Climate weapons are weapons of mass destruction. The whole truth about Russia's climate weapons Synoptic weapons

The desire to create a weapon that would be comparable in power to nuclear weapons, but would not contaminate the area, has been going on for quite some time. And, of course, military experts paid attention to the forces of nature: hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, droughts. If these forces could be put into the service of the army, it would become invincible. These are precisely the thoughts that obviously arose among the authors who tried to put natural elements into military service. Such a set of means, which makes it possible to artificially cause any of the mentioned phenomena in a specific geographical location, is called a climate weapon.

The question of the existence of climate weapons is closed. Officially, no country in the world has openly admitted that it owns this kind of weapon - agreements were signed at the UN on the non-use of natural elements for military purposes. Nevertheless, work in this direction was carried out in different countries. The most advanced in this area are the USA and Russia, where work in this area has slowed down (due to the collapse of the USSR), but the legacy of Soviet science in this direction is very significant and allows active continuation of work.

Climate weapons include a set of means that can affect:

• atmosphere,
• hydrosphere,
• Earth's geosphere.
• Any of these impacts can cause catastrophic phenomena in one or another area of ​​the Earth.

What are climate weapons? It's actually a weapon mass destruction, which is also a means of destroying the economy of individual countries or an individual state. Artificial influence on weather and climate in a particular region is used as damage factors. Moreover, this region can be expanded to a mainland or continent. Climate weapons are a range of technologies that can cause atmospheric disasters. These include tornadoes, typhoons, tornadoes, and rainstorms. In addition, this type of weapon is capable of changing the general state of the climate in a specific area, causing drought, frost or soil erosion, as well as artificially creating man-made disasters that can provoke crises of an economic and political nature.

However, the creation of climate weapons faces a number of serious limitations. To influence synoptic objects, the size of which is hundreds and thousands of kilometers, and which determine the weather for a period from tens of hours to several days, gigantic technological and energy resources are required. Moreover, the effect of such an impact is unpredictable and not guaranteed, since the forecast of the consequences of this impact is very inaccurate. In addition, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of removing energy that is introduced from the outside to implement climate change. After all, a synoptic formation moves and has an impact, regardless of state borders, and therefore the result of its influence can also affect the country that caused the phenomenon.

According to scientists, at the current level of development of technology and climate technologies, such a scientific and practical task still remains technically impossible. Although it should be remembered that secret science is about a century ahead of official science. So it is impossible to objectively judge at what stage these developments are. Active work in the field of guaranteed influence on weather over an area of ​​tens of kilometers are being carried out in a number of states. And although active influence on the weather for military purposes is prohibited in accordance with international convention, however, as history shows, this will not be a decisive obstacle to the development of climate weapons.

To show how far developments in this direction could go, we should give an example from half a century ago. Already in 1954, in the vicinity of the French city of Lannemezan, a device was tested, which was a prototype of a climate weapon and which in the future served as the basis for a combat meteotron. The meteotron, as a finished invention, was tested by French professor Henri Dessen in 1961. It was a device in which air was heated, which as a result rose upward. In 1967, a more advanced device was developed in the USSR. In it, hot air was created by exhausted turbojet aircraft engines. The impact of the meteotron on the atmosphere is to create an intense flow of warm, moist air, which is directed vertically upward. As a result, the space above the meteotron is an area of ​​low pressure, which led to the birth of a destructive cyclone. Please note, this was only 1967...

HAARP - climate weapon

In 1992, construction of a powerful radar station began in Alaska, 450 kilometers from Anchorage. The facility under construction is an antenna field with an area of ​​more than 13 hectares. The plan calls for 180 special antennas. The station received the abbreviated name HAARP - High-Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. The project is presented as a research project, but it is being implemented in the interests of the US Air Force and Navy in conditions of deep secrecy. Civilian scientists are not allowed to see it. There is evidence that in this way you can change, say, the compass rose to high altitudes. This means that HAARP is capable of influencing the weather.” The least it can do is disrupt radio communications over large areas, significantly degrade the accuracy of satellite navigation, and “blind” radars, including early and long-range detection and warning systems, missile defense and air defense systems. The pulsed impact of the beam reflected from the auroral region will cause failures and accidents in the power grids of entire regions.
It should be noted that infrasonic waves have a depressing effect on the human psyche. They are also reflected by the auroral region and can plunge an entire city into a state of depression. Heating of certain areas of the atmosphere can lead to serious climate changes and, as a result, cause tornadoes, drought or floods. It is possible that increased exposure to radio waves will have a negative impact on wildlife, including humans. With the help of the HAARP system, a group of military personnel can bring the economy of an entire state to its knees within a few years. And no one will understand anything. Military experts believe that HAARP can be used as a climate weapon. Its radiation may be enough to create plasma lattices in the atmosphere that can destroy airplanes and missiles.

Weapon of the Apocalypse

What could happen if HAARP pulses start affecting the atmosphere? Dr. Rosalie Bertel (Canada), who studies the impact of war on ecosystems, believes that we are dealing with a climate weapon with potentially catastrophic consequences. Firstly, active disturbance of the ionosphere can cause so-called electron showers. This, in turn, may lead to a change in the electric potential of the poles and a subsequent displacement of the Earth's magnetic pole. This is a real weapon of the Apocalypse - the planet will “turn over”, and where the North Pole will end up is anyone’s guess. Secondly, a surge in global warming with heating by reflected waves of individual areas of the circumpolar lands with hydrocarbon deposits can cause their release. The escaping jets of gas can change the spectrum of the atmosphere, causing global cooling. Thirdly, there may be destruction of the ozone layer and unpredictable climate change across entire continents. Initially, the goals of the experiments were to increase radio communication capabilities by locally changing the ionosphere. At the same time, the effects of interaction of plasmoids with the ionosphere were obtained, which led to the development of plasma climate weapons.

Although many countries are interested in the development of such weapons, only the United States and Russia actually own such weapons. A little more is known about US weapons in this direction, and mainly we are talking about the HARP station. Russia's climate weapons were not advertised in this way, and therefore little is known about them. It’s worth mentioning right away that the information on this issue is secret and no one will talk about it out loud. We can confidently say that only that which will not give a specific idea about this type of weapon will be available on the Internet.

Climate weapons use the natural environment as a carrier: wind, Sun rays, ionosphere. The “cargo” in the form of a damaging factor is delivered to the required point and a blow is delivered that is almost impossible to resist. After all, we have not yet learned how to fight heat, drought or tornadoes.
Russia's climate weapons not only exist, but they have extensive development experience. At the same time, according to the leading specialist of the Phobos Weather Center, Evgeniy Tishkovets, it was never used (unlike the Americans, who were not very worried about the consequences). Military experts understand the full responsibility for the consequences of using such destructive force. The worst thing is that controlling climate weapons is very problematic, they are not so predictable.

Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Igor Ostretsov noted that back in the 70s of the last century, work was underway in the USSR to create such weapons. In particular, he participated in an experiment that involved influencing the Earth's magnetosphere using plasma influence. This method promised to be the most effective among a number of other projects, but it was still not used. Thus, Russia’s climate weapons have a rich backstory, which speaks of a serious scientific basis and extensive experience in this matter. For obvious reasons, such information is never heard from high-ranking officials.

Use of climate weapons

The Secret Services do not limit themselves to experimenting with stations. They already have specific types of weapons in their arsenal, which are actively used. Based on the nature of their impact, they are divided into:
Hydrospheric weapon uses as a damaging factor well-known hydrophysical phenomena initiated artificially - tsunamis, underwater turbidity and mudflows, gas hydrate eruptions, etc. Only a few “combined” methods can be considered sufficiently “apocalyptic”. For example: an under-ice detonation of a “thermal” thermonuclear charge in the area of ​​large ice masses, deposits of bottom gas hydrates and oil and gas layers, which should cause not only the melting of large masses of ice, but also an “underwater fire” such as the internal combustion of peat layers.
Lithospheric – climatic weapons that use geophysical phenomena caused artificially as a damaging factor: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, lithospheric shifts, crustal subsidence, faults, faults, tsunamis.
Magnetospheric psychotropic and climate weapons work on the laser principle . Created “directional magnetic storm” - electronic equipment and automation fail, people lose control of themselves.
It is quite difficult to hide the massive use of plasma weapons, since they are accompanied by characteristic features(Polar Lights).
Another consequence of the use of this type of psychotropic and climatic weapons is the formation in the atmosphere of a channel through which, following the “combat plasmoids,” external radiation begins, which in itself is very dangerous.
These are the types of climatic and psychotropic weapons that can be considered “apocalyptic.” It should be noted that the division of plasma weapons into psychotropic and climatic is very relative, since the principle of its operation allows it to be used in both one and the other direction. Only Russia and the USA possess these technologies. The very fact of the presence of such weapons has not yet been officially recognized by any country.

Cyclones, anticyclones, atmospheric fronts

Rumors about the development of meteorological weapons, both in the United States and in our homeland, have been circulating for a long time, but they seem too incredible. Meanwhile similar experiments indeed were and are still being carried out on both sides of the ocean. “Now there are only three such objects in the world,” said NIRFI director Sergei Snegirev. “One is in Alaska - the famous HAARP, the second is in Norway - in Tromsø, and the third, called “Sura”, is located in Russia.” American meteorologist Scott Stevens recently made loud accusations against Russia. He claims that Hurricane Katrina was created artificially by Russian military experts using a secret "weather" weapon based on the principle of an electromagnetic generator. According to the scientist, our country has had secret installations since Soviet times that can have a detrimental effect on the weather anywhere in the world. This news was immediately spread by the American press.

“It has been established that during the 60s and 70s, the former Soviet Union developed and was proud of weather modification technologies that began to be used against the United States in 1976,” Stevens states on his personal website, from which this version was taken American media. Novye Izvestia decided to check the claims of a meteorologist from Idaho and went in search of a “top-secret Russian weather control machine” and found it. The mysterious Sura base turned out to be a nondescript structure. An old stone road, a former Siberian highway, leads to the training ground. It abuts a shabby brick gatehouse with a funny sign at the entrance: “Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin passed here in 1833.” The poet then headed east to collect material about Pugachev’s uprising. Now the abandoned road leads to the neighboring villages of the Republic of Mari El, which begin immediately beyond the fence of the landfill.

