Every object in orbit could be an ASAT weapon.

 Every object in orbit could be an ASAT weapon. 

Researchers are worried. That China’s space-debris catcher can turn into an ASAT, an Anti-Satellite weapon. A debris catcher can also hijack other satellites. And that is the risk for national security. Satellites are vulnerable targets in modern warfare. They also play a key role in detecting enemies and providing communication datalinks and location services for both military and civilian services. The radar satellites can also detect their own troops if they carry a transponder that shows their location to radar satellites. The problem with radar satellites is that those satellites are easy to knock out. The ASAT missile can have similar systems what regular anti-radiation missile uses when it attacks regular targets. 

The drone swarms are things that require satellite-based communication and that advance and accelerate the development of anti-satellite weapons. In some models, high-power radars send EMP pulses against satellites. High-power radar impulses can destroy the satellite's electronics. Or the system can form an electric arc around the satellite. There are systems that push satellites into the atmosphere. In the Cold War era, the Soviets made so-called “Almaz” tests. where their satellites and Almaz-space stations, like Salyut 5, tested things like machine guns against satellites. There is a possibility that some miniature shuttles have ASAT roles in the military world. 

Things like Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems, FOBS, causes the need for rapid reaction ASAT systems that can take these kinds of things out from orbit. The Chinese space shuttle made a flight with groups of mysterious objects, and that could be the test. There, the shuttle releases  and collects FOBS weapons, “space mines,” from the orbiter. The space mine means the structure whose purpose is to close the orbiter. Sometimes, miniature satellites that the kevlar wires connect together are planned for that mission. The problem is that the space mine must be removed when own operations begin. The nukes that are positioned into the orbiter can also be used to destroy other satellites and create EMP pulses that purpose it take the defense systems out. 

Things like laser systems are used to blind satellites. But there have been systems created that can destroy a targeted satellite. Those lasers and other electromagnetic systems can have megawatt-scale power. The orbital laser-satellite, with similar lasers. Used in the metal industry can cut and damage other satellites' solar panels. 

This is one thing that we must realize. And the second thing is that every object in the orbiter is an ASAT weapon. The simplest ASAT system is the satellite that collides with another satellite. This makes micro-satellites a perfect weapon. They are tools that can observe other satellites, but they can also act as ammunition, when they collide with another satellite in the case of war. Another thing is that the simple but effective version of the kinetic energy weapons is the space shotgun. In some other versions, the system uses a giant net to capture and push the satellite out of its trajectory. 

The system uses a rocket engine. The system pumps metal balls to the nozzle. And then the exhaust gas will send those balls against the targeted satellites. Or the system can use Claymore mines. To shoot metal balls at targeted satellites. Or those satellites can rocket salvos against satellites. In some visions, the system can drive a large magnet that pulls ions from the Van Allen belt to the targeted satellites. In some versions, the regular rocket transports a large number of metal balls to the orbital trajectory, making it useless. 

The problem with the ASAT weapons is this. The orbital trajectory is full of debris. Things like debris-cleaners whose purpose is to remove space junk are also excellent ASAT systems. The satellite can be put in the plastic bag, made of mylar. And then the small satellite simply pulls it into the atmosphere. The flying garbage can that takes a satellite in the tank and returns it to the atmosphere is the thing that can hijack satellites. And that system can take them to the ground for investigations. The satellite hijackers can be used to steal data from the captured satellites. 

Things like manipulator arms are things. The system can be used to push other satellites into the atmosphere. And in some visions. The satellites that carry hypersonic parachutes for return and recycle their components can also capture other satellites into those parachutes and take their targets with them. The parachutes can make it possible to research the microchips' sustainability against cosmic radiation. The problem is that the directed energy plasmoid weapons can cause similar damage to the solar plasma flow. The plasmoid weapon can knock out other satellites. And those kinds of things can be misidentified, caused by  solar wind.

The Chinese new humanoid robot is impressive.

