The way wars begin often marks the dominance of a new weapon on the battlefield. The first World War was heralded by artillery; the second World War saw aircraft take the lead; modern high-tech localized conflicts are often initiated by electromagnetic waves. In the future, wars will be the first in human history to be determined and directed by satellites in terms of how they begin. From the launch of satellites in the 1950s to the current era of "every battle involving satellites," this once ethereal deity soaring in the "nine heavens" has become, alongside aircraft and artillery, an indispensable weapon system in modern warfare. In this book, you will see that countries with satellites cannot guarantee victory in every battle, but decades of modern warfare practice have repeatedly proven that countries without satellites have never won a single battle against those with satellites. But what will future space warfare truly look like? Please see our predictions in this book!