"Sura"

The Russian “weather” object “Sura” is comparable in power to the American HAARP and is located in the central zone of Russia, in remote places, 150 kilometers from Nizhny Novgorod. "Sura" belongs to the Radiophysical Research Institute, one of the leading research institutes of the USSR. “Sura” is a somewhat rusty, battered stand due to lack of money, but despite everything, it is still functioning. On an area of ​​9 hectares there are even rows of twenty-meter antennas, overgrown with bushes below. In the center of the antenna field there is a huge horn-emitter the size of a village hut, with the help of which acoustic processes in the atmosphere are studied. At the edge of the field there is a radio transmitter building and a transformer substation, and a little further away there are laboratory and utility buildings. "Sura" was built in the late seventies and was put into operation in 1981. This completely unique installation yielded extremely interesting results on the behavior of the ionosphere, including the discovery of the effect of generating low-frequency radiation when modulating ionospheric currents, which was later named the Getmantsev effect after the founder of the stand. At first, work on the Sur was financed to a large extent by the military department, but after the collapse of the Union such work is no longer carried out. Now we work not only in the interests of domestic science, but also participate in international ionospheric research projects. The fundamental difference between Sura and NAARP is that the Russian installation is located in the middle latitudes, and not in the polar latitudes, where the northern lights occur. But in the North, the tension lines of the Earth’s magnetosphere converge. By influencing them, you can influence the state of the magnetosphere, at a minimum cause artificial northern lights, at a maximum disable the electronics of satellites and other equipment, as well as cause malfunctions in the operation of ground-based technical systems. However, the Sura does not yet know how to send hurricanes to America. But research into the relationship between natural disasters and disturbances in the ionosphere and magnetosphere is not as widespread as in the United States, but is still being conducted. “On a foreign business trip, I came across a wonderful book about the HAARP project, which describes 11 methods of its military use,” said Yuri Tokarev, head of the solar-terrestrial relations department of NIRFI, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences. “The Americans are trying with all their might to achieve the declared results, "They are testing new technologies for influencing the near-Earth environment at HAAR, and they have indeed obtained some interesting results. Heating of the ionosphere can create artificial plasma formations (plasma clouds), significantly affect the operation of various radio systems, and cause an artificial glow in the night sky." In the early eighties, when Sura was just beginning to be actively used, interesting observations were observed in the atmosphere above it. anomalous phenomena . Many workers saw strange glows, burning red balls hanging motionless or flying at high speed in the sky. This is not a UFO, but only the luminescent glow of plasma formations. At the moment, work on studying the ionospheric glow under active influence is one of the important areas of research. “It is possible to influence the weather, but not on such a large scale as in the case of hurricanes Katrina or Rita. Neither we nor they - no one knows how to do this yet,” continues Yuri Tokarev. “The power of the installations is not enough. Even that power ", to which they want to bring HAARP in the near future, will not be enough to effectively organize natural disasters." Now "Sura" works approximately 100 hours a year. The institute does not have enough money for electricity for heating experiments. Just one day of intensive work at the stand can deprive the test site of its monthly budget. Americans conduct experiments on HAARP for 2000 hours a year, that is, 20 times more. The size of the appropriations, according to the most rough estimates, is $300 million per year. Russian science spends only 40 thousand dollars on similar purposes, almost 7500 times less. Meanwhile, in a few years, NAARP should reach its design capacity of 3.5 gigawatts, which is already an order of magnitude greater than the capacity of Sura. “If this continues, we risk losing the main thing, namely the understanding of what is happening there,” says one of the NIRFI scientists, professor at Nizhny Novgorod University Savely Grach. “Both Sura and HAARP are not weapons, but only research laboratories. But the processes developed in them, in the future, quite possibly, will be used for military purposes. One should not hope that the Americans will give up the temptation to build something special with characteristics that are fantastic for the common man. But then it will be "It's too late to catch up. Now, despite the general lack of money in the 90s, we are still superior to the Americans in understanding the processes occurring in the ionosphere. But the material and technical base is being destroyed, people are leaving abroad, and the gap is incredibly narrowing." “It’s just a miracle that “Sura” was preserved at all,” said the head of the test site, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences Georgy Komrakov. “Personally, I, far from a young man, sat in ambushes with an ax at night, watching for hunters for non-ferrous metals Here, in an area the size of several football fields, it is not so easy to keep track of them in the dark. Imagine what efforts were required to save the installation with two village watchmen, who themselves are not averse to stealing. For example, one of the NIRFI training grounds was looted to the ground in the nineties. It is currently not functioning. "Sura" could have suffered the same fate."

HAARP

In the northern United States, 400 kilometers from Anchorage, at the Gakhona military base there is unusual object. A huge area of ​​tundra is planted with a forest of 25-meter antennas. This is HAARP - High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program or "Northern Lights Auroral Region Active Research Project". The base is surrounded by barbed wire, the perimeter is guarded by armed marine patrols, and air space above the research stand is buried for all types of civil and military aircraft. After the events of September 11, around HAARP established and anti-aircraft systems Air defense Patriot. HAARP was built jointly by the US Navy and Air Force. The Americans do not hide the capabilities of the system. Open sources claim that the stand is used to actively influence the ionosphere and magnetosphere of the Earth. This in turn can lead to amazing results. Scientific journals claim that with the help of HAARP it is possible to cause artificial northern lights and jam over-the-horizon radar stations for early detection of launches with interference. ballistic missiles, communicate with submarines in the ocean and even discover the enemy’s underground secret complexes. The radio emission of the installation is capable of penetrating underground and then diagnosing hidden bunkers and tunnels, burning out electronics, and disabling space satellites. Technologies have also been developed to influence the atmosphere, which lead to weather changes. HAARP is allegedly used to trigger natural disasters, heavy rainfall, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes similar to Katrina and Rita. “Officially, HAARP is presented only as a research laboratory used to improve radio communications,” said former chairman of the defense committee Andrei Nikolaev. “But the program has a military component. The United States is already close to creating geophysical weapons. Near-Earth space, the ionosphere, and the magnetosphere may turn out to be under the active influence of HAARP, provoking man-made disasters." “HAARP is very serious,” commented Valery Stasenko, a specialist in active influences in the atmosphere of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. “It is no coincidence that Lately World science has coined the term “space weather.” This is the relationship between solar activity, disturbances in the magnetosphere and ionosphere of the Earth with the processes that occur in the atmosphere. Disturbances in the magnetosphere and ionosphere do indeed affect the climate. Therefore, by influencing them artificially with the help of powerful installations, it is possible to influence the weather, including globally. It is very correct that the deputies finally paid attention to experiments of this kind in America."

European floods of 2002 - consequences of American tests of geophysical weapons?

American meteorologists are not the only ones who accuse their neighbors on the planet of using a “hurricane cannon”. Fragmentary information about dubious experiments with weather in both the USA and the USSR has more than once become the cause of political scandals in many countries around the world. After the famous flood of 2002, similar scandals swept across Europe. Then parliamentarians accused the Americans of undermining the EU economy. After the tragic march of Hurricane Katrina across the United States, Americans vividly recalled the warning of Vice-Speaker of the Russian State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky to US President George W. Bush. Let us recall that the leader of the LDPR in September 2002, during a visit to Iraq, in his informal and unofficial address to the US President, where he called him a “fucking cowboy,” said: “At night, our scientists will slightly change the gravitational field of the Earth, and your country will will be under water. 24 hours, b... - and your whole country will be under the water of the Atlantic, Pacific Ocean. Who are you kidding with, b...?" Russian politicians did not stand aside. The first officials to start looking for climate weapons were State Duma deputies from the LDPR and Communist Party factions. In 2002, the Defense Committee brought up for discussion the issue of the harmful effects on the climate of experiments to disturb the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. The object of the deputies' research was the American HAARP system, which is being built in Alaska. “The catastrophic flood in Germany, France and the Czech Republic, the tornadoes off the coast of Italy, where there have never been tornadoes, are nothing more than the disastrous consequences of the Americans testing geophysical weapons,” said State Duma deputy of the third convocation Tatyana Astrakhankina. “The weapon has already been created and tested in low power modes. The installation will soon be completed and its power will increase several times." Deputies heatedly discussed the use of HAARP, as a result of which in 2002 they prepared appeals to President Vladimir Putin, as well as to the United Nations, demanding the creation of a common international commission to investigate the experiments carried out in Alaska. Then the scandalous appeal was signed by 90 people's representatives.

