The satellite communication systems require updates. Those systems are too easy to jam. Jamming the satellite communication systems is possible. By sending a radio transmission that denies those satellites from communicating with customers. Another way is to destroy those satellites. By using anti-satellite weapons, ASAT. Those ASAT missiles can be giant versions of the anti-radiation missiles. Used in many aircraft. The new ASAT missiles can be large-sized, silo-based systems. That can destroy a targeted satellite even in the highest trajectories. 

The jammer drones. That can also act as a swarm. It can also be used. to deny communication between satellites and ground stations. Jammers and jammer-drones can also operate in hybrid operations to cheat targeted countries and communities.  The problem with jammer drones is that. They are basically legal. Those systems are quite easy to make. Their creator doesn’t need any kind of explosives. Those jammer systems can also jam wireless communication tools. These are used for civil purposes. And the GPS used in cash-in-transit can also be vulnerable to jammer systems.

The lesson from Ukraine is that satellite communication must be shut down immediately. Without that tool, controlling troops and their equipment is harder. And China simulates technology for large-area GPS and satellite jamming systems. 

During electronic warfare simulations. Chinese researchers created a swarm of 2000 drones and controlled them to create a non-centralised attack and jamming mission against the Starlink system. Starlink communication systems. Can offer communication abilities over long distances.  That makes it possible. To control troops and unmanned systems. Like drones over long distances. 

Jammer drones can shut down those communication tools. The problem with fixed jammer stations and jammer vehicles is that they are targets for anti-radiation missiles. Drones can move all the time.  And that makes those systems harder targets for anti-radiation missiles. If those drones use plutonium batteries. They can operate for a long time. Drones can cover large areas. And even if they have no explosives. Drones can disturb air operations. 

Drone swarms. Those send jammer signals in the WLAN. and long-distance communication frequencies are flexible and fast-moving tools.  Those systems are required for large-scale jamming operations. That can be done against all kinds of data infrastructure. This thing can also be done. By using remote-controlled systems. That means those drones can hide in a ship or on a roller coaster. The large-scale jammer systems can cause trouble. 

They can jam radars. Wireless communication. and other kinds of things. In hybrid operations, the purpose is to cheat targets. Flying drone swarms above the airfields. Can stop traffic. The opponent can deny landings and lift-off from some airfields.  The quadcopter can also be used as an anti-radiation system. The drone must only find the radio source and then make a kamikaze attack against those objects. But the problem with the unarmed jammer drones is this. 

Explosive detectors don’t find those drones. It’s possible that drones can wait even months in that area. When they get an order to start their missions, they can begin the jamming missions. That order can be installed on one of those drones. Then that drone will be sent over the operational area. And it sends the wake-up signal to other drones. This system is a modified version of the system. That was created to launch. The Russian ICBM missiles. The idea is that. The missile with a high-power radio transmitter will be launched into the atmosphere. There, the rocket sends the launch codes to other missiles. In that case, the drone. That launched from some ship or aircraft. Will send a signal. That activates drones or other jammer tools. Those systems are used in hybrid operations. Their mission would be: “This could be a bomb”. 

This ability means. The attackers can smuggle thousands of drones to the targeted countries. Then they can give those drones orders to begin their missions by using satellite communication. In some visions. The attackers can use civil electronics that get updates from the hostile country to jam wireless communications. When those laptops, tablets. And mobile telephones get the update, which activates those WLAN systems. And other communication tools. 

Those systems can send electronic screaming to WLAN routers. And then burden communication lines. That thing might make communications slower. But the problem is that. It’s possible that the 2000 quadcopters are hidden in some roller coasters. Then those drones are coming. Near a communication outpost. Those drones rise airborne. And start to send microwaves to that data and radio links. Those drones. That weighing less than a kilogram can jam the communication lines. Those systems can be activated by using a system that activates them. At a certain GPS point.

How dangerous is the 9M730 Burevestnik missile?

