Are there meteorological weapons in the world?

Meteorological weapons are special weapons that attack the enemy by artificially creating clouds, rain, snow, lightning and other natural phenomena. After World War II, the US military has conducted dozens of secret meteorological research projects. From 65438 to 0966, weapons developed by McGinley Climate Laboratory in the United States began to be used in the Vietnam War. The US military dispatched 26,000 planes, dropped 4.74 million rain catalytic bombs over Vietnam, and carried out large-scale artificial rainfall, which led to flooding in some parts of Vietnam. Most importantly, the flood made the Vietnamese army's supply line-"Ho Chi Minh Trail" muddy, which seriously affected the Vietnamese army's combat operations.

Now we have such weapons!

The military weather modification project in China is an important project jointly researched by China Ordnance Research Institute and China Meteorological Research Institute. It is closely related to China's agriculture and social infrastructure industry, and it is one of the important projects of meteorological physics research in China. This project puts forward many schemes to solve the weather control problems that have plagued China for many years, which has far-reaching significance in the history of meteorological physics construction in China.

China Ordnance Industry Corporation is a super-large state-owned key enterprise directly managed by the central government. It is a strategic team for the country to cope with challenges and crises. It has concentrated the scientific research and production capacity of the backbone of China's weapons industry, representing the development direction and level of China's weapons industry. It is the largest weapons and equipment manufacturing group in China and plays a fundamental and strategic role in China's national defense modernization. The Group actively implements the internationalization strategy, vigorously develops two overseas undertakings, namely, international project contracting and strategic resources development of petroleum and minerals, and forms an international business pattern of five-in-one and interactive development of military trade, technology introduction, international projects, strategic resources and civilian products export. Facing the future, China Ordnance Industry Corporation will strive to become an internationally competitive military industry group and make greater contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the harmonious progress of human society!
