What is the historical development process of meteorological weapons?

Military affairs and meteorology have always been closely related. Since Zhuge Liang took advantage of the east wind to burn Cao Ying, there have been countless examples in human history of using meteorological conditions to attack the enemy to protect themselves in the war?

War and meteorology have a long history. From the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th century to the Iraq War in the early 20th century, meteorology and war went hand in hand? No matter how the combat style changes and how the weapons and equipment develop, the war will be affected by the weather.

Meteorological conditions are a double-edged sword, which is fair to both sides. The key is to see who can control it without being affected by it. If meteorological conditions can be used reasonably, meteorology will become a "multiplier" of combat effectiveness.

During the Gulf War, the special climatic conditions in the Gulf region were one of the most important factors in the strategic decision-making of multinational forces? When choosing the time to fight against Iraq, the meteorological department of the US military pointed out that the time to fight against Iraq should be from February to March of the following year, although it was rainy and foggy during this period, compared with the high temperature in April-June of 10? Sandstorm weather, this influence is much smaller?

As early as the 1950s when President Eisenhower was in power, the US military clearly put forward the view that "meteorological control is more important than atomic bombs" in a research report? The U.S. government also established the McGinley Climate Laboratory at Tampa Bay Air Force Base in Florida to develop meteorological weapons?

Since 1960s, meteorological weapons developed by McGinley Climate Laboratory have been used in actual combat? During the Vietnam War, the US military dispatched 26,000 planes and dropped more than 4.74 million catalytic rain bombs over the Vietnam war zone. The rainstorm and flood caused by them made the supply line of the Vietnamese army "Ho Chi Minh Trail" muddy, which seriously affected the combat operations of the Vietnamese army?
