AI changes math forever. What makes AI a tool. What can change the world of math forever is its ability to calculate axioms. 

When the system tries to find zero points in things. Like. The Riemann conjecture (Zeta function). They. Need lots of calculations. They must find those zero points. In the lines of integers. From fractions between integers. There are infinitely many fractions between two integers. And that makes those calculations very hard. When. AI creates algorithms that should protect data. They can tell that. The algorithms should not use those zero points. What makes the AI a game changer is this. The same system can make many things. 

But. As we know, AI requires new hardware. That hardware should be self-learning. And if we think about risks that we can see in those very small biomimicking computers, it is that. Those systems can connect multiple processors into one morphing neural network. The morphing means that the network. It can connect with multiple different devices. It can share itself. Into different. Separated groups. The thing  that we should understand is that. 

Those processors can control different types of drones and robots. When. Those processors start to operate as a network.

They can, surprisingly. Boost the system's data processing ability. There is possibility. That. AI that runs the system uses an “ask a friend” card. This means it can independently make contact with other devices.  Those AIs can escape from their boxes. The situation is this. When those systems. Processor power is not enough. They can call for assistance. AI algorithms or agents can escape from their sandboxes. But in this case. That happens between physical devices. 

If. We want to make a self-learning computer. The best way. It is to make a system. That mimics human brains. 

That computer requires three layers. They will mimic the three main structures of the human brain. Those three layers are the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those three main structures are the key. That makes our brains so effective.  When a signal comes. From the hindbrain and RAS (reticular activating system) to the forebrain, it brings those signals into consciousness. The midbrain selects information that the brain stores in the molecular (DNA/RNA) based long-term memory. Another purpose of that central layer is to release or unpack the neural connections. If. Brains are in a jam. Or they are stuck in an eternal loop. 

The three-layer system acts like the human brain. Researchers can make tiny systems that can mimic human brains. They can create three computer groups. There are things like supercomputers that replace those three layers. So tiny devices can form large structures. That means those three-layer devices. Or. Processors can form multiple internal three-layer groups. This means we could create a system that mimics human brains. By using three home computers. That means a very interesting future for that kind of system.

Russia opens next-generation drone megabases.

“Photo: Russia has built a new drone base for jet-powered Shaheds (Russian media). Satellite imagery confirms that Russia has built a new launch site for jet-powered drones near the Millerovo military airfield, according to the press service of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence (HUR).” (RBC Ukraine)

New Russian drone bases offer a new vision of next-generation warfare. Those bases can also give the central government a role in internal affairs. Drone bases and their equipment can be remotely controlled. So, if drone swarms are ready for operations. Those drone bases can host Geran 2 and 3. And Geran 4 drones. Maybe. Those drone bases can operate smaller drones used for self-defense. They might also operate other, more secretive weapon systems. Like. Jammers and other things. That should help Russian operations.

The remote operators can operate individually. Or. They can be operated as swarms. This means that the leader can activate those drones remotely from their office. The AI-based systems can operate independently. And. Those drones can be dangerous tools.  Leaders can see into anybody’s house in real time. Those drones can carry microphones. So. They can eavesdrop on any person in their area. If those drones carry laser microphones. They. Can also hear what people talk about in houses. 

They can also be used against rebellions. Those drones can provide extreme firepower. And. Reconnaissance ability. For a couple of people. Using AI-based user interfaces, a single person can operate multiple drone swarms. And millions of drones. The drone swarms can operate from multiple platforms. Undercover units like trains, lorries, ships, and airplanes can bring them into the operational area. Cruise- and ballistic missiles can deliver small drones over the operational area. 

Drones can wait. On the ground silently. And wait for orders. This means that drones can strike unpredictably. High-tech is more vulnerable. Than. Some 1960s technology. One bullet can damage or destroy a high-tech fighter. 

Morphing neural networks. And self-learning algorithms are tools that make drones more effective. A drone swarm. That uses. These kinds of algorithms can share information with other drones. Morphing ability means that the drone swarm can lose its members. The system can use simulations. To avoid enemy contact too early. When drones search shadow areas. Enemy systems. Cannot see those drones. 

 Drones can map radar shadow areas. Their operators can use that data for mission planning. 