"Sura" is not the only domestic "weather" project

It is no secret that in the Soviet Union there was serious research into methods of actively influencing the weather, both using chemical reagents, which later became widespread, and with the help of powerful radio radiation and small plasma generators. “More than 20 years ago, studies of the relationship between ionospheric disturbances and processes occurring in the atmosphere were carried out at the Institute of Thermal Processes,” said Valentin Isaev, scientific secretary of the Keldysh Research Center. “Our employee Yuri Utkin, a very enthusiastic and gifted specialist, was engaged in similar research. Under his supervision management prepared plasma installations that were delivered to the upper atmosphere by meteorological missiles MR-12 and MR-20. The results of those experiments were not made public and, like many others, were classified. Unfortunately, the center has now moved away from such topics, work in this direction are not being conducted, and Yuri Utkin died four years ago." The experiments, as scientists now admit, had a military purpose and were developed to disrupt the location and radio communications of a potential enemy, that is, the United States. Plasma formations created by installations in the ionosphere jammed American early warning systems for missile launches. But the aggressive impact on the ionosphere had side effects. With certain disturbances in the ionosphere, minor changes in the atmosphere began to be observed. Utkin believed that somewhere here lay the key to climate control. After the death of the scientist, many of his works were declared lost. In addition, in both the USSR and the USA in the 50-60s, high-power nuclear warheads were detonated at an altitude of up to 300 kilometers in the ionosphere. Beams of radio emission instantly spread along the tension lines of the magnetosphere, disturbed the ionosphere and paralyzed radio communications. However, secondary results of the experiment were recorded. The northern lights appeared in tropical latitudes, and a number of natural anomalies were also discovered, such as small earthquakes and landslides on the other side of the globe. Technologies of former secret research institutes are still timidly, but are being promoted for use in civilian purposes. Not long ago, a similar device was tested with the assistance of the Russian Academy natural sciences . “The first tests of the ion generator brought a lot of interesting results,” said Doctor of Technical Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Mikhail Shakhramanyan. “When the device is operating, the flow of oxygen ions rises, causing, depending on the selected mode, a local rupture of clouds or the formation of clouds. In April 2004, near Yerevan "Using two GIONK-type devices, we achieved the formation of cumulonimbus clouds in a clear sky. On April 15-16, 25-27 mm of precipitation fell in Yerevan, which is approximately 50% of the monthly norm. These results are confirmed by protocols signed by independent observers." However, this device has many opponents, and the inventors of the ion generator have more than once been accused of ordinary quackery. The Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring firmly states that at the moment the most effective and trouble-free technologies are technologies for influencing clouds using chemical reagents, developed in subordinate research institutes. However, work with the ion generator continues. The generator really works,” noted Valery Stasenko, head of the active influences department of Roshydromet. - But its impact on the atmosphere is extremely insignificant. Air ionization, without a doubt, occurs, but only locally, in the immediate vicinity of the apparatus. Global cyclone management is out of the question. The generator power is too weak. The influence of ionization on atmospheric processes has not yet been studied in order to use these designs seriously in the national economy. To obtain a more or less noticeable effect, the operation of these devices will require gigantic powers, which are comparable only to HAARP. However, in this case, the question arises about the harm that such installations cause to humans and the environment." Director of the Hydrometeorological Center of the Russian Federation Roman Vilfand is confident that there will be no such typhoons as in the United States in Russia. "In Russia, tropical cyclones occur mainly in Primorye and affect such regions as Kamchatka and Sakhalin. And in the rest of Russia there are no typhoons,” Vilfand said. According to him, in Russia “very dangerous phenomena occur in winter,” in particular, intense snowfalls, snow drifts, snow storms. However, as Vilfand noted, they do not pose such a danger , like typhoons or storms, reports RIA Novosti. He also noted that in Russia “people can feel safer in winter than in summer.” “The fact is that in winter the accuracy of forecasts is higher than in summer,” the director emphasized Hydrometeorological center.

The appearance in the future of fundamentally new types of weapons will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the methods and methods of waging war, on the definition of its ultimate goals, and on the very content of the concept of “victory.” The use of new types of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and even the threat of their use will be aimed, first of all, at achieving the most important political and economic goals, perhaps without direct contact between the troops of the opposing sides and without conducting combat operations in their traditional sense.

This could lead to the abandonment of armed clashes between large armies and the physical destruction of people directly on the battlefield. They will be replaced by slow-acting agents that will have a damaging effect on the human body and destroy its vitality, undermine the life support system, protection from meteorological and infectious factors, thus leading to the gradual death of people or long-term incapacitation.

Geophysical weapons

Scientists have long been drawing attention to the danger associated with the possibility of creating “geophysical weapons”, the basis of which is the use of means that cause natural disasters (earthquakes, rainstorms, tsunamis, etc.), as well as the destruction of the ozone layer of the atmosphere, which protects animals And vegetable world from solar radiation. The first attempts to artificially stimulate storm rains to destroy irrigation structures in order to create floods over large areas are known. Such attempts were made by the United States during the Vietnam War.

Geophysical weapons are based on the use of means for military purposes to influence processes occurring in the solid, liquid and gaseous shells of the Earth. In this case, states of unstable equilibrium are of particular interest, when a relatively small push can cause catastrophic consequences and exposure of the enemy to powerful destructive forces of nature (“trigger effect”). Of particular importance for the use of such means is the atmospheric layer with a height of 10 to 60 kilometers. Based on the nature of their impact, geophysical weapons are usually divided into meteorological, ozone and climate.

Weather weapons

In northern Alaska, 320 kilometers from Anchorage, at the foot of the mountains, there is a forest of 24-meter antennas, involuntarily attracting the attention of meteorologists and ecologists. The official name of the project is "High Freguency Active Auroral Research Program" (HAARP). According to American representatives, the HAARP project is intended to study ways to improve radio communications. According to a number of prominent scientists, in reality, Pentagon-led work is being carried out in Alaska for military purposes. In particular, scientists believe that with the help of directional antennas, beams of high-frequency radio waves are “shot” into the ionosphere, which at high altitudes heat the ionosphere to form plasma. This creates energy instability in the ionosphere, changing the wind pattern, causing tsunamis, thunderstorms, floods, and snowfalls.

The most studied effect of such weapons is to provoke rainstorms in certain areas. For this purpose, in particular, the dispersion of silver iodide or lead iodide in rain clouds was used. The purpose of such actions may be to impede the movement of troops and especially heavy equipment and weapons, create floods and flood large areas. Meteorological aids can also be used to disperse clouds in the area of ​​the intended bombing to ensure targeting, especially against point targets. A cloud several thousand cubic kilometers in size, containing energy reserves of about a million kilowatt-hours, can be in such an unstable state that about 1 kilogram of silver iodide is enough to dramatically change its state. Several aircraft, using hundreds of kilograms of this substance, are capable of dispersing clouds over an area of ​​​​several thousand square kilometers, causing heavy precipitation.

Work on the creation of meteorological weapons has a long history. Soon after the end of the Second World War, intensive research began to be carried out in the United States to study the processes occurring in the atmosphere under the influence of external influences: “Skyfire” (the possibility of lightning formation), “Prime Argus” (methods of causing earthquakes), “Stormfury” (hurricane control) . The results of this work have not been widely reported. It is known, however, that in 1961, American scientists conducted an experiment to throw more than three hundred and fifty thousand two-centimeter copper needles into the atmosphere, which changed the thermal balance of the ionosphere. It is believed that it was as a result of this that an 8.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in Alaska, and part of the coast of Chile slid into the ocean. A sharp change in thermal processes occurring in the atmosphere can also cause the formation of powerful tsunamis. The danger posed by tsunamis hitting coastal areas is illustrated by the tragedy in New Orleans and Louisiana, which were affected by the Katrina tsunami in September 2005. It was a natural disaster, but scientists do not exclude the possibility of creating an equally destructive tsunami near enemy territory by exploding a powerful thermonuclear charge in the ocean at a depth of several hundred meters.

Climate weapons

Climate weapons are considered as a type of geophysical weapon, since in this case climate change occurs as a result of interference in the global processes of weather formation in the Earth's atmosphere.

The purpose of using such weapons could be to reduce agricultural production in the territory of a potential enemy, deteriorate the food supply to its population, and disrupt the implementation of socio-economic programs. In a country exposed to climate weapons, desired political and economic changes can be achieved without starting a war in the traditional sense.

Some experts believe that a drop of just 1 degree could have catastrophic consequences. average annual temperature in the mid-latitude region, where the bulk of grain is produced. When carrying out large-scale extermination wars for fertile territories with the help of climate weapons, massive losses of the population of large regions can be caused. However, given the deep interconnection of climate processes occurring in different parts of the world, the use of climate weapons will be poorly controlled, that is, cause significant damage to neighboring countries, including the country that uses such weapons.

Ozone weapon

The ozone layer of the atmosphere is in dynamic equilibrium with the environment, in which ozone is formed from molecular oxygen under the influence of solar radiation and its decomposition under the influence of factors such as the release of industrial gases into the atmosphere, exhaust Vehicle, nuclear testing in the atmosphere, the release of nitrogen oxides from mineral fertilizers and chlorofluorocarbons (freons) from various refrigeration and air conditioning systems. The ozone layer is very sensitive to external influences.

Accordingly, ozone weapons can be a set of means (for example, missiles equipped with chemicals such as freons) for artificially destroying the ozone layer over selected areas of enemy territory. The formation of such “windows” will create conditions for the penetration of hard ultraviolet radiation from the Sun with a wavelength of about 0.3 microns to the Earth’s surface. It has a detrimental effect on the cells of living organisms, cellular structures and the hereditary apparatus, causes skin burns, and contributes to a sharp increase in the number of cancers in humans and animals. It is believed that the most tangible result of the impact will be an increase in population mortality, a decrease in the productivity of animals and agricultural plants in areas over which the ozone layer has been destroyed. Disruption of processes occurring in the ozonosphere may also affect the heat balance of these areas and the weather. A decrease in ozone content should lead to a decrease in average temperature and an increase in humidity, which is especially dangerous for areas of unstable, critical agriculture. In this area, the ozone weapon merges with the climate weapon.

RF EMP weapons

Among non-nuclear weapons, radio frequency weapons are often mentioned, affecting humans and various objects using a powerful electromagnetic pulse (EMP).

For the first time, an electromagnetic pulse capable of damaging various technical devices became widely known during the first tests of nuclear weapons in the USA and the USSR. However, as it soon turned out, EMP arose not only during the process of a nuclear explosion. Already in the 1950s, academician Andrei Sakharov first proposed the principle of constructing a non-nuclear “electromagnetic bomb”. In this design, the magnetic field of the solenoid is compressed by the explosion of a chemical explosive, resulting in a powerful pulse of electromagnetic radiation.

In Russia, the Institute of Thermophysics of Extreme States, headed by Academician Vladimir Fortov, plays an important role in research into EMP weapons and methods of protection against them. V. Fortov emphasized that although EMP weapons are characterized as “non-lethal,” experts classify them as strategic weapons that can be used to disable key objects of the state and military control system.

In recent years, Russia has made significant progress in the development of stationary research generators that create high values ​​of magnetic field strength and maximum current. Such generators can serve as a prototype of an “electromagnetic gun”, the range of which can reach hundreds of meters or more, depending on what equipment needs to be affected.

Existing technologies allow a number of countries to supply their armed forces with various modifications of ammunition with powerful EMP radiation, which can be used during combat operations. During the 1991 Gulf War, the United States used Tomahawk cruise missiles to suppress enemy electronic weapons, which created EMP radiation with a power of up to 5 MW when their warheads were fired. At the very beginning of the war with Iraq in 2003, an EMP bomb was dropped on the television center in Baghdad, which instantly disabled all the electronic equipment of the television center. Earlier, in 1999, the Americans tested the same bomb in Yugoslavia (destruction of a television center in Belgrade).

