Current status of weather weapons

The 2010 international convention prohibits the use of "weather weapons" by both combatants, but some countries have not stopped competing to seize "weather control power" for a moment. Among them, the United States and other Western countries are particularly active. In the US military report "Weather- "Multiplier of Combat Power: Possessing Weather Weapons in 2025" clearly lists weather analysis and technology as one of the key weapon technologies for development, and predicts that its combat power is expected to be controlled within a medium range (less than 200 square kilometers) in 2025. Battlefield weather.

In 1998, the United Kingdom input electric energy into the atmosphere along the west coast to ionize magnesium atoms in the troposphere to produce an electrostatic shielding layer with variable density to control the movement of air masses, thereby trying to control the air within a radius of 5,000 kilometers. Artificial control of weather.

According to the British monthly "Focus" report, since the 1980s, the US military has collected and compiled meteorological data from thousands of airports around the world, and revised it regularly. The US military has invested in dozens of secret meteorological research projects, including the "Argos Project" to create earthquakes, the "Skyfire Project" to create thunder and lightning, and the "Storm Project" to implement artificial rainfall around hurricanes to change the direction of the storm. wait. It is foreseeable that artificial battlefield weather modification technology will be increasingly used in future battlefields. Meteorological weapons based on artificial weather modification will definitely be an "important chess piece" in future wars.
