Drones and cruise missiles are changing strategic thinking all around the world

This is a writing about new dangers, what cruise missiles will cause to the nations. The miniaturization of the weapon technology will make those missiles little bit different than before. Of course, those missiles have sophisticated artificial intelligence, what controls their flight. But the small size of the computers has made possible to build a very small size but still effective weapons. Those new style cruise missiles are like small drones, but they are equipped with warheads, what can be dangerous almost all main battle tanks.


The example of new very small cruise missiles are weapons what basis their technology to "Desert Hawk III" and "KZO" target drones, what have used also in miniaturized recon planes. Those drones missile versions might send to airborne and they can fly across the battlefield, and when the operators see something important targets they can fly that missile to hit it with High Explosive Anti Tank warhead.


That kind of drones might also have Anti Radiation capacity, so they can be used as an elimination for enemy radio-equipment and if we will see a very scary situation, those miniaturized drones can be used in assassination missions, and those missions can be accomplished like in some action movies. Those operators must only get the location of their target and after that drive the drone against this target.


Modern cruise missiles might be position in any container, and that makes possible to build undercover missile sites and those masked containers might make any ship in the world as a combat ship. Those very far generated weapon systems might be remote controlled, that those ships crew doesn't even know about those weapons until they will be launch.  But modern cruise missiles have more capacities than ever before.


They can send to airborne by normal motorways, with wheels, using helicopters as a launching platforms. In this scenario, the helicopter just raises enough high, that the missile's motor can start and the weapon can begin stable flight when this helicopter drops cruise missile from ropes below it. And of course, those weapons can deliver from any kind of aircraft, what can carry them. Those cruise missiles can be patrol away from bombers, and they can refuel as any other airplane, and they can be returned to their base as other drones.


And in the wildest imaginations, those missiles can fly inside some cargo planes, what is using as a flying aircraft carrier and service platforms to those weapons. So is it possible that some UFO-incidents are actually situations, where some cargo planes operate with drones or cruise missiles? They might release that equipment to airborne, and after the situation is over, they will fly that thing back inside the plane.
