Is there any example in history that the war failed because of the weather?
Battle of Red Cliffs in ancient China is a typical example of war. There are also examples abroad: the First World War.
During the war, the Germans used the stable northeast wind in Champagne, France, to attack France with poison gas.
The poisonous gas spread 25 kilometers away from the release site, causing great losses to the French. Then Germany entered again.
The attack was launched, but only because of the sudden change of wind direction, the Germans took the consequences.
1942, Japan also fought a "wind war". According to Japanese military meteorologist Hideyoshi Arakawa,
It is suggested that Japan "mobilize" students to make "wind boats" and use timing devices to carry incendiary bombs down the sky.
Strong westerly winds (most of Japan's territory is in the westerly belt of 30-45 N and 40-60 N) will float in two or three days.
After the United States landed, forest fires in the United States broke out one after another, and it was impossible to prevent them. The us government is confused.
In order to catch the "strange man" who set fire, a large number of women were sent to the forest to watch day and night. According to statistics, from 1944.
From June 165438+ 10 to April 1945, Japan released about 9,000 balloon bombs, of which at least 287 arrived in the United States.
With the development of modern military and science and technology, people are not satisfied with simply using natural weather.
Instead, we try our best to create all kinds of "artificial climate" by scientific means, and then we get angry.
The artificial rainfall activities carried out by the US military during its invasion of Vietnam, like weapons and meteorological warfare, were all weather modification.
As the first attack attempt of meteorological weapons in actual combat, it has produced great repercussions in the world.
1972, the army caused floods artificially, which brought more losses to Vietnam than the whole Vietnam War.
The losses caused by plane bombing are even greater.
Like other weapons, meteorological weapons are developing with each passing day. Like a small fire throwing clouds.
Arrows, unfolded thin wires, silver iodide, etc. Change the charging condition of the cloud, reduce the electric field intensity and trigger the local.
Regional cloud discharge can effectively suppress lightning and create a channel without electricity or weak electric field, which is convenient.
Pass by the plane; By changing the direction of tropical typhoons, we can borrow the great destructive power of typhoons.
Cause harm to the enemy. Some people think that by controlling the weather upstream, we can control the enemy countries downstream.
Causing years of cool drought; Spreading sunlight-absorbing substances in hostile countries will cause extreme cold; Spread and suck
Materials that receive long-wave radiation from the ground will cause extreme heat in hostile countries. At present, world science and technology are developing.
Most countries are strengthening meteorological and military research. Some countries even spend huge sums of money, while others are far away from the mainland.
Establish a research and use base for meteorological weapons on the island. As can be expected, meteorological warfare is a kind of "special"
Weapons will play a greater role in the future battlefield.
