What is the historical process of the development of meteorological weapons?

Military affairs and meteorology have always been closely linked. Ever since Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind to burn down Cao Ying, there have been endless examples in human history of using meteorological conditions to attack the enemy and protect oneself in wars?

Wars It has a long historical relationship with meteorology. From the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th century to the Iraq War in the early 20th century, meteorology and war go hand in hand? No matter how combat styles change and weapons and equipment develop, war will be affected by meteorology?

Meteorological conditions are a double-edged sword, which is fair to both combatants. The key depends on who can control it without being affected by it. If the weather conditions can be used rationally, the weather will become a "multiplier" of combat effectiveness. ”?

During the Gulf War, the special climatic conditions in the Gulf region were one of the very important factors in the strategic decision-making of the multinational forces? When choosing the time to fight against Iraq, the US military meteorological department provided the Ministry of National Defense with information on the Gulf region. The climate report pointed out that the time to fight against Iraq should be from December to March.

As early as the 1950s, when President Eisenhower was in power in the United States, the U.S. military clearly stated in a research report that "weather control is more important than atomic bombs"? The U.S. government was still in Florida The "McKinley Climate Laboratory" was established at the Tampa Bay Air Force Base in Tampa to develop meteorological weapons?

Beginning in the 1960s, meteorological weapons developed by the "McKinley Climate Laboratory" began to develop one after another Used in actual combat? During the Vietnam War, the U.S. military dispatched 26,000 aircraft sorties and launched more than 4.74 million rainfall catalytic bombs over the Vietnam combat area. The large amount of heavy rain and floods it caused made the Vietnamese army's supply line "Ho Chi Minh Trail" muddy, seriously affecting the The combat operations of the Vietnamese army?
