Does the United States have weather weapons?

The United States has meteorological weapons.

Meteorological weapons refer to a series of weapon platforms that use meteorological control technology to artificially create various special meteorological conditions to interfere with, destroy or directly destroy the enemy. In 1950s, American President Eisenhower put forward the concept that "meteorological control is more important than atomic bomb". The US military has been devoted to the research of meteorological weapons and has conducted dozens of secret meteorological research projects. The U.S. government has established the McGinley Climate Laboratory, which focuses on the research of meteorological weapons, and gradually applied it to battlefield practice.

Since then, the US military has begun experimental research on weather modification for military purposes. Starting from 1966, the US military secretly carried out artificial rainfall on the battlefield in Vietnam for seven years, with the purpose of disrupting traffic and making it difficult for the Vietnamese People's Army to mobilize and transport materials. The whole process is divided into two stages: experiment and practical operation. The experimental stage was conducted in Laos on 1966. The actual operation stage is carried out in the annual rainy season 1967 ~ 1972, a narrow strip at the junction of Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Technical characteristics of meteorological weapons

Meteorological weapons are mainly used to create difficulties for enemy military operations and create favorable conditions for their own military operations, such as using artificial fog to cover the actions of their own troops; Destroy enemy traffic with artificial rainfall; Make artificial rainfall acidic to corrode enemy equipment; Emit heat-absorbing and light-absorbing substances into the atmosphere, so that the temperature in a predetermined area changes sharply, or control lightning to generate low-frequency electromagnetic waves in the ionosphere, causing damage to the effective forces in enemy areas; Guide the typhoon to the predetermined area so that the enemy will be attacked by the typhoon.

It can be used both strategically and in combat.

According to meteorologists' prediction, the energy of a strong thunderstorm system is equivalent to the explosion of 2.5 million tons equivalent nuclear bomb. Even if it is used in part, it will also produce huge combat energy. According to foreign media reports, the US military is secretly developing a new type of weapon that induces great natural forces in a specific environment. The damage caused by this weapon can reach or even exceed the damage caused by any large-scale nuclear explosion.