Studies of the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the human body have shown that even when irradiated with EMR of a sufficiently low intensity, various disturbances and changes occur in it, in particular, disturbances in the rhythm of the heart, even to the point of cardiac arrest. In this case, two types of impact were noted - thermal and non-thermal. Thermal exposure causes overheating of tissues and organs and, with sufficiently long radiation, causes irreversible pathological changes in them. Non-thermal exposure mainly leads to functional disorders in various organs of the human body, especially in the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Laser weapons

Lasers are powerful emitters of electromagnetic energy in the optical range - quantum generators. The damaging effect of a laser beam is achieved by heating the object's materials to high temperatures. This causes melting or even evaporation of materials, damage to sensitive elements of weapons, blinding of a person’s visual organs, up to irreversible consequences, and causing severe injuries in the form of thermal burns to the skin. For the enemy, the effect of laser radiation is characterized by surprise, secrecy, and the absence external signs in the form of fire, smoke, sound, high accuracy, straightness of distribution, almost instantaneous action. It is possible to create land-, sea-, air- and space-based laser combat systems for various purposes with varying power, range, rate of fire, and ammunition.

The objects of destruction of such complexes can be enemy personnel, their optical systems, aircraft and missiles of various types. There is no doubt that laser weapons will be increasingly used, designed to destroy both enemy personnel and combat weapons.

It is known that the United States has been developing laser rifles that emit a thin, low-energy beam for many years. This rifle was capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 1.5 km. A shot from such a gun is practically invisible and inaudible. If the beam enters the eyes, it causes damage to the visual organs of varying degrees of severity, up to complete blindness. The safety glasses used in these cases provide protection only against certain wavelengths. To comprehensively study the damaging effects of laser radiation and methods of protection against it, more than a thousand tests were carried out in the United States back in the mid-1950s.

Much attention is also paid to work on creating combat models of laser weapons in Russia. The projects "Ranets-E" and "Rosa-E" were successfully carried out at the Moscow Radio Engineering Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. With the help of the Mobile Microwave Defense System (MMDS) Project, it is planned to ensure the creation of defense of the most important facilities from high-precision weapons. The MMSZ should include an antenna system, a high-power generator, control and measuring equipment. The entire system must be mounted on a mobile base and ensure the prompt transfer of the Ranets-E system to the desired area. This weapon must have an output power of over 500 MW, operate in the centimeter range, and emit pulses lasting 10-20 nanoseconds. The Ranza-E microwave gun is designed to hit targets at a range of up to 10 km, providing a circular firing sector. The mass of such a system will exceed 5 tons. The first information about the new weapon was received by visitors to the Russian pavilion of exhibitions in Singapore and Lima in 2001. This was a kind of breakthrough when original design developments came first, modified depending on customer requests.

Experts, not without reason, believe that laser weapons will be most widely used in connection with the creation of large-scale missile defense on US territory. In 1996, the United States began creating airborne laser weapons ABL (Airborne Laser), designed to destroy missiles in the flight path, especially in the acceleration area, where they are most vulnerable. A powerful laser system with a fuel supply of tens of tons will be placed on board a Boeing 747. When a crisis situation arises, the Boeing takes off and patrols at an altitude of 10-12 km, having the ability to detect an enemy missile within two to three seconds and defeat it at a range of up to 300 km. The full test program is planned to be completed in the near future, in such a way as to create a squadron of seven such aircraft by 2008. In February 2000, one of the leading military-industrial consortiums, Martin-Boeing-TRW, signed a contract with the Pentagon providing for the development of the main elements of a space laser station with the expectation of carrying out full-scale tests in 2012. Completion of the full cycle of work on creating a space-based combat laser is planned for 2020.

The range of possible uses of laser weapons is very wide and diverse, and specialists will apparently have the opportunity to encounter new ways of using them and targets for destruction more than once.

Acoustic weapons

When considering the problems of creating and damaging effects of acoustic weapons, it should be taken into account that in general it covers three characteristic frequency ranges - the infrasonic range with frequencies below 20 hertz, the audible range (from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz) and the ultrasonic range (over 20 kilohertz) . This gradation is determined by the characteristics of the impact of sound on the human body and, above all, on his hearing aid. It has been established that hearing thresholds, levels of pain and other negative effects on the human body decrease with increasing sound frequency from several hertz to 250 hertz.

In recent years, a wide range of work has been carried out in the United States in the field of non-lethal weapons (NLW) at the Army Research, Development and Maintenance Center (ARDEC) at the Pakatinny Arsenal (New Jersey). A number of projects to create devices that generate acoustic "bullets" emitted by large-diameter antennas have been carried out by the Scientific Research and Application Association (SARA) in Huntington Beach, California.

According to the creators of the new weapon, it should expand the possible range of use of military force not only on the battlefield, but also in a number of situations during police or peacekeeping operations. Research is underway to create infrasound systems using large loudspeakers and powerful amplifiers, which require the development of effective design cooling measures and new materials to ensure their reliable operation. SARA and ARDEC's joint effort to develop high-power, low-frequency acoustic weapons is intended to protect American institutions abroad.

In the UK, infrasound emitters have been developed that affect not only the human hearing system, but also cause resonance internal organs with cardiac dysfunction, up to fatal outcome. These weapons were used during the fight against unrest in Northern Ireland. To destroy troop personnel located in bunkers and in combat vehicles, very low-frequency acoustic “bullets”, formed by the superposition of ultrasonic vibrations emitted by large antennas, were also tested. According to American experts in the field of “non-lethal weapons” J. and S. Morris, Russia is also carrying out a complex of work in the field of acoustic weapons and impressive results have been obtained. The Americans, in particular, stated that they were shown in Russia a working device that generates an infrasonic pulse with a frequency of 10 hertz “the size of a baseball,” a power that is supposedly sufficient to inflict a serious injury on a person at a distance of hundreds of meters, even death.

Infrasonic vibrations, which are below the level of perception of the human ear, can cause a state of anxiety, despair, and horror. According to some experts, exposure to infrasound radiation in people leads to epilepsy, and with significant radiation power - to death. Death can occur as a result of a sharp disruption of the functions of individual human organs, damage to the cardiovascular system, destruction of blood vessels and internal organs. Experts believe that by selecting radiation of a certain frequency, it is possible to provoke massive manifestations of myocardial infarction among military personnel and the enemy population. One should take into account the ability of infrasonic vibrations to penetrate concrete and metal barriers, which undoubtedly increases interest in these weapons.

The impact of acoustic weapons on the human body is very diverse and covers a wide range of possible consequences. The report on SARA's work, which summarized the results of research over the previous period of time, indicated, in particular, that infrasound at a level of 110-130 dB has a negative effect on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, causing pain and nausea. High levels of anxiety and distress are achieved with minute-long exposures as low as 90 to 120 dB at low frequencies (5 to 200 hertz), and severe physical injury and damage occurs at levels of 140 to 150 dB.

At low frequencies, excited resonances of internal organs can cause bleeding and spasms, and in the medium frequency range (0.5-2.5 kilohertz) resonances in the air cavities of the body will cause nervous excitement, tissue injury and overheating of internal organs.

Its use could lead to planetary disaster.
According to forecasters, new destructive hurricanes are approaching the US coast, and Europe should expect even more massive floods. What are these: natural processes, the consequences of careless human intervention in nature, or tests of meteorological weapons? Scientists and politicians contradict each other. And yet we will try to get closer to the truth.... ....

Ritual dances of the “petrels”
As usual, in order to test the positions of competitors, parliamentarians are brought into the larger political arena. As soon as the world began to smell the Iraqi problem, Vladimir Zhirinovsky visited this country. The LDPR leader, in an informal address to the US President, said that “at night, our scientists will slightly change the Earth’s gravitational field, and your country will be under water.”

After Hurricane Katrina, the North American continent remembered the speech of the Deputy Speaker of the Russian State Duma. As American meteorologist from Idaho Scott Stevens reported, this hurricane “could have been initiated by a “weather weapon” developed in the USSR, which, using powerful electromagnetic waves, generates instability of air masses.” According to Stevens, weather modification technologies have been used against the United States since 1976. True, there is a version that Hurricane Katrina was the result of an unsuccessful test of American weather weapons, but experts from both countries prefer to remain silent about this.

Although, our politicians, who are especially sensitive to international life, were on the alert this time too. The Defense Committee brought up for discussion the issue of the harmful effects on the climate of experiments to disturb the ionosphere and magnetosphere of the Earth. Deputies heatedly discussed the use of the American HAAP system in Alaska. Tatyana Astrakhankina stated that “the catastrophic flood in Germany, France and the Czech Republic, the tornadoes off the coast of Italy, where there have never been tornadoes, are nothing more than the disastrous consequences of the Americans testing geophysical weapons.” Parliamentarians accused the Americans of undermining the EU economy and trying to bring down the euro.

As Andrei Nikolaev, Chairman of the Defense Committee, argued at the time, “The United States is already close to creating geophysical weapons. The near-Earth space, ionosphere, and magnetosphere may be under active influence from the NAARP, provoking man-made disasters.”

As a result of the debate, they prepared appeals to President Vladimir Putin and the UN, where they demanded the creation of an international commission to investigate the experiments in Alaska. It is unknown how Putin reacted; the UN chose not to notice the appeal. Meanwhile, some experts believe that the severe frosts last winter were nothing more than the Americans’ response to Russia’s decision to stop gas supplies to Ukraine.
Following the example of the Sun
The United States first used weather weapons in the Vietnam War. By detonating chemical missiles over combat areas, they provoked prolonged downpours. There is also a known case of weather terrorism, when in the mid-80s in the Spanish province of Soria, unknown planes scattered clouds, causing drought. Local farmers decided to destroy the “rain pirates,” but by that time they had disappeared and the drought had stopped.

The founder of American meteorological weapons is considered to be Professor Gordon MacDonald from the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California. In the mid-60s, he formulated the basics of its application. The challenge is to identify instabilities in the atmosphere. If you add a small amount of energy to them, gigantic energy flows. Approximately the same effect on earth's weather Sun.

