Does the United States have weather weapons?

The United States has weather weapons.

Weather weapons are a general term that uses weather control technology to artificially create various special weather conditions to interfere with, destroy or directly destroy a series of enemy weapon platforms. In the 1950s, U.S. President Eisenhower proposed the concept that "weather control is more important than atomic bombs." The U.S. military has been committed to the research of meteorological weapons and has conducted dozens of secret meteorological research projects. The U.S. government established the McKinley Climate Laboratory, which focuses on meteorological weapons research, and gradually applied it to battlefield practice.

Since then, the US military has begun experimental research on artificial weather modification for military purposes. Starting in 1966, the US military secretly carried out artificial rainfall on the Vietnam battlefield for seven years to disrupt traffic and cause difficulties in the mobilization and material transportation of the Vietnamese People's Army. The whole process is divided into two stages: test and practical operation. The experimental phase took place in Laos in 1966. The actual operation phase was carried out in the narrow strip of land bordering Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia during the annual rainy season from 1967 to 1972.

Technical Characteristics of Meteorological Weapons

Meteorological weapons are mainly used to cause difficulties for enemy military operations and create favorable conditions for our own military operations, such as using artificial fog to cover our own troop movements; Artificial rain disrupts enemy traffic; makes artificial rain acidic to corrode enemy equipment; emits heat-absorbing and light-absorbing substances into the atmosphere to cause sharp changes in the temperature in a predetermined area; or controls lightning to produce low-frequency electromagnetic waves in the ionosphere to harm the enemy. There are effective forces in the area; guiding the typhoon to the predetermined area, causing the enemy to be attacked by the typhoon, etc.

It can be used both strategically and in battle.

According to meteorologists’ predictions, the energy of a severe thunderstorm system is equivalent to the explosion of a 2.5 million-ton nuclear bomb. Even partial use will produce huge combat energy. According to foreign media reports, the US military is secretly developing a new type of weapon that can induce huge natural forces in specific environments. The damage caused by such a weapon could equal or exceed the damage caused by any large nuclear explosion.
