    Oh, I hadn’t thought of that. As a sort of smart cluster munition from space. Drop this anywhere, with a starlink receiver and control transmitter built in for the drones. Then dozens/hundreds of targeted strikes anywhere, without multiple missiles or deploying any troops.

      But this would supposedly be limited to non-weapon systems since the US is still supposedly a part of the outer space treaty. So would be good for overwatch capabilities/data gathering equipment/urgently needed medical devices.
