Do meteorological weapons really exist?

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. It is no longer whimsical to turn the weather into a weapon and let "Lei Gong" and "Dian Mu" go to war.

Warm pressure bomb

The thermobaric bomb was developed by the Defense Threat Reduction Bureau of the US Department of Defense in June 5438 +2002 10, and was successfully applied to the battlefield in Afghanistan within two months. When the thermobaric bomb explodes, it can produce continuous high temperature and high pressure, and consume a lot of oxygen in the air around the target, which has a remarkable effect on hitting the target in caves and tunnels. In addition to using thermobaric bombs to attack narrow space targets such as caves, tunnels and bunkers, the US Marine Corps also plans to use portable thermobaric bombs to attack urban facilities, including buildings and ditches.

cold weapon

The US military tried to detonate cold weapons such as methane or carbon dioxide shells at an altitude of 0/7 km from the ground. After the explosion, the shell fragments covered the sky, and the weather suddenly became extremely cold, enough to freeze the enemy in the tropical jungle alive.

High temperature weapon

By firing laser shells, the desert heats up and the air rises, causing man-made cyclones, making enemy tanks unable to drive in sandstorms and eventually losing without a fight; Its steel shell is filled with flammable and explosive chemical fuel, and polymer particle powder is used to improve the power and safety of the weapon system. When an explosion occurs, it will produce comprehensive killing and destruction effects such as overpressure and high temperature. Such shells can be projected by fighters, helicopters, rockets, large-caliber barrel guns, short-range missiles and so on. And can be projected by medium and long-range ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and long-range combat aircraft to attack strategic targets.

Hot-pressed aerosol weapon

At present, the British Army is developing a precision strike weapon that uses heat waves, pressure and aerosols to strike targets. This weapon makes use of the advanced principles of oil and gas explosives. The fuel of this weapon will be ignited immediately after the impact, producing a large number of dense fog explosion clouds, which can destroy the targets in the building through hot fog and pressure and kill the enemy on a large scale. Enemies in the target area will soon be crushed to death and suffocated by aerosol.

Cloud shell

This kind of shell is also called fuel-air explosive bomb. Usually, liquid explosives such as ethylene oxide and propylene oxide are used, which are filled in shells and fired over the target with rockets or mortars. The first generation of cloud shells belonged to the sub-cluster type, that is, the cluster shell contained three bullets. Each bullet contains dozens of kilograms of fuel-air explosives, and is equipped with fuses, detonators and extended detection sensors. When the mother bomb is launched over the target, after 1~ 10 seconds, the fuze detonates the mother bomb, releases the bullet with the tow umbrella, and slowly approaches the target. Under the action of the probe sensor, the bullet shell is first detonated at a predetermined height above the target, and the liquid explosives are mixed to form a cloud with a diameter of about15m and a height of about 2.4m.. At present, the cloud bomb has developed to the third generation, and its performance has been greatly improved, and its application range is also wider.

Artificial cloud and fog elimination weapon

Artificial cloud and fog elimination refers to eliminating dense fog in combat airspace by heating, cooling and spreading catalysts, so as to improve the visibility in the air and ensure the safety of our own visual observation, aircraft take-off and landing and ship navigation. In World War II, the British army used a heating and fog-removing device called "Fido", which successfully ensured that 2,500 planes landed safely in the fog. 1968, the us military used artificial defogging weapons to ensure the safe landing of air force aircraft.

Manually controlled lightning

Manual control of lightning refers to artificially inducing and eliminating lightning, neutralizing, transferring or releasing the charges in the cloud in advance, thus controlling the generation of lightning and ensuring the safety of military operations in the air and on the ground. The methods of artificial control of lightning include: sowing frozen nuclei on charged clouds, changing the dynamics and microphysical processes of clouds to affect lightning discharge; The unfolded metal foil is used to increase the conductivity in the cloud, so that the electric field in the cloud can be maintained below the critical intensity required by lightning, so as to suppress lightning; The lightning discharge is triggered manually to make a small number of clouds discharge within a limited time.

Solar weapon

This is a weapon that uses sunlight to destroy the enemy. In fact, the use of sunlight as a weapon has long existed. 1994, a Russian satellite put a mirror in orbit, and the reflected light of the mirror brushed the earth at night, which shows that the current technology has been able to concentrate the reflected light of the mirror at an altitude of 40,000 meters. According to calculation, the central temperature of the gathered heat source can reach thousands of degrees, which can destroy everything on the earth. This kind of weapon may also appear in wars in the new century.

Chemical rain

Chemical rain weapon is a new type of weapon evolved from early meteorological weapons, and its operational effectiveness is particularly obvious in naval warfare. It is mainly composed of silver iodide, dry ice, salt and other chemicals that can make clouds form water droplets and cause continuous rainfall, and chemicals that can cause casualties or accelerate the aging of weapons and equipment. Weapons are divided into two categories, one is permanent and the other is temporary. Permanent chemical rain weapons are mainly carried by stealth aircraft or other unmanned aerial vehicles, secretly flying over enemy countries and spreading, thus accelerating the corrosion of enemy weapons and making them lose their combat capability; Temporary chemical rain weapon is mainly to make the enemy lose the ability to resist instantly, and it is composed of strong corrosive, toxic and acidic substances.

Tsunami storm

At the mention of the tsunami, people feel scared and creepy. In nature, tsunami is caused by storms and earthquakes. According to relevant records, in the summer of 1965, the nuclear test conducted by the United States in Bikini Island aroused the strong interest of military scientists in developing tsunami weapons. In that nuclear explosion, a 60-meter-high wave suddenly rose in the sea 500 meters away from the explosion center. After leaving the explosion center1500m, the wave height is still above15m. This experiment shows that future tsunami weapons will play an inestimable role if they are used in naval warfare.

turbulent

For warships, marine facilities and landing operations, wind and waves are important factors that cannot be ignored. Huge storms often lead to the destruction of ships and military facilities. Therefore, the aggregation of wind and waves and the interior of the ocean can make the ocean surface and dive deeply, which will lead to the overturning and death of enemy naval vessels, underwater submarines and other military facilities. Military scientists believe that huge wave weapons can also be used to block the coast and achieve the purpose of curbing enemy ships' attacks on the sea. However, so far, the real method of causing huge waves has not come out, but only triggered some small waves, which can be regarded as a precursor to the successful use of huge waves.
