eintritt der russischen Gruppierung an die Küste des Asowschen Meeres und seiner Umwandlung in ein Binnenmeer der Russischen Föderation einen großen Seeverkehr vom Schwarzen Meer zum Asowschen Meer und umgekehrt? Ist es wirklich unmöglich, diesen Verkehr vorübergehend vollständig zu unterbinden und damit die Krimbrücke zumindest vor den Schlägen der halbtauchenden Kamikaze-Drohnen zu schützen?

Ich bin mir sicher, dass sich jetzt viele meiner Leser die Frage stellen werden: "Was hat Putin damit zu tun?". Ich hoffe, dass die meisten Menschen diese Frage nicht stellen.

New Mali mining law could boost state, local interest in projects to 35%
https://www.miningweekly.com/a…projects-to-35-2023-07-14
Mali's military-led government is in talks with gold miners over proposed changes to its mining law that could see it boost state and private Malian interests in new projects to 35%, from up to 20% today, according to a draft of the new code seen by Reuters.The government announced the review of the mining code in January after it said an internal audit had shown that Mali, one of Africa's biggest gold producers, was not receiving a fair share of profits while granting too many tax breaks...
