The next generation of killer drones is coming.

The success of the Bayraktar TB-2 drones in Ukraine was impressive. But the trend goes to smaller, AI-controlled fire-and-forget systems. Those systems recognize their targets autonomously. And then they can make kamikaze attacks against those targets.

The AI is cheap. The system requires that the control software is loaded into that system. Then the operator can launch it, and escape from the launching point. The kamikaze drone can patrol over the battlefield. And when it runs out of fuel, it can attack against targets.

The drone operator can launch the drone near its target. The image-recognition system allows the drone to operate independently. And then that drone can patrol over the target, and leave the operator time to flee. The system requires only an image of the target. When the image, stored in the drone's memory matches with camera image, the drone can dive against its targets.

Bigger drones like Predators and Bayraktars can also transport those drones to operational areas. They can also equipped with warheads and used against large-size targets. Or they can used as decoys to uncover the enemy AA system's positions.

The next trend in killer robots is loitering ammunition. Those systems are so-called kamikaze drones that are cruise missiles.

Boeing Dominator is typical kamikaze-drone. The military can deliver that ammunition from manned or unmanned ground vehicles, boats, helicopters, aircraft, another drone, or even from ballistic missiles. The size of the kamikaze drone is not limited.

The nuclear kamikaze.

The unmanned F-35 Lightning II can also carry nuclear weapons and detonate them inside those aircraft. That makes them the kamikaze nukes that are deadlier than ever before. Those drones can patrol like all other aircraft, and when the orders come, that kamikaze drone attacks its target. The thing is that those nuke drones can return to base if there is no use for their weapon.

In some visions, the unmanned F-35 Lightning II can carry the internal nuclear bomb to target and detonate it in the aircraft. That kind of large kamikaze drone can have sub-missiles. That allows it to attack interceptors that try to defend it.

Aquila-type drones can equipped with warheads. And the AI can find targets from the battlefield.

Those missile's mission is to operate over the battlefield. The loitering ammunition or kamikaze drone is more effective than traditional drones like Bayraktars and Predators.

The thing is that the large-size kamikaze drone can also carry sub-munitions like Hellfire missiles. It can use those missiles for air-defense suppression or destroy secondary targets while it travels to its main target. The bigger size drones like the retired X-47B can transport smaller kamikaze drones like the Boeing Dominator into the operational area. Or the big-size kamikaze drones can also used against large-size targets. The fact is that ballistic missiles can also shoot kamikaze drones into operation areas.

The kamikaze drone can operate over the battlefield and send information to the drone controller. And when its fuel is empty, that system can select a target, and make a kamikaze-strike against it. The difference between this kind of kamikaze system, and traditional drones is that loitering ammunition can send data to headquarters using one-way data transportation.

Kamikaze-drone can use selective AI to choose targets. That means the kamikaze drone uses similar AI-based target recognition systems as the Javelin missile. The drone has images in its computer's memories. Then it can select targets from its camera images. Those targets might have classification. The targets that the system can attack immediately. And targets that the system can destroy later. If there are no higher-value targets. When the kamikaze drone sees a target it marks its position for the GPS and then returns later to make the attack. Or it can attack immediately.

That means the headquarters must not send data. And that thing makes it harder to detect the command unit, which can be a laptop and backpack-size communication unit. Or the system can communicate through modified GPS. And that means the command system can fit in the user's pocket. The user can point to the targets by using the GPS data that the loitering ammunition sends. And follow the advance of the system using a mobile telephone.

Schrödinger's cat: and the limits of that idea.

"In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment concerning quantum superposition". (Wikipedia, Schrödinger's cat). But the same thing can use as model for many other thought experiments. Sooner or later, or at least in the ultimate end of the universe, the Schrödinger's cat will turn into wave movement. The information that this cat involved exists but the cat does not exist in its material form. The information doesn't ever vanish. It just turns its shape. We are all trapped in the universe and time. The universe is the space that is entirety to us. There are no confirmed other universities. But the multiverse is a logical continuum for the expanding galactic megastructures. The problem with natural things is this. They are black and white. They exist or do not exist. Could there be something, that exists and not exists at the same time? Scrödinger's cat is thinking experiment about case their cat is not dead or not alive. But in this...

The string theory offers a new way to calculate Pi.

"Scientists discovered a new series for pi through string theory research, echoing a 15th-century formula by Madhava. By combining Euler-Beta Functions and Feynman Diagrams, they modeled particle interactions efficiently. Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Leap in Mathematics) People normally think that. The pi is the ratio of the circumference circle's circumference to the circle's diameter. The Pi is a mathematical constant 3.14159..., the endless decimal number. The Pi is interesting because developers can use that decimal number to make the encryption algorithms stronger. The idea is that the encryptions program hides the message's original ASCII numbers by multiplicating those numbers with some decimal number. Or the system can add some numbers to those ASCII numbers. "Aninda Sinha (left) and Arnab Saha (right). Credit: Manu Y" (ScitechDaily, String Theory Unravels New Pi Formula: A Quantum Le...

There are always more than three actors in the real world.

"An international research team is advancing precision timekeeping by developing a nuclear clock using thorium isotopes and innovative laser methods, potentially transforming our understanding of physical constants and dark matter. (Artist’s concept.) Credit: SciTechDaily.com" (ScitechDaily, Unveiling the Thorium Nuclear Clock and Its Time-Twisting Secrets) From Three-body problem... There are no pure three-body systems in nature. There are always more than three components in the system. For making real three-body systems we must separate those three bodies from the environment. Otherwise, there are stable effects. But nobody can predict some effects like distant supernova explosions or sun eruptions. And one of those things that affect all bodies is time. When radioactive materials decay. That affects the stability and symmetry of the object. Energy levels affect the existence of things like neutrons. The thorium atom clocks are next-generation tools for time measurement....