Changes in solar radiation fluxes lead to disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field and in the upper layers of the atmosphere, affecting, for example, the formation of cyclones. A thundercloud carries energy comparable to atomic bomb and within ten minutes it can be influenced, weakening or activating the processes occurring in it. This work began in the 60s and most likely continues at full speed.

Disaster laboratories
Open sources mention three objects capable of influencing the ionosphere using high-frequency radiation. These are HAARP in Alaska, its “little brother” in Tromso (Norway), and Sura in Russia. Outwardly, they are very similar: a web of many antennas is scattered over an area of ​​several hectares. Officially, these objects are intended to study physical processes in the ionosphere. With powerful streams of radiation, they heat the ionosphere, forming plasma - sparkling balls of ionized gas. They are sometimes mistaken for UFOs. But the military knows well that with modern air and space tracking technology, not a single aircraft can approach the Earth unnoticed. And legends about UFOs became one of the official covers for the work of these laboratories, a reason for collecting information about the results of experiments.

The Americans do not hide the capabilities of HAARP. A book was even published in the United States that outlines the principles of its military use. According to the authors, NAARP can create northern lights, jam radar stations for early detection of ballistic missile launches, communicate with submarines in the ocean, detect underground objects, disable space satellites, create rainstorms, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes similar to Katrina. .

The Americans have clearly gone too far with the capabilities of their “weather cuisine”. According to Russian experts, it is possible to influence the weather, but modeling hurricanes like Katrina is still a long way off. The power of HAARP will not be enough even when it reaches 3.5 gigawatts. But in the future, while maintaining good funding, which today is more than $300 million a year, significant results can be expected.

It is known about “Sura” that the power of the object is comparable to that of the American one. Research is ongoing, but our scientists do not yet know how to “attack” America with hurricanes. Specialists are in poverty due to lack of funds for experiments. Russian science spends only about 40 thousand dollars on them.

According to Saveliy Grach, a professor at the University of Nizhny Novgorod, Sura and HAARP are just research laboratories. But the processes developed on them will quite possibly be used for military purposes in the future. Now, despite the lack of money in the 90s, Russian scientists are still superior to Americans in understanding the processes occurring in the ionosphere. But the material and technical base is being destroyed, people are leaving abroad.

It’s sad, but behind these words lies not regret, but the duty of a scientist who does not have the right to divulge state secrets. He and other specialists working in this field apparently have secrets that are more valuable than life. Thus, in the USSR and the USA in the 60s, high-power nuclear explosions were carried out at an altitude of up to 300 kilometers in the ionosphere. They paralyzed radio communications, the northern lights appeared in tropical latitudes, and small earthquakes and landslides occurred. No other effects have been reported. To this day they are classified as “secret”.

This is not the pampas, the climate here is different...
Meteorological weapons remain a mystery, because their gigantic capabilities have not yet been studied. And it may seem to someone that by opening them you can become the ruler of the world. For example, the capture of entire continents can begin suddenly, and no one will understand that a war has begun. And thunderstorms and ball lightning can become precision weapons.

The Pentagon is actively studying the possibilities of managing precipitation, storms, space weather, fog and cloudiness, creating “artificial weather”, as well as “counter-weather”. Imagine a battle between two armies fighting with climate weapons! We are accustomed to the most severe frosts, but it will not be easy for anyone to withstand the sizzling heat. By the way, experiments have already been carried out when, after the partial destruction of the protective atmospheric layer of the Earth, the area where the sun's rays fell burned out.

According to leading experts, the weather in Russia is due to geographical location, despite the fact that it was taken into the “pincers” of the US laboratory (Alaska-Norway), it is very difficult to control. Director of the Hydrometeorological Center of the Russian Federation Roman Vilfand is confident that we will not have such typhoons as in the United States. For Russia, intense snowfalls remain the most dangerous. But they are not as scary as typhoons or storms. And yet weather disasters and inexplicable weather conditions recent years make us wonder whether experiments with weather will lead to a catastrophe on a planetary scale.

Vladimir Dernovoy, expert of the Analytical Directorate of NTK Zvezda

In the 21st century, will military missiles and aircraft be replaced by meteorological weapons?
It is quite possible that in the wars of the 21st century " peacekeeping operations“Western states will take place not with the participation of strategic bombers, but with the use of meteorological weapons.

After all, it is much cheaper to flood the enemy’s territory with rain (or dry it out with drought), to destroy its economy with hurricanes and tornadoes, than to send winged Tomahawks for 200 thousand dollars apiece. By the way, a strategic bomber using stealth technology (invisibility to radars) costs hundreds of millions of dollars. It's easier to work with the climate

For the first time, weather weapons were used during vietnam war United States. With the help of special rockets charged with chemicals, they caused prolonged torrential rains over the desired enemy areas.

Rain as a weapon

The “rain on demand” technology has been well developed by meteorologists and is no secret. When clouds have gathered over the desired area, they, for example, can be shot from anti-aircraft guns or using surface-to-air missiles with filling. Silver iodide is used to make rain. If the cloud needs to be dispelled, cement dust is used.
According to some reports, terrorists have already tried to cause an artificial drought. In the mid-80s, a strange plane often appeared over the town of Almazul in the Spanish province of Soria. He arrived as soon as the storm clouds gathered. Several flights through the clouds - and the clouds cleared.
The unknown people were nicknamed “rain pirates.” Local farmers believed that their goal was to turn Soria into a desert. The authorities simply laughed at the theory that terrorists were the cause of the drought, so the farmers seriously wanted to raise money and buy the Stinger. After some time, the mysterious flights stopped. The drought has also passed.

Principles of the “absolute weapon”

The basic operating principle of meteorological weapons was formulated in 1966 by Professor Gordon MacDonald from the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California (USA). According to him, the main task of scientists is “to identify instabilities in the environment in order to, by adding a small amount of energy to them, release gigantic energy flows.”
Meteorologists say that the main conductor who controls the weather is the Sun. Any, even small, change in the influx of solar radiation changes the weather on Earth, in particular, controls the formation of cyclones. This occurs due to disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field and processes in the ionosphere.
Let us recall that the ionosphere is the upper layers of the atmosphere (50-80). The air there is discharged and ionized (excited) due to the action of solar radiation and cosmic radiation. The upper boundary of the ionosphere - outer part magnetosphere (magnetic field) of the Earth.
The energy of atmospheric processes is very high. For example, one thunder cloud releases energy equivalent to the explosion of an atomic bomb. Scientists are not yet able to suppress such an impulse. However, they paid attention to the state of instability of such a cloud, discovered a so-called “window”, when within 5-10 minutes it can be influenced by special means, significantly weakening or, conversely, activating the processes occurring in it.
Therefore, scientists were faced with the task of learning to influence the “critical points” of the weather. Work began in the mid-80s and continues in full swing to this day.

HAARP and Sura - generators of disasters?

There are two sites in Russia and the United States that may be related to weather warfare. The NAARP complex is located in Alaska, and the Sura training ground was built in central Russia.
The main purpose of these objects is to influence the ionosphere using high-frequency radiation. They look almost the same: hundreds of bizarrely shaped antennas, occupying an area the size of several football fields.
HAARP stands for Northern Lights Auroral Active Research Project. Like Sura, the complex is officially designed to study the physical processes occurring in the ionosphere. Powerful radiation streams “heat” it, causing the formation of plasma. Bizarre sparkling balls of ionized gas were even mistaken for UFOs.
Russian politicians and military officials believe that physics research is just a cover for a military program. In their opinion, HAARP is a meteorological weapon under development.
In 2002, deputies of the Russian State Duma prepared appeals to President Vladimir Putin, as well as to the United Nations, demanding the creation of a common international commission to investigate the experiments conducted in Alaska. Then the scandalous appeal was signed by 90 people's representatives.
“Officially, HAARP is presented only as a research laboratory used to improve radio communications,” former chairman of the defense committee Andrei Nikolaev said at the time. – But the program has a military component. The United States is already close to creating geophysical weapons. The near-Earth space, ionosphere, and magnetosphere may be actively influenced by NAARP, provoking man-made disasters.” The operation of the complex was explained by the increased frequency of floods, droughts, destructive cyclones and hurricanes.
In turn, in early September there were American figures who accused the Russian Sura of provoking hurricanes like Katrina. We also remembered the scandalous “drunk interview” of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, in which he threatened to “drown America in 24 hours” with the help of special technologies. After all, New Orleans actually drowned

Here the myth cannot be distinguished from the truth

The capabilities of meteorological weapons are a closely guarded secret. Perhaps those who consider it an irresistible superweapon are right, or perhaps its capabilities are significantly exaggerated.
Nevertheless, the prospects here are colossal. If the development of weather weapons is successful, military science revolution awaits. Now it is not tanks and planes, but field generators, missiles with chemicals and high-frequency lasers that will ensure victory in new types of wars. And instead of bombs and missiles, squalls, hurricanes and torrential rains will fall on the enemy.
Such a war does not even need to be declared. Launched a weather weapon and watch on the news how the enemy’s economy was dying. Even the highly developed economy of the United States will not withstand a long climate war: destruction, floods, and plant shutdowns will lead to a new “great depression.” And people who have lost their homes will never vote for the current president

Andrey Tyutyunikov

Modern technologies make it possible to control the weather. But for some reason humanity uses these opportunities exclusively for military purposes. And Russia, due to its love of peace, generally found itself on the margins of the process.

Many are confident that the abnormal heat in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet and unprecedented cold with snowfall in the Southern Hemisphere are nothing more than a real climate war. Or, in any case, Nature’s reaction to poorly calculated experiments on influencing atmospheric processes in order to cause rains, droughts and even earthquakes. Naturally, the Pentagon is called the main culprit of all climatic and tectonic troubles. There is probably some truth in this.

Climate wars until your nose burns.

People have been trying to influence the climate, one might say, since prehistoric times. Oral traditions of all peoples of the world and even the Bible contain stories about how storms, earthquakes, droughts and other cataclysms were caused.

In the second half of the 20th century, influencing the weather was approached pragmatically, using technologies that are widely known today. It turned out that powerful clouds can be artificially cooled to condense rain moisture or simply spray cement dust into them, which absorbs moisture and provokes rain. Research in this direction has been carried out all over the world. The USA and the USSR succeeded. We learned how to disperse the clouds around Moscow when some grand celebrations and ceremonial events were held there. In the southern regions, the clouds were hit with special shells from anti-aircraft guns, thus preventing city formation and saving the vineyards.

