How powerful are meteorological weapons?

The development of meteorological weapons in China is as follows:

At present, the meteorological weapons being tested and used mainly include artificial rainstorm prevention, artificial drought resistance, artificial typhoon guidance, artificial lightning control, artificial fog elimination and fog making. Artificial flood storm is a method of artificial precipitation enhancement. Increasing precipitation and forming rainstorm will affect the enemy's actions and even cause floods to hurt people and destroy fields. Man-made drought is sowing silver iodide on the upper reaches of clouds, which affects the growth of crops and people's lives.

Artificial typhoon guidance is to change the typhoon path according to the operational needs and move to the densely populated areas of the enemy, which can cause unbearable damage to the other side. Artificial control of lightning is to suppress the formation of lightning by sowing sulfonated silver or wire dipoles on thunderstorm clouds. Artificial fog elimination and fog making are used to eliminate fog in airports and ports, which are beneficial to aircraft action, fog elimination in target areas, aerial reconnaissance and air-to-ground attacks, and can hide their own actions.

Meteorological weapon

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. With the continuous development of meteorological control technology, it is no longer a dream to "call the wind and rain" on the battlefield, and some meteorological weapons have the potential of "doomsday weapons" to some extent. Faced with the growing momentum of some military powers to develop meteorological weapons, people are deeply worried about this, and they are also worried about the destructive impact of the development of meteorological weapons.

Compared with conventional weapons, meteorological weapons do have an unusual "combat mode", and any change in weather contains enormous energy. Meteorological weapons are concealed and often used unexpectedly. Meteorological weapons do not need to consume a lot of ammunition and so on. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, meteorology is regarded as one of the five major factors that determine the outcome of a war, and even some military powers explicitly put forward that meteorological weapon technology should be the key technology for future development.