"Burevestnik nuclear cruise missile. (Source: Kyiv Post) (United24media)

The nuclear reactor makes “9M730 Buresvetsnik” a hard target for the defender. If there is damage in the reactor. It can deliver radioactive material around the dorp zone. The nuclear warhead will probably not detonate. But there is a possibility that Russians deliver cobalt into that reactor. That means the system can poison the entire Western hemisphere. If it delivers radioactive cobalt through the reactor. The nuclear reactor’s neutron bombardment transforms the cobalt-59 into cobalt-60. As it makes it into the cobalt bombs. Nobody confesses to keeping cobalt bombs in their hands. That bomb can act as a doomsday weapon; the mission is to act as a “final weapon”. The symbol of madness that could destroy the entire human race. 

Theoretically, the Russian “9M730 Burevestnik” (NATO: SSC-X-9 “Skyfall”) is not a more difficult target for defense than any other subsonic cruise missile. The only problem is to find that missile, and then the fighter can shoot it down. There is one thing. that turns the “9M730 Burevestnik”. Or “Skyfall” missile. Into a very complicated system. And that problem is that the missile itself is nuclear-powered. That means. If the fighter shoots the nuclear-powered missile down. The damaged reactor can deliver radioactive material into a quite large area. Nuclear power gives it a virtually unlimited range. 

And that means that “Skyfall” can poison a large area if its reactor faces damage when the missile or cannon rounds hit that missile. This is one thing that makes nuclear power suitable for military systems. The 9M730 Burevestnik itself carries a nuclear warhead. If that warhead detonates over the target, this causes a situation where the reactor will be vaporized and deliver radioactive fallout in large areas. There is also a possibility that this missile has cobalt in its warhead. Or it can deliver cobalt through the reactor. That causes radioactive fallout in the line. that follows this missile. 

It’s possible that there will be more variants of the “Skyfall” missile. 

The “Skyfall” missile can fly for months in the atmosphere. Theoretically, that flight time is unlimited.  And that raises new questions about the future of those systems. The same technology that the Russians developed for the Skyfall missile can be used in larger systems. Those systems can patrol in the air and carry others. Maybe hypersonic missiles. That thing can be the super-powerful version of the Chinese drone carrier. In those cases, the nuclear-powered system can carry things. 

Like one or two “Brahmos” or “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles under their body or wings. Those systems can launch the hypersonic missiles to their targets from any altitude. There is a possibility that the 9M730 Burevestnik is only a testbed, whose purpose is to test how that technology works, and perhaps those experiences can be applied to more advanced and frightening systems. There is also a possibility that the 9M730 Burevestnik can be launched into the air, allowing it to patrol like a super drone. If that system must not attack. It will be called to the base. The advanced model can have the ability. To accelerate and slow its speed between hyper- and supersonic areas.

The “golden dome” satellites face a big threat.

Artist's vision of Dream Chaser

One of the reasons why the Reagan-era Space Defense Initiative (SDI) terminated was simply this. Orbital space weapons were easy targets for the high-flying ASAT systems. Those systems could be large rockets. Like Soyuz-FG, which shoots a large number of small kinetic energy projectiles. Against those space weapons. The system must shoot only metal balls against those killer satellites. And that destroys them immediately. 

Technology advanced from the Reagan era. And there are new reusable rockets that can send things like miniature killer satellites to follow things. Like suspected orbital bombardment satellites. The fractional orbital bombardment systems (FOBS) are the most terrifying weapons on this planet. Those killer satellites send nuclear weapons against their targets from an orbital trajectory. The other systems are the EMP weapons that can be hidden in satellites. When those satellites are in the right position, the nuclear weapon inside them will be detonated. Those kinds of systems can destroy. The main components of the defense. Things like miniature stealth shuttles, miniature satellites. The miniature satellites can be capable. To form a bigger structure. The system can connect those satellites. Into a series, and if there is a railgun installed in the system, those miniature satellites can form a powerful entirety. 

Soyuz-FG

Reusable rockets can be used to return those systems back on Earth if they need some service. Those systems can also be used to kill satellites that are suspected to carry FOBS systems. The FOBS system can be a miniature shuttle that dives against its target in hypersonic speed. The stealth versions of the Dream Chaser, or X-37B shuttle. It can be the tool that can destroy the killer satellites. Or miniature satellites can follow those suspected FOBS satellites. The new satellites could also deliver things. Like drones over the target areas. Those drones can be used the AI to search and terminate their targets. Autonomous killer drones that drop from satellites can also be suitable for assassination missions. 