But the Americans have learned to influence the atmosphere as much as possible. During the Vietnam War, the Pentagon could “turn on” the rain, which poured for months, eroding all partisan paths. The problem was that it was not only local residents and fighters against American aggressors, but also the entire US expeditionary force in Southeast Asia.

In the 1990s in Russia known reasons all research on atmospheric effects for military purposes ceased. Today, and for peaceful purposes, we have very limited opportunities prevent hail, create artificial rain or disperse clouds. But in the USA, they approached the influence on the formation of atmospheric processes at a qualitatively new scientific and technological level. American scientists have found that directed electromagnetic radiation into the ionospheric regions of high latitudes can respond to changes in weather in the regions of the planet farthest from the North Pole. And the Pentagon has allocated considerable funds for the “high-frequency active auroral research program.” In English transcription this program is called HAARP. It quickly became clear that controlling the ionosphere makes it possible not only to influence weather processes, but also to ensure even missile defense USA. All research was kept as secret as possible, which immediately gave rise to a lot of terrible rumors.

The HAARP topic is very popular in the Internet community in the USA, Canada and the Nordic countries. Bloggers and even respected scientists consider the program to be very dangerous and call it nothing less than “satanic” or a “doomsday” weapon. However, there are sites, many are sure that they are funded by the Pentagon, on which HAARP is shown in all its scientific glory and, of course, as an instrument for exclusively humane research into the upper layers of the ionosphere. However, no one today denies that research directly related to the impact on the ionosphere has an impact on the Earth's weather.

Direct and very convincing confirmation of this is the work of our compatriot and even contemporary - Alexei Filippovich Smirnov. He is not some kind of closed figure; there has been controversy about his work on the Internet for a long time. Opinions are polar. Some consider Smirnov a swindler, others - a genius. So who is he who took it upon himself to claim that a simple person can command atmospheric processes? And is this possible not in science fiction novels, but in real life?

Alexey Filippovich is not crowned with academic titles, does not shine with polished scientific language. He is just a mechanical engineer by training and an inventor by vocation. They usually say about such people: not of this world. In the early 1960s, Smirnov decided, in his free time from his main engineering work, to invent a gravity plane. It was a time of great and bright hopes, when communism was officially beginning to be built, and it seemed to many that there were no impossible tasks. Naturally, he did not build any gravity plane, but he noticed an interesting pattern. Almost immediately after turning on the “gravitational” electromagnetic engine he invented, the weather began to change. The observation statistics left no doubt - these were not random coincidences, but a pattern.

Alexey Filippovich seriously took up experiments directly related to the control of atmospheric processes. Or, as he himself defined it - the creation of a Weather Modification System (WMS). It seems incredible, but Smirnov really managed, by turning on his “gravity-flight” emitters in Moscow, to cause rain in the driest regions of Africa, to destroy the most powerful tornadoes in the bud in the United States, or to extinguish hurricanes that raged in the Far East. Moreover, he began to do this much earlier than the US launched its “apocalyptic” HAARP program.

Having collected the results together, the inventor, anticipating triumph and high government awards, went to the State Committee for Inventions and Discoveries in March 1985. There they listened to him carefully and gave him the address where he should immediately go with these amazing discoveries. This was the address of the leading psychiatric hospital in the USSR.

The reasoning of those who sent the inventor to specialists in white coats was purely scientific. Does Comrade Smirnov understand what energies are raging in the atmosphere? They are comparable to the energy of all earthly power plants and are equivalent to the explosion of thousands of nuclear warheads at the same time. And here some innovator is trying to prove that with the help of a generator whose power is equal to the energy of an electric kettle, he can turn back storm fronts and calm typhoons. Crazy, there are no other words. And all his statistical observations and experiments that took place are nothing more than random coincidences. What saved Smirnov from the madhouse was that glasnost and perestroika were approaching.

But even during the time of Gorbachev, when from all the stands people were called to intensify creative processes, accelerate and develop innovative technologies(just like now), none of the government officials took the inventor and his ideas seriously. The arguments were the same. The inventor was told that it was stupid to try to change the direction of movement, much less stop a train weighing thousands of tons with a blow of a fist, which was rushing at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour. But it was not necessary to compare the technology of weather control with a train, but with the trigger mechanism of an artillery gun. Minimum effort is required to pierce the primer, but the energies of the shot and subsequent explosion are enormous.

Alexey Filippovich did not become despondent. Moreover, he found many like-minded people, including among serious scientists. The Laboratory of Applied Astrogeophysics was created and the Urania 2M generating unit was built, the weather modification technology was developed down to the details. It is worth repeating that all this was done ten years earlier than the Americans.

The point is simple at first glance. A certain point is calculated in the ionosphere - the same “trigger mechanism” that is targeted by the minimum flow of electromagnetic radiation of a certain frequency generated by Urania 2M. And very soon atmospheric processes with enormous energy come into play, which humans seem to be unable to control. But it turns out - it can! The main thing here is to accurately calculate the “trigger” point of the initial impact.

You can believe in it, or you can not, but the result is always the same - it rains in a certain area or vice versa - a destructive storm subsides. However, the physics of this process is not completely clear to Smirnov himself and his colleagues. Academic science, which may be able to understand these processes, disdainfully turns away from the developers of the weather modification system as pseudoscientists and notorious charlatans.

It turns out interesting. The vast majority of people have no idea what electric current is, but they calmly use all electrical devices, and do not think that they are based on some kind of quackery or pseudoscientific magic. But our official science, including meteorology, seeing that artificially provoked disturbances in the ionosphere cause either rain or drought, do not believe their own eyes and consider obvious facts almost a hallucination.

Meanwhile, according to Smirnov, regular use of SMP provides an increase atmospheric precipitation to the climatic norm even in the driest region by at least 30%, including in conditions of drought and high atmospheric pressure. No less! It happens much more. And in the current heat, it wouldn’t hurt to have some rain, even if it was a third of the climate norm.

Over the past 20 years, through the efforts of the laboratory of applied astrogeophysics, founded by Smirnov, more than 50 successful experimental and practical works on artificially inducing precipitation by remote electromagnetic method have been carried out in various countries: the USSR, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Morocco, Spain, North America. Of course, most of the work was done in different regions USSR, and then in Russia, including Moscow and the Moscow region.

What is the result? On the one hand, it is excellent in execution. But on the other hand, it is always predictably anecdotal.

On the early morning of July 29, 1991, an alarm was declared in Primorye due to the danger of a super typhoon. The situation was aggravated by the fact that a powerful cyclone was moving from Manchuria. According to the forecasts of Soviet and Japanese forecasters, the typhoon was supposed to combine with a cyclone and hit Primorye with hurricane force. Smirnov and his comrades decided to try to weaken the elements. Before turning on the installation, they called the Marine Department of the USSR Hydrometeorological Center and reported: the merger of the typhoon with the cyclone would not take place, the energy of the typhoon would decrease, and it itself would go into the Sea of ​​Japan, where it would stop its rampage. This is exactly how events developed.

Relatively recently, the weather modification system worked in the Volga region four times. It is noteworthy that the fourth test, under an agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture of the Saratov Region, was planned and prepared in advance in 2005, and turned out to be the most successful. Against the backdrop of a general drought that occurred five years ago in the Volga region, the harvest in the Saratov region was saved. In general, as it turned out, to achieve the maximum effect, you need to prepare to control atmospheric processes long before thunder strikes or drought hits everything around you.

It would seem that there is confirmed evidence that Urania 2M is operational and weather modification is really possible. Take it and use it everywhere, and study at the same time! Not so.

In 1991, the government of the RSFSR even became excited when it learned that the disaster in Primorye had been pacified, one might say, man-made. As Smirnov recalls, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR Ivan Silaev ordered a special meeting on this matter. And when the venerable experts on atmospheric processes heard that a hurricane in the Far East was “killed” by turning on some low-power emitter in Moscow, they became furious, believing that some, naturally, crazy person was simply mocking them, the venerable ones . Atmospheric processes in Primorye, which did not go as meteorologists predicted, were attributed to a weather anomaly.

In the Saratov region, relief from drought was again explained purely natural phenomena, and not some kind of directed electromagnetic radiation of insignificant power. The rains, they say, passed on their own, that’s how the weather map worked out. Smirnov and his laboratory have absolutely nothing to do with this.

And although the work on weather modification in the right direction was carried out in full accordance with official contracts and all stated obligations regarding rain were fulfilled, the “weather modifiers” were paid mere pennies, and were not invited to work anymore. In general, this almost always happens. The rain is officially ordered, but when it passes, doubts arise: was it not a natural process, and what, exactly, should we pay money for?

Meanwhile, research and practical work on weather modification are not cheap at all. It is problematic for researchers to actually conduct them at their own expense. That is why Smirnov and his like-minded people have been writing letters to high authorities for many years and fighting for the creation of the Russian Institute of World Weather. So that everything is official, according to the state, under public control and not free. But there was still no money for reasonable weather control. But most importantly, as they say, there is no state will. There is both the will and the money for nanotechnology and fantastic innovative projects of the distant future. And there are no financial, administrative, or top managerial resources in the country to ensure that the mushroom rain falls at the right time or dries up in due time.

The difference between Smirnov’s technique and HAARP technology is fundamental. The Americans are striking at the auroral layers of the ionosphere, one might say, with a sledgehammer. The result, if this is truly the result of violence against Nature, is visible to everyone: heat in the North and snow in the South. But Alexey Filippovich does not hit as hard as he can on the pain points of the earthly Noosphere, but is engaged in healing it. His technique can be compared to ancient Chinese acupuncture. And the Earth responds to him not with heat and terrible hurricanes, but with the restoration of the planet’s familiar ecology. When the rains come at their right time, and when the storms subside without destructive consequences. Russia has a chance to save the planet from climate apocalypse. What's stopping you from using it? Moreover, Smirnov is not the only researcher of atmospheric processes who has obtained practical results. There are several other groups of natural scientists working successfully in this direction. Just a few!