Things like virtual user interfaces. Digital twins and many other new types of digital systems. Like. AI makes it possible to fly drones virtually to the target. Laser scanners and CCD cameras can create a complete 3D model of the area. The scanner. It. Sees the 3D shape of the area. CCD camera makes it possible. For the AI. To put colors on those structures. The drone pairs there; another uses radar or a laser scanner. Another drone observes the signal. 

UV-based scanner technology is the new tool against stealth aircraft. The IR system sees a system that sends IR light. But those systems are blind to UV systems. Things like invisibility cloaks are impressive. But active lidar scanners can see those things. The problem with invisibility cloaks is that laser scanners uncover them. Even. If they absorb all radiation. Laser scanners can see the invisibility cloak as a white point against the background. Those scanners can be in drones. Drones that emit radiation are otherwise easy targets for missiles. But they are easier to replace than ground-based scanners. 

The more complicated drone sends that. Which. Can map the shadow areas from the digital twin. The drone operator can fly drones to their targets using a virtual environment. Then the system copies those maneuvers to drones. 

The drone uses the digital twin to create the map for DSMAC systems. Digital scene-matching correlation means a drone or cruise missile can find targets using aerial images. The drone or missile can also recognize the target's shape. And that means they can find and attack targets independently.

The Chinese New Space capabilities are remarkable.

“U.S. Intel Confirms This Is China’s Secret Spaceplane (Updated). The Chinese spaceplane design is unsurprisingly very similar to the U.S. Space Force's history-making X-37B.” (TWZ)

The image of China's highly secretive miniature space shuttle shows how advanced China really is. In space technology. The remarkable thing is the large-size rocket stage. That makes it possible. To make fast maneuvers in large orbital areas. This makes that space plane ideal. To operate as an orbital anti-satellite fighter. The highly automated system is almost Similar to the X-37B space plane. 

This space shuttle can fix satellites or adjust their trajectories. In the first case, this system transports robots. That can fix the satellite. The same system could also be used to collect satellites. That system can drive malfunctioning satellites into the atmosphere.  Operators can use that shuttle. To capture secretive military satellites. But as we know, those miniature shuttles are multipurpose tools. The spacecraft is highly secretive. Secrecy tells us about military purposes. 

They can be used for recon missions. They can target opponent reconnaissance satellites. Miniature shuttles can transport miniature ELINT and image-intelligence satellites to the orbiter. Miniature satellites can act as a swarm. They can connect the data that their systems collect. The miniature satellite cloud can collect data from multiple positions. They can offer communication tools for larger, more powerful killer satellites. 

Those miniature spaceplanes can also operate as ASAT (Anti-Satellite) platforms. They can carry miniature killer satellites to space. Those miniature satellites can involve microwave or laser weapons. Miniature laser satellites can drill holes in the satellite. That. Can damage things like satellite antennas. In those cases, the system uses those miniature satellites as silent saboteurs. Their purpose is not to destroy satellites. Their purpose is to disturb them. 

Satellites like GPS play a vital role in modern warfare. There are two ways to disturb satellite navigation systems. The system. They can use jammers to disturb satellites' ability to communicate with ground devices. The system. They can also blow gas impulses. To. GPS satellites and try to change targeted satellites' altitude or their trajectories. That kind of sabotage can remain unseen. There is a possibility. That near those satellites are some EMP satellites. They can try to jam those targeted satellites. The power. Of those microwave systems. It determines their effect. The jammer can look like a solar storm. Microwave systems can keep a targeted satellite in pieces. 

“U.S. Intel Warns China’s Space-Based Directed Energy Weapons Could Soon Threaten Satellites Battlefield space is heating up as the DIA warns that China could use orbital directed energy weapons to take down satellites by the end of the decade.” (TWZ)

That denies debris from spreading along the trajectories. 

The simplest ASAT satellites use kinetic energy systems. Kinetic energy ASATs can use miniature satellites. They collide with targeted satellites. Another system can use bullets to destroy targets. ASAT systems must not have very powerful gun systems. If. The killer satellite travels opposite to its target. It can send a kill device with very high impact speed. The problem is that. Those impacts increase space junk. Another version. Is to use miniature satellites to touch the targeted satellite. And then drive that targeted satellite into the atmosphere. 