"Iron is designed to perform complex tasks in smart factories and retail environments." (Interesting Engineering, Iron: China’s humanoid robot gets supercomputer-like brainpower, eagle-eye vision)

The Chinese new humanoid robot is impressive. It has supercomputer brain power and eagle-eye vision. This kind of robot can operate in many roles at home.  The robot can also operate for companies. And the government. 

The humanoid robots can act as cleaners, painters, and personal assistants. There is the possibility that the observers can use those systems as intelligence and surveillance tools. 

The robot shares its sensory data with supercomputers over the networks. That allows the government or private eye to use that robot to read papers. And listen to discussions or act otherwise as a spy.

(https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/china-humanoid-robot-brainpower-eagle-eye-vision?group=test_b)

We should realize this wisdom. It is more important to think of things that manufacturers or salesmen didn't tell than things that they told. 

If the marketing text says that the robot is suitable for cleaning and other things, we must realize that this thing limits only regular, private users. The government plays in different ways. In China, the government might want to use those systems for espionage and recon missions. 

The fact is this. The humanoid robot can make everything that humans can. The robot can have the microphone in its hands. So it can hear discussions through the wall. The system must put its hand on the wall. Then it can eavesdrop on people on opposite sides. The eagle-eye vision means that the operator can use VR systems with the robot. Those systems make the operator see and hear the same thing. What robot sees and hears. Those robots can act in man

The humanoid robots are excellent tools for work as soldiers and assassination missions. The humanoid robot can have similar target recognition software to the Javelin missile. When the robot sees a target it can activate its shadow protocol. Then it can make the mission. And after that, the robot can clean its memories.

Robots, products, and national security.

Today, we face many social problems like chronic unemployment. This is the thing. That we can think of as easy to handle. The reason for that unemployment is that the manufacturing lines of some products are transferred to the Far East. The thing. That can bring manufacturing back is customs that make those products, made in those cheap-production countries more expensive than domestic productions. There are no things like labor unions and strikes in those cheap production countries. 

And we can think that the customs that protect work are the answer. That brings jobs back to the USA and other Western countries. But things like automatization cause problems. 

Robots cause situations in which manufacturing and rising order backlogs don't make any workplace. That is one of the things that we should realize when we talk about unemployment. AI-controlled robots can cause situations in which there are no workplaces for humans at all. 

But then we must realize some dirty things. When people buy things like electronic components, computers, drones, and mobile telephones from China. They cause danger to national security. One router can give access to the Internet. If some router has a back door that can open the net for hybrid influence teams from China and Russia. 

Our security standards don't consider that the manufacturers can infect some products purposely. We trusted that the manufacturers report on the malware cases that they see. We forget that all manufacturing in China happens under the control of the military and military intelligence. Chinese hackers stole many industrial secrets. And maybe some of those Chinese products are equipped with software that can open the gate to hackers. 

Manufacturers can pollute those high-tech products using some kind of malware program. That can open the back door to the Western data network. 

When we think about things like data security and malicious software we think that this kind of thing doesn't happen. We think that our networks and products are well-protected against the malware. But in that case, we forget. Companies or production plants that operate in China. Are under the control of Chinese authorities. That means that. The Chinese military authorities can put malicious code on the microchips. That is used in those high-tech products. 

Malicious software endangers national security. 

If vital components in data networks like GSM networks are infected that can send lots of data to China. And if there is some kind of kill-wire software it can shut down those components or even try to spread malware infection into the strategic, operative systems. Drones are not difficult to equip with image-recognition software. That makes it search and follow certain persons. The image recognition tool can also make drones home to certain targets. 

China builds the world's largest underwater drone.

"Smaller than regular diesel-electric submarines, China's latest vessel has torpedo tubes (Representational image)" (Interesting Engineering, China secretly building ‘world’s largest underwater drone’ with torpedo tubes)

The new Chinese submarine is smaller than the regular diesel-electric submarines. That means those vessels can be new and deadly drones. Those systems are larger than U.S. Navy Orca, autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV, systems. That makes those Chinese submarine drones more multipurpose than Orca. 