However, in fairness, it must be said that there are dozens of real scammers who also claim that they can cause rain and storms if they are paid well. Everyone who watches TV has seen how some “scientists” tried to turn on the “Chizhevsky chandelier” in the pouring rain in the spring to clear the sky. And they tried to knock down icicles with such “chandeliers” in winter. Did not work.

How to distinguish truth from lies? How to find out who is truly scientifically and technologically capable of controlling the weather in the direction we all need, and who is just extorting money? The answer is simple and has long been known in the scientific world. Practice is the criterion for the truth of any theory. Ivanov managed to overcome the drought, at least partially. We work with him, allocating the necessary funds, studying his methodology in more detail. Petrov didn’t succeed... Sorry, Mr. Scientist, work on your “chandeliers” at your own expense until they really can turn the precipitation on and off the way you claim.

Russia is on the verge of a climate catastrophe. Even if this is not an actual, albeit not declared, climate war, but just a purely natural disaster, it is necessary to respond adequately and actively. Is there a way to mitigate the heat? We must take advantage of this opportunity, no matter how exotic and pseudoscientific it may seem.

This book was written by dozens of authors who, in the media and online publications, strive to show that qualitatively new types of weapons have been created and really threaten humanity. Someone, not without humor, called some of them “non-lethal.” Sergei Ionin proposes a new term - “parallel weapons”, that is, weapons that are not considered on international conferences and summits, is not recorded in documents on the limitation of various weapons, but these are weapons that, perhaps, will be more terrible than those already existing.

The publication is of interest to the widest range of readers: the question posed by the author is acute: with what and how will they kill us in the 21st century? - will not leave anyone indifferent.

METEOROLOGICAL WEAPONS

Zbigniew knows everything

Back in the 70s of the last century, the former head of the American Security Council, Zbigniew Brzezinski, predicted in his book “At the Turn of Two Centuries”: “Technology will give the leaders of great powers methods of waging secret wars, which will not require special forces... technologies for influencing the weather will be able to cause long-term drought or hurricanes…” Brzezinski knew what he was talking about, because entire civilizations died out during climate disasters.

Crop failures and climatic anomalies during the “Godunov hard times” cost the lives of 3/4 of the population of the Muscovite kingdom. The Grand Duchy of Moscow, which reached unprecedented prosperity under Ivan the Terrible, became depopulated, was invaded and almost disappeared from the map along with the Russian nation itself. The climate “cold” that weakens states has always been followed by complications - wars and, as a consequence, epidemics...

“It has been proven that by changing the electric charge of the air, it is possible to cause the desired weather in a given area” - this quote is from a newspaper article promoting the achievements of scientists from the Obninsk Institute of Applied Geophysics in the struggle for the harvest. But if scientists can provide good weather for peasants in a “given territory”: sun during the day, light rain at night, then with the same success they can turn drought or heavy rains, large hail or a strong hurricane on an unfriendly country, which leads to economic disorganization state and its inability to wage war. There are very real reasons for this - theoretical and experimental studies in the field of dynamics of interaction of aerosol particles. Aerosol particles located in a gaseous environment, under the influence of various types of vibrations (acoustic, etc.), take part in different types of movement. It is by regulating the movement of aerosol particles in a gaseous medium (atmosphere) that the atmospheric electric charge can be changed, causing the necessary weather.

Currently, means of controlling weather and climate are no longer something fantastic; they have been developed for quite a long time based on the achievements of physics and atmospheric chemistry, as well as other sciences about the Earth’s shells. And it is no coincidence that meteorological weapons appeared, based on the use of means that cause natural disasters, such as the destruction of the ozone layer of the atmosphere, provoking frosts or droughts, heavy rains by various means, in a word, influencing for military purposes the processes occurring in solid, liquid and gaseous shells of the Earth. It has three components: meteorological itself, ozone and climate.

Of particular interest are states of unstable equilibrium, when a relatively small shock in an atmospheric layer with a height of 10 to 60 km can cause the enemy to be exposed to powerful destructive forces of nature (the so-called trigger effect) and the catastrophic consequences of this impact.

World-renowned scientist Dr. Rosalie Burtell confirms that “American military experts have long considered weather systems as a possible weapon. Techniques include creating storms and hurricanes, and manipulating atmospheric moisture flows to cause floods or droughts.”

According to Marc Filterman, a former French officer, already at the turn of the 1980s, the United States and the Soviet Union had weapons that could create severe weather anomalies. The impact on atmospheric processes was carried out by radio waves in the decimeter range.

A report on potential military applications of weather control techniques, commissioned by the US Air Force, states: “...weather manipulation techniques provide extensive opportunities to defeat and coerce the enemy. Therefore, for the United States, weather influencing technologies will most likely become integral part national security policy, including both domestic and international aspects. And the government, based on our interests, should pursue such a policy at all levels.”

Random outcome of the experiment

The birth year of meteorological weapons can be considered 1958, in August of which the Americans carried out the first nuclear explosion near the lower boundary of the ionosphere.

This top-secret experiment was carried out in a remote point of the Pacific Ocean - on Johnston Atoll. According to the original plan, electromagnetic pulse The explosion was supposed to burn all electronics within a radius of several hundred kilometers - quite a worthy start to breaking through the B-52 armada with hydrogen bombs through Soviet air defense.

But something unusual happened - a cosmic nuclear explosion caused a stable ionospheric disturbance, which disrupted radio communications for a long time at a distance of many thousands of kilometers. And in the Southern Hemisphere, on the Samoa archipelago, 3.5 thousand kilometers from the explosion site, a bright aurora flashed in the tropical sky.

Samoa and Johnston are so-called magnetically conjugate regions, connected by a single geomagnetic field line. Charged particles generated by the nuclear explosion rushed along the magnetic line to the opposite hemisphere and burned a hole in the ionosphere.

The next nuclear tests - Argus (three explosions at different altitudes in the South Atlantic) and Starfish - involved extensive satellite and meteorological measurements. It turned out that nuclear explosions not only create ionospheric anomalies that disrupt radio communications and last for years, but also actively affect the climate. In 1963, at the height of the Cold War, the United States and England signed the Moscow Treaty banning nuclear tests in three environments. The root cause was a sharp increase in radioactive contamination of the atmosphere as a result of tests of record-breaking hydrogen bombs.

The famous “Report of the UN Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation” (1962) officially stated that the levels of radioactive cesium-137, strontium-90 and iodine-131 in soil and food products increased several times compared to natural levels.

However, perhaps more important than radiation, the reason that forced the participants in the nuclear race to sit down at the negotiating table was the climatic consequences of record-breaking thermonuclear tests, which were hidden from non-nuclear powers, since the lion’s share of information was controlled by the “nuclear club.” But it did not go unnoticed that in five years - from July 1958 to January 1963 - average temperature over the Northern Hemisphere fell by about 0.6 °C.

The direct result of the “small thermonuclear winter” was a noticeable increase in snow and ice cover, the area of ​​which in the Northern Hemisphere from 1950 to 1973 increased from 33 to 39 million sq. km. The effect of nuclear weapons on temperature became known only in the 1980s.

But the global consequences of nuclear strikes on the ionosphere, the “weather kitchen” and the electromagnetic shield from cosmic rays, remain a “zone of silence” to this day.

In the late 1950s, superimposing thermonuclear tests on an active solar year (1957 was the International Meteorological Year - the "year of the active solar") caused unique magnetic anomalies. During the famous magnetic storm of February 11, 1957 in Sweden, not only wired communication lines failed, but also power wiring, railway signaling was interrupted, fuses and even transformers burned. One can only guess how many heart patients and hypertensive patients this cost their lives! The northern lights were no less unique in intensity.

And again the tsunami

The ban on nuclear tests in space served as an impetus for a new direction of research - radio frequency effects on the ionosphere, since by that time all the technical and scientific prerequisites had matured.

Even earlier, it was noticed that with high transmitter power, radio waves are not simply reflected from the upper, ionized layers of the atmosphere, but themselves create ionospheric anomalies that affect radio communications at other frequencies.

Clots of ionospheric plasma heated by radio rays were first used as reflectors for long-distance radio communications, but it turned out that this significantly changed the circulation of the upper, rarefied layers of the atmosphere, which were extremely sensitive to any influences, for example, to changes in the “solar wind”; they, in turn, influence processes in the lower atmosphere and geomagnetic phenomena (magnetic storms).

Even after the end of World War II, research began to be intensively conducted in the United States to study the processes occurring in the atmosphere under the influence of external influences: “Skyfire” (the possibility of lightning formation), “Prime Argus” (methods of causing earthquakes), “Stormfury” (controlling hurricanes) . The results of this work have not been widely reported. It is known, however, that in 1961, American scientists conducted an experiment to throw more than 350 thousand two-centimeter copper needles into the atmosphere, which changed the thermal balance of the ionosphere. It is believed that it was as a result of this that an 8.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in Alaska, and part of the coast of Chile slid into the ocean. A sharp change in thermal processes occurring in the atmosphere can also cause the formation of powerful tsunamis.

The danger posed by tsunamis hitting coastal areas is illustrated by the tragedy in the states of New Orleans and Louisiana, which were affected by the Katrina tsunami in September 2005. The Americans tried to stop Katrina, but it didn’t work.

It should be noted that satellite images showed that the hurricane changed direction several times and either weakened or regained its previous strength. Theoretically, it can be assumed that by “seeding” from an airplane with various substances the “eye” of a typhoon, its rear or front part, it is possible, by creating a difference in pressure and temperature, to make it walk “in a circle”, or simply stand still. But this is only theoretical. Although the United States began trying to extinguish hurricanes back in the mid-60s of the last century, more on that below.

A decrease in agricultural production in the territory of a potential enemy, a deterioration in food supplies, and disruption of the implementation of socio-economic programs is another goal of meteorological (climate) weapons. In a country where certain climatic conditions, political and economic changes can be achieved without the use of traditional weapons.

Stealing the Rain

Experts believe that a decrease of just 1 degree in the average annual temperature in the mid-latitude region, where the bulk of grain is produced, can have catastrophic consequences. The use of climate weapons could cause the extinction of entire countries. However, given the common meteorological space, the possible damage to neighboring countries, including the country that will use such weapons, their use can only be targeted, in certain regions of the world.