Laser systems are more lethal. They can destroy an entire satellite in seconds. Those systems can cut solar panels. Or. If its power is high enough. The thermal expansion can detonate the satellite’s shell. The system can input thermal energy to the target. Then another satellite releases very cold gas into that target’s trajectory. That decreases the satellite's temperature. Very fast. That breaks the satellite’s shell. 

The thing is that. Killer satellites are coming. They are required to fight against FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems). Normally, FOBS means a nuclear weapon that orbits the Earth. The miniature shuttle can act as a FOBS weapon. That means the shuttle can carry nuclear weapons in its cargo bay. That shuttle can act as a “super drone”. Or the miniature shuttle can release the hypersonic glider to the target. The problem is that. The FOBS and EMP weapons can orbit Earth for years. The EMP satellite can seem very innocent. They can look like regular communication or even commercial satellites. This means that those satellites can do regular missions. But. Inside them can be a nuclear weapon. 

When that satellite travels over a certain place. It. Can detonate its warhead. The satellite can detonate its weapon by using radar. Or LIDAR and camera images. That DSMAC (Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlation System.  Makes it possible for the satellite to find its target. When the satellite detonates the megaton-class nuclear weapon above a city area. There. Is no time to react. The EMP destroys electronics in a large area. That EMP can deny the use of communication systems. This weapon collapses defenses. This is why. ASAT weapons play a vital role. In. The military ecosystem. 

The purpose. Of. ASAT systems is to intercept satellites that play a vital role in the military. The satellites that control drone swarms can collect data from enemy territory. The drones collect data while they travel to their target. They send that data to those satellites. HQ can use that data to plan a follow-up strike.

The PHP meltdown endangered 70% of world homepages.

The last PHP meltdown was bad. 70% of the homepages were vulnerable. Due. To issues outside the PHP code itself. The meltdown happened in the so-called Zend engine. “Two critical vulnerabilities in PHP, the programming language behind around 70% of websites worldwide, have prompted urgent warnings from cybersecurity agencies. Dubbed PHP2Shell, the flaws could allow attackers to remotely run malicious code, steal sensitive data, and take control of affected servers without authentication.” (Livemint.com, Decade-old PHP bug puts websites at risk: How AI uncovered it, who is vulnerable and how to stay safe | Explained)

“CVE-2026-109618 (Uninitialized Request Memory): When a PHP script exhausts system resources and triggers an out-of-memory (OOM) error, the runtime utilizes a low-level C function known as longjmp() to abort execution. Due. To. Faulty control flow logic. This abrupt exit leaves request memory uninitialized. By feeding specially crafted HTTP requests designed to trigger resource exhaustion, remote attackers can reliably leverage these uninitialized buffers to execute arbitrary commands on the host server.” (Clarin.com, PHP vulnerability 2026 explained: What happened with 'PHP2Shell', how it affects millions of sites, patches and what precautions you must take)

“CVE-2026-109619 (Dangling Global Memory References): In this parallel flaw, a fatal error condition handled via longjmp() causes global memory pointers to reference memory regions that have already been freed. When the persistent PHP process serves subsequent incoming web requests. It reads or branches from these invalidated memory addresses, enabling an attacker to trigger process crashes, siphon sensitive customer data from memory, or achieve full system takeovers.”(Clarin.com, PHP vulnerability 2026 explained: What happened with 'PHP2Shell', how it affects millions of sites, patches and what precautions you must take)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Key takeaways from Flowninja.com

*PHP2Shell is two critical flaws in PHP itself that let attackers run code on a server without logging in.

*The fixed versions are PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 and 8.2.35, released October 21, 2026.

*WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Magento were all shown exploitable; CMS and plugin updates leave the flaw in place.

*PHP 8.1 and older get no official fix, and about a third of PHP sites still run PHP 7 or older.

*US, UK and EU agencies said to take systems offline or isolate them if you could not patch.

*By October 22, Sansec judged mass exploitation less likely because the public exploits need specific server conditions.

*Webflow says its core services are not built on PHP and its customers needed no action.

