What is a weather weapon, meteorological warfare?

The so-called "meteorological weapons" refer to a series of weapons that use modern scientific and technological means to artificially create natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, rainstorms, mountain torrents, avalanches, high temperatures and aerosols, and transform the battlefield environment to achieve military purposes. With the rapid development of science and meteorological science, the weapon technology of "geophysical environment" using man-made natural disasters has been greatly improved, which will surely play a huge role in future wars.

In theory, extreme weather such as drought, tornado, lightning, flood and hail can be artificially created, mainly to control the influence of stratospheric airflow and air pressure on climate. Thunderstorm generator, tornado generator, artificial mountain building and other methods will all belong to the weapon system and attack equipment of future war.

In addition to meteorological weapons, there are man-made earthquakes, man-made volcanic eruptions and man-made tsunamis.

1967, president Johnson of the United States officially approved a secret meteorological plan, that is, using airplanes to drop catalytic bombs containing silver iodide for artificial rainfall, in an attempt to cause flooding, break bridges, destroy dams, block traffic, and cut off the "Ho Chi Minh Trail" transportation line. This project started from 1966 and lasted for six years. More than 4,740 catalytic bombs were put into use, at a cost of $265,438 +0.6 million, and the number of participants was10.4 million. Although the strategic attempt to implement this plan has not been fully realized, it has opened the prelude to the use of meteorological weapons to implement meteorological warfare.
