The militarization of space is one of the biggest problems in the world.

The militarization of space doesn't mean some intelligence or recon satellites. I mean the killer satellites like microwave weapons, what are put in the orbital trajectory. The problem is that every nation in the world wants to affect the predicted enemy's recon satellites, what mission is to target the opponent's military (and other vital targets).

The modern recon satellites can send the GPS (or GLONASS)-coordinates for the smart weapons. The use of GPS-guided weapons is the militarization of space. The GPS-guided weapons are making the GPS-satellites good targets for killer-satellites because that denies using those things.

And they can drop the small quadcopters through the atmosphere for recon and pointing missions to the areas. This kind of quadcopters what can send intensive data of target location, or can those drones what can be controlled through satellites can be armed with a pistol- or rifle caliber weapons makes those satellites dangerous for every person on the ground. Modern technology makes many things different than ever before, and one of them is a killer satellite.

As I just wrote satellites can drop armed drones through the air, and that means that even if their laser- or other systems are not powerful enough to harm people they can be dangerous otherwise. Another thing is that activist groups, what are acting against those weapons are an easy punch by arguments that they are acting for some foreign military intelligence, and the other thing is that those people do not understand that those weapons are under development in many other countries like in China and Russia. So the USA is not only a nation, what develop satellite control weapons.

The drone swarms are arguments that they are not weapons of mass destruction. I disagree with that opinion. Drone swarms can use as the mass-destruction weapon as well as nuclear weapons or the mass-bombardment. The drones are equipped with FAE-explosives that can be delivered to the area. And then the quadcopters are making the square where the cover of the explosion is best. Then those weapons will explode at the same time.

Those drone swarms can shoot to the operational area by cargo rocket, and that means the technology is required for those drone swarm is not so accurate as in nuclear weapons. The drones can use GPS for taking their place, and the fact is that the controlling unit requires the location of the target. Then the drones can send thereby using the cargo rocket, and then their heat shields are released. Those FAE-quadcopters are the "yellow weapons". They are between conventional weapons and nuclear weapons. They are legal but mass use of them makes them the WMD (Weapon of mass destruction), which is prohibited.

The thing is that also mass-bombardment by using smart or "dumb" weapons is also mass-destruction, and smart weapons like GBU-31 JDAM can use as the mass-bombardment as well as the "surgical strikes". In mass bombardment, every single house target for those weapons. And the fact is that destroying 1000 houses require 1000 GPS guided bombs. So the large areas of the city can also destroy by using those smart weapons.

This kind of system is under development and the arguments against them are swept off by arguments those arguments is given only the army personnel, who are losing their jobs. But the real thing is that those drones can also low the risk of solving political conflicts by using military force. And in this case, the war is murder.