Researchers think that those new submarines can dock to the larger submarines and they can operate in various underwater missions. The submarine can carry smaller drones to the target. Those drones can be underwater caterpillars intelligent torpedoes, or underwater kamikaze drones. That submarine can be like matrioshka. There can be quadcopters that can operate airborne and underwater. 

They also have torpedo tubes, so they can attack other vessels like submarines and ground targets using missiles. And maybe. The Chinese military tests the robot combat swimmers which can operate like human combat swimmers. We all know the Chinese interest in robotics and its military applications. 

(Intersting Engineering, China secretly building ‘world’s largest underwater drone’ with torpedo tubes)

One version to make the submarine drone is to use human-shaped, humanoid robots as operators for regular submarines whose food and beds are replaced by computers. The thing is that the Chinese military and the state of China are not funding humanoid robot research just for fun. In China, nothing happens without military and governmental acceptance. 

Military applications are the primary objective in that country. And the AI-driven submarines are dangerous because they can act in both roles. They can have regular torpedos and missiles. But they can also carry internal warheads. That they can use as the last chance. The idea is that a very large internal warhead forms a giant tsunami that can destroy large areas in coastal lines. That kind of weapon can also destroy all naval and civil vessels in large ocean areas. 

That means those things can be very nasty tools. But those drones may only begin for more powerful and dangerous submarine drones. There are visions that maybe, quite soon, some state will bring full-scale nuclear submarine drones to oceans. Sometimes is speculated that the Russian Status-6, 100-megaton nuclear torpedo could be that kind of vessel. The submarine can navigate to its target using the ocean floor images in the sonar-based TERCOM system. 

And then they can shoot targets or they can explode nuclear warheads inside them. The nuclear submarine has space and nuclear reactors that can give energy to the supercomputers. And that means those submerged vehicles can operate independently. The gravity measurements along with ocean floor maps make them independent from satellite communication and satellite navigation.

Chinese researchers have made two interesting things using DNA.

 

"Scientists successfully created a bi-paternal mouse—born from two male parents—by modifying imprinting genes, overcoming key reproductive barriers in mammals. Though some mice lived to adulthood, they had developmental defects, were sterile, and had shortened lifespans, highlighting the challenges that remain in applying this technology. (Stock image)." (ScitechDaily, Defying Biology: Chinese Scientists Engineer Mouse With Two Male Parents)

 

Two steps to immortality.



In future the advanced genetics and biotechnology can make finish death in the form as we know it. It's possible. The person who dies can store memories in the net using neuro-implanted microchips. The system can make a clone of the body. And then transmit that data back to brains.

The new way to use DNA is the quantum computer. And the researchers made the lab-grown mouse using two males. Let's begin with mice that are created from the genes of two males. Researchers connected imprinted genes together. Then they modified those genes and used embryonic stem cell technology.

The mouse grew adult, but its lifespan was short. In this test, researchers used technology that is very new. Those modified genes injected into stem cells or eggs allowed that embryo to grow. This technology can turn into everyday technology in the future. But that is one of the things that researchers can do.

Researchers created the first bi-paternal mouse by modifying imprinting genes, advancing reproductive science but facing challenges like sterility and low survival rates."(ScitechDaily, Defying Biology: Chinese Scientists Engineer Mouse With Two Male Parents)

This kind of research is possible in China. Their state controls everything, and there is nothing wrong if researchers want to create the mice using two male mice. When we think about the ability to manipulate genomes and make identical mice clones the problem is how to create the first individual.

If researchers can create mice that grow in totally identical conditions that can offer a better chance to research the environmental effect on individuals. The ability to create mice that have no nervous system or that are born from stem cells that can be manipulated cancer cells can make it possible to make animal tests more humane. And that kinds of things are also interesting ways to make many things like theoretical plans for interstellar space travel. Another thing is this: cloned animals can save some species from extinction.