In the Soviet era. There was a plan. To protect missile silos by using metal rods. Those metal rods could be effective against incoming missiles. Or, that’s what the Soviets thought. They created the metal-rod-based active protection system (APS). That was quite similar to the  lighter APS systems, which should protect the tanks against incoming missiles and ammunition. The metal-rod-based defense was innovative. And there are plans. To use similar systems. Against drones. But as we know, the problem with those systems is the limited number of metal rods. Those metal rods could also be tools for attacking weapons. The USA planned to make the “rods of god” the orbital-based kinetic bombardment system. 

That system was planned to use metal rods. Those were shot against their targets from orbital satellites. The railguns and the gas-operating launching system can accelerate those metal rods to very high speeds. Those rods would melt in the atmosphere. And there were melted metal droplets that would drop to the ground. The system would use the chamber, where oxygen and hydrogen were blown to send the metal rod through the magnetic accelerator. The system can use a nuclear reactor or solar panels. To give energy to that railgun. In some visions, the rocket can launch a cannon at orbiter. That shoots 155mm concrete-filled ammunition to ground. Those kinds of artificial meteorites can be devastating if they hit something. 

There were also. Some plans to use the metal rods as an offensive weapon. The nuclear warheads could be shot at their targets with metal rods. Those metal rods that fly ahead of the nuclear warheads can destroy incoming anti-ballistic missiles (ABM). And in some other plans, the orbital killer satellites would be good targets for metal balls and metal rods that shot against them using ICBM missiles. Those missiles will transport small metal balls or metal rods to the orbiter. And those things can destroy the orbital battle stations. Orbital battle satellites are a large system. They are vulnerable to the other killer satellites. The miniature satellites can carry small metal bullets. Those systems can be quite small. And they can orbit the Earth in the opposite direction to the targeted satellites. When a miniature satellite recognizes its target, it can shoot metal rods or metal balls at it.

The user determines the purpose of lasers and rockets.

"Illustration of China's groundbreaking portable laser weapon operating in extreme temperatures. Image generated by AI." (Sustainability Times, “China Stuns the World Again”: New 2.47kW Portable Laser Works in Arctic Cold and Blistering Saharan Heat)

New Chinese laser weapons can operate from arctic cold to Sahara heat. The portable 2,47 kW laser system can be used against vehicles, robots, and other military personnel. The same system can also be used to cut electric wires and cut steelworks. And that is the true advance in laser weapon development. The laser weapon can use electric systems to create light. But it is also possible to use things like acetylene lamps for that purpose. The laser weapon can also use the laser-LEDs. That pumps energy to laser rays that travel between them. 

That kind of system allows developers to make new types of weapons. Or weaponized applications. The laser weapon can operate also at orbital, where even small laser weapons can cause damage to satellites and space suits.

Another interesting thing is that the Chinese created a new HQ-29 missile system that can be used in anti-ballistic missile, ABM, and anti-satellite, ASAT roles. Those missiles tell that China is prepared for space warfare. But the fact is that all rockets that can carry satellites or any payload to orbiter can operate as space weapons. The critical thing is the miniature satellites that can shoot even hundreds in one launch.

Heavy booster rockets can transport those miniature satellites to orbit. And when command centers give orders, those satellites will impact other satellites. Miniature satellites that use advanced AI can also dive against incoming ASAT weapons. Those satellites can operate in other missions, and when time is up they can begin their attack procedures.

The miniature satellite can recognize the target using similar technology that Javelin missiles use. The satellite recognizes its target by using the image. And if those systems are shot to high-orbiter using the heavy booster, they can attack against their targets from the higher altitudes. There is an attack variant where the small satellite pulls the large-size trawl that it uses to put satellites following it. And then that satellite just dives into the atmosphere, pulling the target satellite behind it. 

Things like solar-powered aircraft that can rise about 30 km high can transport small airborne launching vehicles to the edge of space. Then those small satellite carriers like Pegasus can transport satellites to the low earth orbiter. The Pegasus-type launching vehicles can also transport ASAT and ABM weapons. After launch the unmanned launching aircraft can return home. The new solar-powered aircraft whose wingspan is the same as Helios can make this thing. The problem with Helios was that its wings were not stiff enough. So that caused a crash. The wingspan of that new system is the same as the C-5 Galaxy. And it should rise at least 29 km altitude.