“PHP is the programming language running on the server behind WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento. And countless custom sites. W3Techs finds it on 69.3% of websites whose server-side language it can detect (October 22, 2026).” (Flowninja, PHP2Shell explained: what happened, which platforms were hit, and what to do now)

“PHP2Shell lets one crafted web request corrupt PHP's memory and run the attacker's code with the permissions of the server's PHP process. PHP's advisory says the attack can trigger "before any application code runs", so the CMS on top makes no difference.”  (Flowninja, PHP2Shell explained: what happened, which platforms were hit, and what to do now)

“The second PHP vulnerability can also disclose worker memory, and code running on your server can reach its files, database, and stored credentials. Affected releases date back to PHP 5.4.” (Flowninja, PHP2Shell explained: what happened, which platforms were hit, and what to do now)

That vulnerability. It allowed hackers to crack the system. Through. The Zend Engine.  This kind of vulnerability is one example. How. Important. It is important to keep the system updated. That means that. Also. Virtual. Engines must be updated. And the second thing is that. If. Hackers get. The Zend Engine source code in hand. They can find vulnerabilities. Another problem is that. Use. AI in that operation is possible. That means that. This kind of vulnerability means that the core component is open. The ability to run hostile code in the system opens it to worms. The hacker can slip malware through that hole. 

So, what does this mean? Even the best coders cannot protect the system. If. There is a vulnerability in the core. Another. Thing that makes these kinds of vulnerabilities critical is that Hackers can slip so-called sleeping malware into the system. The malware can be silent. Until. It is activated. The activator can be a certain date. Or it can be code. That comes from outside. If. 70% of homepages are vulnerable. That causes a very large-scale threat. But the threat can be in things that we don’t see.

Strategic bombers will have a bigger air-to-air role.

The role of strategic bombers in air-to-air combat is not well known. In. WW2 the YB-40. It was the gunship variant of the famous Flying Fortress bomber. With. Stronger defensive armament. 

Pentagon planned. To use that aircraft as an escort for the B-17 bombers. That gunship variant retired before it entered service. Because. Long-range escort fighters seemed more suitable for that mission. 

During the Cold War, plans called for using cruise missiles and SRAM missiles against approaching bomber formations. Those cruise missiles would be launched from submarines. But. Strategic bombers can also act as launch platforms. In those versions, cruise missiles can fly in the approaching bomber formation. And then they can detonate their nuclear warheads in the middle of the bomber formation. 

Strategic bombers can also carry ASAT missiles. Those missiles can be Pegasus-type rockets with anti-satellite warheads. And strategic bombers can, of course, make bomb runs against airfields. But the air-to-air role of those long-range systems is new. 

A strategic bomber can use directed energy weapons. Like EMP, microwave, and laser systems. Against. Aerial and surface targets. Those systems can intercept incoming missiles and aircraft. It’s possible. The next-generation strategic bombers can carry active defense systems like lasers. Their purpose is to drop air-defense missiles. The same system can also drop aircraft and drones. The large-sized bombers can operate with multiple defensive and offensive systems. 

Strategic bombers can also operate with loyal wingman drones. Those. Drones' mission. It is. To pull air defense’s focus onto them. Or, there are many types of drones. Some drones. They can give stronger radar echoes than stealth bombers. That pulls air defense focus to them. Then the other drones attack the targets.  This means that the system includes multi-layer subsystems. Like. Automatic and semi-automatic systems. In the latter ones. The pilot or remote operator marks a target for the drone. And then the drone attacks that target. 

“F-22 Pilot Controls FQ-44 Fighter Drone From The Cockpit For The First Time” (TWZ)

The newest models can operate as AI-controlled combat drones. The loyal wingman drone can be an AI-controlled kamikaze aircraft with air-combat capability. That kind of system. It can be a game-changer in air combat. The drone itself can carry conventional or nuclear warheads. Air-combat capability can make those systems more lethal. In some scenarios, strategic bombers drop drones into operational areas. There are two types of drones. Stealthy attack kamikaze-aircombat hybrid drones. And the non-stealth decoy drones. This follows the main R&D process trend of military systems. The trend goes like this. There are a few very expensive systems. Their costs are in the trillions of dollars. 

And the low-cost ones. Simple systems that automated systems can produce even on the battlefield. In the same way. Even. The new helicopter concepts involve drone-cooperation abilities. This means that. Drones and other systems operate as a unit. The key element is the morphing neural network. That network shares data across all the systems. This means that the age of lone drones is over. The new systems are integrated. With. Other systems. Existing systems can have more targets. Even. If we think about the anti-drone systems. With. Maximum speed of 300-500 km/h cannot intercept full-speed aircraft. It is always possible that some agents carry those drones near the airbases. 