The use of DNA molecules in quantum computing as 3D and 2D structures is a new thing. The quantum system manipulates the nitrogen atoms and their spins using the nuclear energy resonance. That resonance turns the DNA molecule in the quantum computer. In this model. The system will not use the chemical form of the DNA as the data transport

.
"Scientists have taken a step toward DNA-powered quantum computers by using electric fields to control nuclear spins, unlocking new possibilities in computation and data storage. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Forget Silicon – DNA Might Be the Future of Quantum Computing)

The DNA in the quantum computers and chemical data storages.

The system uses DNA as the rack that keeps those nitrogen atoms in a stable position. In that electric version, DNA offers an interesting alternative to silicone. DNA is a tool that can replace many other things. DNA itself can act as a chemical qubit. In that model, the system can use microscopes and other sensors to detect the base that travels through the sensor gate.

The DNA is the tool that can make many things. The chemical version of the data transportation. The DNA travels in the nanotubes. The system detects each base adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). And each of those bases is one state of qubit. That would be a good and safe data transportation system for short distances. That kind of chemical qubits are interesting things. The DNA molecule can transport information safely. The system can also recycle those bases.

The nanomachines are things that can make things like custom DNA that offer the possibility to store large data storage. The computers can store data in the form of DNA and then that thing must transported into a stable, cold place where computers can take that data back into use. Maybe that kind of data storage is the reason for the journey to the Kuiper belt. Data storage can involve information about the person and the data about things that the person learned. This kind of thing is a step to immortality.

Researchers say that DeepSeek training costs were 1,3 billion, not 6 million.

When we talk about China and its authoritarian commanding system. We must realize. That the costs that authoritarian governments and companies that cooperate with them are what the government wants. In China, there is no business without government. The real costs of AI training might form in different ways in China than in Europe. Those ways might be different than we follow in Western countries. 

If governmental offices like intelligence and the People's Liberation Army participate in the AI projects. Those offices are not telling their salaries and costs. There is also suspicion that the Chinese military intelligence offered data, that it gets from hackers to that company. The DeepSeek follows the honorable road of hypersonic missiles and stealth fighters. That algorithm came from nowhere. 

Maybe some part of the code is developed using methods that will not accepted in Europe or other Western countries. The Chinese government uses hackers to steal data that it thinks to benefit it. And there is no way to resist the Chinese government, if and when it wants to participate in some AI project. 

And it's possible. Only the people. Those who are hired by a company. That markets the software take salaries from that work. The entire company can be coulisse. And the project itself is controlled by the People's Liberation Army, PLA. Or, would you download software that the developer is marked as  PLA or "National Police of China"? 

The company's purpose is to make the software or application more attractive. The other thing is this. It's possible. The Chinese government didn't even ask the DeepSeek needed its support. If DeepSeek says "no" that means the end of the business. 

As I wrote before, it's possible. The Chinese government's hackers gave information about DeepSeek. The hacking that happens under the Chinese government's control is suspected of being behind China's fast technological advance. And AI development is at a high level on government's priority. Chinese authorities are interested in the AI's military, intelligence, and surveillance applications. 

That means there is one way in China that developers must follow. That is if the government suggests something the only way to answer is "yes". Other answers cause problems in business. Or, the person who gives that wrong answer will transform to mine worker.

DeepSeek and its connections.

When you use DeepSeek you know what you use. The program runs on Chinese servers. And it must follow Chinese regulations.  That is the thing in every program. The system tells that it collects data, and that's it. That system is free to use. And that is one of the reasons why we should think about AI very seriously. In the case that somebody does something in China. There is a government behind or with that thing. 

If DeepSeek is freeware. There must be something that its competitors offer. Or Chinese company takes their customers. The question is: Where does the Chinese company behind the Deep Seek get money to pay workers their salaries? The free software doesn't bring money to the company. And that is a good thing to remember. So, DeepSeek is an interesting thing. I tested it. And it was quite an interesting experience. But it won't make images. So, that's why the image above was made using Gemini. 

There is a possibility that the Chinese want to pull rags from below Western AI companies. So, when the Chinese give their AI for free, nobody wants to pay the price. And that takes customers from Western AI companies and ends their research work. The DeepSeek is the tool that makes everything different. It uses powerful and advanced algorithms. 

And it's lightweight. The DeepSeek will make AI development more effective. It doesn't need the most advanced microchips. And that means it's easy to run on a little bit older hardware. Because the DeepSeek doesn't need the most powerful microchips. Is easy to use in countries where the newest microchips are not allowed to transport. That new AI boosts the AI advance on all fronts. The Western companies must have something to offer or their Chinese competitor will take their marketing position. 

The Chinese AI leaves the Western competitors behind.

When we start to use some new product, we must read what it does. Then we must find out what else that product does than its makers tell in commercials. Many times things that are not listed are more important than things that producers of the product tell to customer. The Trojan Horse is the spyware that plays some utility programs. Those programs include a hidden algorithm that dumps the hard disk and net traffic into the net. 

The new and hot thing in the AI business is the Chinese DeepSeek. That artificial intelligence runs on lighter platforms than Western competitors. And that makes it interesting. The fact is that the Chinese AI runs on Chinese servers. Which means that thing has connections with Chinese official policy. DeepSeek has one similarity with the other Chinese innovations. That means the DeepSeek seems to come from nowhere. There was nothing before the publishing. 

And then suddenly the most innovative AI in the world is reality. Sometimes somebody can say that there is suspicion that the Chinese hackers stole the code for the AI, which is similar to other AI's. That thing means that the China took a big step in AI. But the thing that the Chinese seek might be a surveillance tool that can follow and map Chinese citizens. 

The DeepSeek might be only one part of the AI development program in the East. That AI might have the "evil twin" that makes the next-generation hacking tool possible. The advanced AI is a tool that can serve military purposes. The highly advanced algorithms can remove databases from the hard disks. That makes the AI itself is weapon. 

The new road for AI is that it turns very important thing. The AI can generate virus code very fast. And that's why AI can support other systems. But the fact is that. Chinese AI programs are not possible without the government's acceptance. 

The government in China wants to use AI as an intelligence and control tool. There are no limits to the information collection in China if it serves the government's and state interests. AI is a tool that can revolutionize the Chinese control policy and their hacking- or cyber espionage projects. And that is one of the things that we must realize. China and its government know its value and power in the world.

The Chinese military has started to use 3D printing drones.

"China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is testing a system aided by 3D printing and drone deliveries to help the forces repair their equipment in remote locations or during wartime. The PLA is potentially testing this capability."(Interesting Engineering/China combines 3D printing and drones to support troops in combat zones)

"According to the reports, the testing was carried out by a brigade belonging to the PLA’s Northern Theatre Command Air Force." (Interesting Engineering/China combines 3D printing and drones to support troops in combat zones)

This comes just months after the United States Army tried to get this capability and demonstrate it on the front lines.

The 3D printing drones are tools that can make repairings for damaged tools. Those systems can theoretically form any physical form. The drones require only drawings that they should follow. They can make even ships and large-scale structures. 

The 3D printing technology. Along with AI and remote control printers. 

The remote-printing tools can give civil and military users new types of flexibility. The smaller 3D printing system can be mounted in the truck.

And it can create things like drones if it has the microchips for those systems. The high-temperature system can use carbage metals or plastic carbage for the spare parts of the damaged drones. 

The system can create propellers and other parts by using waste. The system melts the waste and then transforms it into the wire, that the 3D system uses. And then. Those systems can create anything that the military needs. The system can melt metals using lasers or some microwave systems, and those tools can be more effective than nobody realizes. 