And then. Launch them against landing or rising aircraft. This type of attack can be made by using remotely controlled drones. That. Can use similar Imaging IR-based systems. That the Javelin missiles use. The system detects its target using images. That is stored in its computers. Then the drone attacks the incoming aircraft. This can cause damage to a stealth fighter or stealth bomber.

New stealth systems are required for a new type of warfare.

“The J-31 differs from the F-35 in that it has two engines, which in turn reduces its area ruling, making for more efficient supersonic flight, including future supercruise once the J-31 obtains more powerful engines. Hunter Chen” (Popular mechanics)

Invisibility cloaks. Or. Invisibility fabrics are tools. Whose purpose is to improve servicemen's survivability. Those systems are used in Libya and some other modern conflicts. This system also helped the F-15 crew members hide when their plane was shot down in Iran.  Snipers. And other operators who want to hide from their enemies are almost certainly using those things. The invisibility cloak. Can be connected. 

With new types of recon boats, cars,  satellites, and some helicopters. The big problem with those systems is that they cannot hide objects from radar or infrared. The important thing today is invisibility. And. The invisibility cloak can offer visual invisibility for users. This system can make vehicles invisible, but the big problem is: how to install it on high-speed jets. 

In normal scenarios. The stealth material absorbs radar signals. This means that the stealth material conducts energy to the battery. Or it transforms it into heat. Then that material must conduct that heat somewhere. No material can absorb energy forever. There is a limit. After. The material reaches that energy limit.  The radar-absorbing material (RAM) will be broken. 

It is always possible that some stealth fighter gets hit in enemy airspace. This can cause a situation. That allows the enemy to hack the material. And this means that. No part of the stealth airplane must fall into hostile hands. 

If. The material turns hot. That heat makes the aircraft visible. In. infrared (IIR) imaging sensors.  That technology uses machine vision and AI components to detect targets. 

if. The EMP weapon is targeted. At. The area. It can destroy the electronics that those systems use. This is the problem with high-tech systems. The EMP is a high-power radio signal. That. The radio transmitter can create it. It uses high-power impulse capacitors. The EMP can terminate all electronics. And make those kinds of invisibility cloaks malfunction. The EMP can also destroy electronics in drone swarms. The high-power EMP weapon can also destroy electronics in aircraft, cars, boats, and everywhere else. After the EMP strikes, the target seems unharmed. But all computers are destroyed. Because. Of a high-voltage spike. The EMP impulse. Can be sent from high-power radars. So. The EMP weapon can be a radar with extremely high transmission power. 

The new quantum stealth systems. They can make all electromagnetic waves slide over the surface. If. That surface cannot be impacted by electromagnetic radiation. That radiation cannot transport energy into the aircraft’s structure. So. That means. Quantum stealth should protect against lasers. And.  Other directed energy weapons. The ability. To turn light away from the target. It makes it invisible. But. This ability. Like counter-radiation. It makes it possible. To. Turn the laser beams away. This requires a counter laser beam. That has the same wavelength. With. Attacking lasers. The loyal wingman drone can block the laser beam. That destroys the loyal wingman drone. But it leaves the aircraft time to point its own weapon at the laser. This means that. The last ultimate solution. It is replaced. By. Another ultimate solution. And. In the world of military. There is an endless race between the ultimate attacker and the ultimate defender. 

“By bending light around an object, the science of transformation optics could enable the first working 3D cloaking device. A new advance in metalenses, if successfully applied, could extend a cloak to the visible light portion of the spectrum, enabling the first true "invisibility cloak. Credit: Hyperstealth Biotechnology. ("BigThink, The sci-fi inspired “cloaking device” makes invisibility possible

The cloak can be covered. Using carbonite class. That class can offer a hard shell for those vehicles. Carbonite class is the hardest material for spacecraft. This kind of material can form a new type of armour. The carbonite class can protect the invisibility cloak. The big problem is that. The material can be seen on radar. The fact is that. Most of the cheap drones use regular CCD cameras. And that kind of invisibility cloak can protect against regular CCD cameras. But the problem is that. The drone swarm can involve different types of drones. Each drone can have different types of cameras. This makes them hard to feint. 