The air bubbles in the system make those machine parts and other types of 3D-printed items weak. The vacuum workspace and other kinds of things that deny the gas impact on the machine parts remove those bubbles. 

(SCMP.com/ China’s military tests remote 3D printed parts and drone delivery for battlefield: report)

(Interesting Engineering/China combines 3D printing and drones to support troops in combat zones)

The system can use lasers and high-power 3D X- or gamma-ray scanners to search the material errors. The centrifugal sling can separate those raw materials. And the shape of those AI-controlled highly advanced factories can be like a group of containers. Those 3D printing factories can be the systems that emulate living cells and form anything that the users want. 

And spectroscopes to remove artifacts from the raw materials. That allows those systems to create things like guns and other things. Like jet engine spare parts on the battlefield. The 3D printer requires the drawings and material lists from the central computers. 

If there are suitable melting systems and drones those kinds of systems can collect needed materials from their environment. And then. That 3D printing system can create needed things by following orders that the system operators give. This kind of manufacturing system is the most advanced in the world. 

The flexibility is the reason why those systems are planned to be used in space programs. Space drones, or highly maneuverable systems can fix damaged satellites and space stations. 

The space drone is the system there propellers of the regular drones are replaced with rocket engines. Or there can be the rocket. There is a platform that can aim the rocket jet to the sides of the chamber. And when the system inclines that platform it can turn the rocket jet in the wanted direction. That kind of rocket can give orbital drones very accurate movement.

New Chinese weapons are terrifying.

The Chinese nuclear submarines can launch long-range submarine-launched ballistic missiles, SLBMs, quite soon. Those new weapons are equipped with new nuclear warheads that can have hypersonic glide capacity. That means that the very high-power medium-range DF-17 with hypersonic glide vehicle, HGV called DF-ZF. 

Can fitted to those new nuclear submarines. The thing is that those hypersonic systems are deadly tools. The DF-ZF gliders can also mount to the longer-range ballistic missiles. And Chinese can use them against aircraft carriers and other targets that can be far away from the coastlines. The long-range hypersonic missiles can be the top priority in Chinese military doctrine. 

The idea is that those land-based conventional- or nuclear missiles can be tools that can threaten enemy forces around China. But crews of those systems stay under control. The hypersonic missile can also use the kinetic energy. The speed of those weapons is so high, that they are dangerous without warheads. The speed of a hypersonic drone can be four times higher than famous GAU-8 cannon ammunition. 

And their mass is many times higher than the 30 mm. uranium ammunition. The hypersonic missiles are a big threat. The ability to install those weapons into nuclear submarines is the next step to raise the Chinese fleet strike capacity. The technical advances in the Chinese military have been faster than anybody predicted. 

The next step in that case will be that China will modernize its nuclear submarine fleet. That means China will replace its old, noisy diesel-electric submarines with new nuclear-powered systems. The new innovative propulsion like plasma-pulse engines will give those submarines very powerful attack and stealth capacity. 

Above: Chinese mobile launcher DF-17 with DF-ZF (WU-14) Hypersonic Glide Vehicle.

The electromagnetic rail guns and other new weapons give that military force a new way to complete things like amphibious missions. The intensive hacking and intelligence work might make the new advancements possible. The thing is that China will want to become a global superpower. 

The problem with the Chinese military is that the Chinese economy and entire society are harnessed to serve the People's Liberation Army, PLA. That means that the Chinese military is the center of the China. This means there is no similar resourcing in the West that breaks the investments into the PLA's strike capacity. 

The fast-advancing technology in the Chinese military causes problems with NATO. The U.S. military has problems focusing its newest technology in the case of crises. That started at the same time in Asia and Europe. The elder F-16 and F/A-18 might have problems with Chinese J-20 multirole fighters and the new hypersonic strike capacity. In the same way, this new strike capacity forces the U.S. and its allies to put more money into more expensive military systems. 

That means the Western military grows old faster than we expect. The new advances in quantum computing give the Chinese military forces new ways to make powerful new tools like new stealth bombers and fighters along with new hypersonic stealth missiles that can give powerful surprise attacks. To any target around the world.

The new Chinese drones can be frightening tools.

"Scientists have addressed most of the technical challenges related to the new laser drone. "(Representational image) (InterestingEngineering, China: Drones equipped with new tech to emit metal-cutting laser beams)

The new Chinse nasty drone creates metal-cutting laser beams. That kind of drone can be a real game changer in the military and civil work. The metal-cutting lasers can destroy many targets. But they can also used in civil work like cutting metals in demolition sites. Those drones can also bulldoze the metals away from the accident zone. 

But as we know. Metal-cutting drones are multi-use equipment. The same drone can cut the cannon tubes. Aim their metal-cutting lasers at ammunition dumps or communication antennas. They can cut airplane wings and cut power lines. Those drones are perfect tools for assassination missions. High-power carbon monoxide lasers are dangerous tools in the wrong hands. 

"An illustration of China's secretive Shenlong space plane in orbit. (Image credit: Erik Simonsen via Getty Images)" (LiveScience, China's secret space plane has released another unknown object over Earth)

Sources: LiveScience and Gizmodo

In December 2023 and July 2024. The Chinese top secret miniature shuttle Shenlong released so-called wingman objects. Those objects can be the transportation and return tanks for quadcopters that can make many missions on the battlefield and other missions. The satellite-controlled quadcopters can be released into the atmosphere and then the return capsule releases those quadcopters at the right altitude. 

The Chinese shuttle orbiter can drop those drones to operational areas. It's possible. The small silent or passive objects near the Chinese miniature shuttle were the transportation capsules for those quadcopters. The nuclear isotope batteries make those drones capable even of intercontinental operations. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is a tool that gives those drones even years of operational ability. And that gives those drones the capacity to travel all around the Earth. 

The power of those lasers can be enormous. In comparison to their size, multiple drones aim their lasers at one point. The system can also use the lead ray. Which is more powerful than the laser rays that other drones transmit into it. 

That system works like crossing water flows. The more powerful laser ray pulls other laser rays with it. That thing means that the system that uses quite small lasers can create quite powerful laser beams by connecting multiple laser beams together. The system looks like a little bit of a Death Star's laser system. 

The metal-cutting drones can cut holes into the submarine's pressure hulls and they can make damage to rockets. The thing that makes those drones problematic is that they can also have a role in civil work. In some visions, the drones have 3D printing systems that can make metal structures. Lasers can used to melt metal wire for the system. 

And they can be used to finish the layers. It's possible that in the futuristic shipyards, those quadcopters can build even large-scale structures. The thing is that those laser drones are the tools that can operate even on other planets. The drone swarms with artificial intelligence can be used for many purposes. But. Those laser drones can be the tool that can destroy many high-priority targets.

Chinese new stealth fighters cause worries.

Chinese new stealth fighters Shenyang J-35 and Chengdu J-20 worry for Western air forces. The problem is that the J-35 A looks similar to the F-35. The stealth aircraft are highly advanced weapons. Most of the data is used in those planes. And their development is highly classified. The thing that something looks like stealth doesn't mean that the stealth technology is successfully operating. 

But the sad fact is that. Everything is open. Before those fighters faced the Western fighters. Those aircraft might lose to the F-35 or F-22, but they could be effective against elder Western fighters. That means those aircraft are a threat to the U.S. and its allies' dominance in highly advanced military systems. The thing is that the drone swarms are not alone in the answer to threats. Drone swarms are one of the new weapons.

 However, the future is the hybrid solution where jet fighters or high-speed strategic bombers can cooperate with manned and unmanned systems. The jetfighters can drop drones or drone swarms into their operational areas.