New quantum technologies are making traditional stealth materials useless. Modern missiles use artificial intelligence and multi-sensor homing systems. This means. They are immune to traditional infrared jamming systems, including torches. The jammer systems and other active tools are effective. But the problem is the active radio transmission. Anti-radiation missiles can turn those jammers against their users. An infrared jammer also sends IR radiation. That radiation can jam traditional IR-homing missiles. Optical fire control with laser and microwave systems can use those jammers as targets. 

Things like plasma-stealths are under development. Plasma stealth is a tool that can protect aircraft against radar. The big problem is that. Plasma denies radio waves from traveling through it in both directions. This effect causes radio silence. When. Spacecraft arrive in the atmosphere. Friction raises its temperature. And it turns the air around it into plasma. This plasma layer denies radio communication. Through. It. This plasma layer makes it hard to develop hypersonic aircraft. And it makes it hard to develop plasma stealth. 

The answer can be lidar. Laser radars can see through this layer. Hypersonic cruise systems can use AI-boosted lidar. And. Optical sensor systems can see targets. Another possibility is this. The aircraft uses loyal wingman-type drones to drop. Other drones to operational areas. Those drones can mark targets. That is one version os the new types of systems. The hypersonic drone travels over the target area. It drops those marker drones. And then the next wave sends weapons to targets.

How much power can private actors have?

What if Elon Musk shuts down his Starlink and SpaceX Starshield systems at a critical moment? What if he does? The same thing to the Pentagon. That he made? To Ukraine? 

When Elon Musk ordered a slowdown of Starlink communications in Ukraine, he showed how powerful he can be. Public sources don’t say whether he slowed down Starlink, the civilian system. Or its military version, Starshield. After that, the White House and Musk blamed each other for that limit. The Starlink system didn’t work for drones. That traveled at over 160 km/h. 

And that caused the failure in drone campaigns. That raises an interesting question. What if Musk shuts that system down for the Pentagon also? We know that Starshield operations. Bases are contracted there; the Pentagon administers Starlink’s militarized version. But the fact is that. Also, SpaceX and Musk have access to that system. He has power. To shut down vital communications. From the U.S. military.

It's possible. To use deepfakes to play other people. 

Musk says that Trump ordered a slowdown of Starlink.  The U.S. government says they had no information about that slowdown over Ukraine. The alarming question is: What if they speak the truth? Could somebody? Create deepfake information? And play the White House representative and order Musk to make that thing? Or could somebody use deepfake? And play Musk? That means. The actor. Can order SpaceX workers to slow down those systems. By. Playing Elon Musk in virtual meetings. 

Starlink and Starshield are different systems. But. The fact is. The same company owns those systems. Elon Musk said. That White House gave an order. To slow Starlink speed. The U.S. government says that Musk gave orders to do that. That raises an interesting question. What if? Somebody uses fake information, like AI-created film in video conversations? And plays Trump? Could this kind of fake cause that thing? 

The shutdown can happen. By changing access codes on the servers. That can happen. By shutting down satellites. Or by shutting down servers. When. We think about Musk’s Starlink. And Starshield systems. They are impressive. Well-working internet systems that work everywhere. The big problem with those systems is this. If the Pentagon has only one service provider for its operations. 

We can say that the Pentagon puts all its eggs into the same basket. There is always a possibility. That something goes wrong. What if Musk shuts down those services? Or what if hostile actors get Musk’s keys? Into their hands? Where does the Pentagon get the backup systems? The success. Of Starlink and SpaceX is impressive. Those systems that Musk introduces are futuristic. But. The problem is that. SpaceX is too dominant. It suffocates its competitors. And that means that the power accumulates in the hands of that corporation and its owner. That power includes data that the Pentagon collects from its operations. 

That causes discussions about the limits of private contractors. People say Musk has too much power. He owns many satellites. Lots of critical data infrastructure relies on his companies. He owns a company that creates neuro-implanted microchips. In the wrong hands, those systems are tools. That can put humans under control. 

The big question is this: How many satellites, how many social media providers, and how many satellites should a single private operator have permission to own? What if one actor occupies an entire orbital trajectory with microsatellites? And we must remember that every single satellite is an ASAT (anti-satellite) weapon. This means this. The operator can use those satellites to impact other satellites.