The race between systems and counter-systems is endless. The ultimate system faces ultimate counter systems. The F-117 was once invincible, But then time went past them. The new solutions were more effective than the primitive solutions in F-117. 

They can prowl on aircraft when they come home from the mission and detonate their explosives on the wings. Or they can observe the strike. The problem is that EMP weapons can destroy those drones. 

Those drones can search the targets for cruise missiles and maybe they can destroy things like command links and why not bigger targets? The thing is that the Chinese and Russians are learning the lessons from the Ukraine war. And that means there are lots of systems that are developed in those countries. 

The future of the battlefield is one of the hardest-predicted things in the world. The military world is changing extremely fast. And things like AI and other things are coming to make their advancement to every system in the world.

The tiger awakens.

The new and powerful technology is the tool, that is one of the most dangerous things in the wrong hands. Wrong hands are our counter-players in the global theater. The image in the middle of the text introduces the new Chinese large-size sea drone. The robot ship can be the tool for next-generation naval power. The ship itself looks like some kind of yacht, but it's armed and dangerous. Fast and powerful sea drones that use things like Mach-6-10 railguns are feared things. 

The Chinese military is interested in AI. It is a tool that can make many systems more trusted than manned systems. The problem with manned submarines. A and warships is that they are out of control when they are at sea. That is problematic for the People's Republic of China. The authoritarian communist party causes hate, and especially new high-accurate weapons make warships dangerous for the nation's leaders. The Chinese military has modernized its weapons and other systems. The new tools are large-scale surface and underwater drones. 

"China unveils ‘Killer Whale’ stealth drone ship. The vessel which has a range of more than 7,000km will go on display alongside a collection of aerial drones at the Zhuhai air show" (SCMP, China unveils ‘Killer Whale’ stealth drone ship"

Those large- or full-size surfaces and underwater robots are following predictions. The large-size warships and nuclear submarines have space and electricity for highly advanced computers. That the AI is required to control those systems. The predictions about the full-size nuclear submarine drones that can patrol years underwater were made over 20 years ago. Those nuclear submarines can host any supercomputers. 

"A new photo has emerged of China’s mysterious stealthy corvette or light frigate, an intriguing design with low-observable features, which you can read more about here. In fact, the latest photo raises more questions than it answers, in particular, the presumed HQ-10 surface-to-air missile launcher at the rear of the deckhouse apparently being something else entirely." (TWZ.com, Our Best Look At China’s Stealthy Experimental Corvette)

The new robot surface combatants are a demonstration of the ideas and innovations. The People's Liberation Army wants to introduce the Western navies. When it demonstrates its power. The Chinese military uses industrial spying to steal information. That makes it possible to create new tools for the PLA. The PLA's new stealth corvette looks very much like Swedish Visby class corvettes. The thing is that things like magnetic rail guns that accelerate the ammunition to the speed of Mach 6-10 are things that make those corvettes deadlier than any Western vessels. Those railguns can sweep bunkers out from the beach and damage even large vehicles. 

"China’s rail gun sends smart bomb into stratosphere at hypersonic speed, then something goes wrong. Winged projectile achieves Mach 5, reaching altitude of 15km in test but was sent off course by rotation speeds, investigation shows. Lu Junyong and his team identified the cause of the problem with the help of artificial intelligence and propose solutions in peer-reviewed paper" (SCMP. China’s rail gun sends smart bomb into stratosphere at hypersonic speed, then something goes wrong)

The underwater systems that can shoot missiles, including hypersonic missiles are a very bad threat to Western navies. Those, possibly, nuclear-powered systems can hide underwater even years. And then they can also wait at the enemy, or predict enemy coasts to attack. The large-size robots can carry smaller robots that can slip into the enemy area. 

The new advanced systems are tools that can bring global politics and U.S. support to a critical point. The new advanced systems require more advanced counter systems than predicted. This means that the Pentagon must share also its latest equipment with the Far East and European theaters.