For several years, farmers in one of the Spanish provinces were convinced that a small plane that regularly appeared in the sky was stealing the clouds. As soon as the clouds gathered in the sky, this same airplane appeared, spun and spun in the clouds for a while and disappeared. The clouds also disappeared. The peasants believed that their province was being artificially turned into a desert. They demanded that the authorities stop flights in this region. However, authorities could not find the rain thieves. Military radar installations were used, but also without much success. Someone immediately put forward the theory that troubles for Spain began immediately after the country joined the EEC in 1985. After all, “ghost planes”, or “rain pirates”, began to appear a few months after farmers were announced a reduction in grain sales quotas.

The authorities stubbornly refused to believe in the existence of cloud-destroying substances, and careful checks of local airports and military bases did not find any unusual aircraft. But one day, a local journalist managed to photograph a small plane and a strange foggy trail from it, which may have contained a reagent that destroyed the cloud. Real weapons. The possibility of using natural processes occurring on the planet in armed conflict has long been considered by strategists in various countries.

Methods of influencing clouds using silver iodide and carbon dioxide were proposed in the United States back in the early 1950s as part of the concept of meteorological warfare. In 1965, Dr. Richard Blasband conducted 38 rain-making sessions, of which 18 were successful. A CIA report published in 1977 stated that some states were already capable of controlling the weather for military purposes. The Americans were referring to their attempts to influence the climate in North Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in order to try to make the movement of the Viet Cong as difficult as possible. So the most studied effect of weather weapons is to provoke rainstorms in certain areas. For this purpose, in particular, the dispersion of silver iodide or lead iodide in rain clouds was (and is) used. The purpose of such actions may be to impede the movement of troops, and especially heavy equipment and weapons, create floods and flood large areas.

Meteorological aids can also be used to disperse clouds in the area of ​​the intended bombing to facilitate targeting, especially against point targets. A cloud measuring several thousand cubic kilometers, carrying energy reserves of about 1 million kW · h, can be in such an unstable state that about 1 kg of silver iodide is enough to dramatically change its state. Several aircraft, using hundreds of kilograms of this substance, are capable of dispersing clouds over an area of ​​​​several thousand square kilometers, causing precipitation. In the USSR, developments were also carried out in this area, albeit for peaceful purposes: to ensure weather conditions in areas where agricultural work was carried out and various events were held.

On August 21, 1969, people on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, which belongs to both Haiti and the Dominican Republic, saw a huge white cloud begin to expand to fantastic sizes and form concentric rings before finally dissipating.

It turned out that the Americans were implementing the “Stormfury” (“Furious Storm”) project in practice, the purpose of which was to “extinguish the hurricane” with silver iodide, lead iodide and dry ice. This chemical composition made the element amorphous and directed it towards Panama, Nicaragua and Honduras. This discovery showed that it is possible to control hurricanes or even interfere with the creation of global sea currents such as El Niño.

US Air Force analysts recently made a report: “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Mastering the Weather by 2025.” Answering the question why the military needs this, the authors develop the following picture: “Imagine that in 2025 the United States is fighting a wealthy South American drug cartel that has patrons among the leadership of several local countries. The United States does not plan or does not have the opportunity to start a full-scale war in this region.

The only way out is to destroy coca plantations and warehouses with finished products from the air. But through their political patrons, drug traffickers purchased decommissioned fighter jets from China and Russia, and missile tracking and interception systems from France. Of course, our planes (the authors mean American technology) are more perfect.

But for every US Air Force aircraft, there are 10 decommissioned, and therefore cheaper, Russian and Chinese aircraft. And it is not through skill, but through numbers that drug traffickers manage to protect their territory. What to do?" The authors proposed their own solution. According to long-term meteorological observations, in the equatorial South America Throughout the year, there is a high probability of heavy thunderstorms around noon, and, according to the CIA, drug cartel pilots try to avoid taking to the air at this time of day.

On the day of a planned operation, a US Air Force high-altitude stealth aircraft processes clouds over a given target to produce rain and thunderstorms.

Enemy aircraft remain in the area, and American all-weather combat vehicles carry out retaliation. Just some kind of blockbuster.

More seriously, the document states that by 2025, weather modification tools should be created to regulate weather conditions in limited regions. Summoning storms, increasing cloud cover, thickening or dispersing fog with the help of directed energy and a variety of beam weapons - all this should improve the disposition of one's own troops and worsen the position of the enemy. “In 2025, US aerospace forces will be able to control the weather, turning the development of new technologies into valuable capital. Our capabilities will allow the military to shape the battlefield... In the United States, weather modification will likely soon become part of national security policy, with applications at home and abroad. At the same time, our government will proceed from its interests at different levels: unilateral actions; coalition; participation in security structures such as NATO or membership in international organizations such as the UN. Given that our national security strategy will include weather modification in 2025, we will continually improve in this area.” Analysts know what they are talking about.

When there's too much rain

During the Vietnam War, Americans caused torrential rains to destroy enemy communications, “bring out” the Viet Cong from underground shelters, etc.

Why else is artificial flooding interesting to the military and what disasters can it bring to people? Currently, Europe is increasingly being flooded, global warming brought no less global problems. But historically, drainage systems have existed in Europe, but let’s take Australia. The central part of the country is a real desert, hot and lifeless. The more terrible are the floods and their consequences for these areas. It's like the cold in the Sahara...

In January 1974, a monsoon coming from the Timor Sea spread to the entire northern part of the continent, causing a real flood in the north-west of the country and in the Gulf of Carpentaria. In Western Australia in mid-January, 48 cm of rain fell within 17 hours, the cities of Broome and Darwin were partially flooded and evacuated. The flood covered the entire territory, from horizon to horizon, in the rear of these cities, where in normal times the hot sun shone over the dusty, dry river beds.

By January 20, water had risen above telegraph poles in North West Queensland. People in villages cut off from the rest of the world by rising waters waited in desperation for help. It was the largest flood the area had experienced in the present century and Australia's greatest national disaster. In western Queensland, six major cities were cut off. On January 31, heavy rainfall dropped 14.3 cm in far west Queensland. To preserve coal reserves, copper mining at half of Mount Isa's famous mines was stopped. The rivers through which water flowed to the Gulf of Carpentaria overflowed and connected with each other; water covered areas near the bay over a width of 150 km. Meanwhile, further south in New South Wales, the rain continued week after week, flooding large areas of the north-west, and flooded pastures littered with the bodies of hundreds of thousands of sheep. For residents of Alice Springs and other isolated communities in Central Australia and Queensland, food was dropped from airplanes.

At the end of January, the disaster continued to grow as the cyclones moved further along the Queensland coast. The Brisbane River, flowing through the city of Brisbane (with a population of 800 thousand people), the capital of the state of Queensland, overflowed its banks. By January 30, the usually quiet river was more than 3 km wide and had spread even wider in the university district of São Lucia, inundating industrial suburbs. Above Santa Lucia, towards the town of Ipswich, water flooded the floodplain for many kilometers. All sorts of debris and debris from homes, farms and industries rushed across the surface of the stream into the ocean.

The damage caused by flooding in Brisbane and Ipswich was enormous. In Ipswich, 1,200 houses were destroyed; The flood paralyzed the center of Brisbane, leaving 20 thousand people homeless there. At least 15 people died.

For all its severity, the 1974 flood is inferior to the rampant nature that led to the flood in 1893, when within three weeks 10 thousand (out of 90 thousand) Brisbane residents lost their homes, and it took many years to eliminate the consequences of the disaster. The devastating nature of the 1893 flood was due to prolonged heavy rainfall; as many as five cyclones passed along the coast of Queensland, the deluge affected areas around Brisbane and in the south-east of the state. The heaviest rains began on February 1, 1893, and by February 4, the water height in the city of Brisbane was 2.5 meters.

The seething flow of the flood of 1893 carried from Ipswich numerous remains of destroyed houses, fragments of all kinds of utensils, and animal corpses. On February 5, water washed away the Indooroopilly steel railway bridge, in front of which a mass of various debris had accumulated; ships and dredgers were torn from their anchors and dragged downstream. On February 6, the Victoria Bridge collapsed, its northern end plunging into the river. By February 11th the rain began to fall from new strength. On February 17, a real water hurricane hit forests, houses and ships, causing severe destruction. A third wave of flooding swept through the Brisbane River valley and drove people from their homes, submerging them. By February 21, the flood had receded, taking with it 35 human lives.

Geological evidence and Aboriginal legends indicate that before European colonization of the Brisbane area there were even greater floods than those of 1893 and 1974. Today, the danger of such phenomena has intensified, since forests and meadows, which once could absorb water during heavy rainfalls, are now destroyed, rain no longer hits the ground, but hits road surfaces and roofs of houses, and water flows into streams at increased speed, ponds and ravines. Many stream valleys have been filled in, thereby increasing the load on others.

Natural disasters caused by the use of meteorological weapons will lead not only to human casualties, but also to the destruction of cultural and artistic treasures. You can see this in a clear example of the flooding of Florence. Italy is one of the world's treasure troves of art. "Firenze Bella" - beautiful Florence - is located on the Arno River in a place where the river, having left the Apennines, but not yet reaching the rich floodplain areas in front of Pisa, remains rather narrow. The river has flooded Florence many times, with the floods of 1333, 1557, 1844 and 1966 being particularly devastating.

On November 4, 1966, the stormy waters of the river flooded the great city of the Renaissance. The entire city was asleep - the residents were not warned and did not suspect the trouble, and the rapid flow had already risen above the marks that showed the highest water level during previous floods. At 7:26 a.m., electric clocks stopped throughout the city; violent waves washed away the San Niccolò bridge, and the narrow streets began to turn into thundering waterfalls, dragging boulders and cars.

In two days, November 3 and 4, about 1/3 of the average annual precipitation fell in the Arno River basin. At the same time, 750 villages and 5,000 km of roads were flooded in Northern Italy. In the area from the Po Valley to Tuscany, about 100 people and 50 thousand heads of livestock drowned. On the third of November, water was released from the large flood control reservoirs of Penna and Levane on the Arno River, and huge masses of water rushed down the valley.

The maximum flood level in the city was 6 m. The water brought a lot of debris and dirt, which severely damaged many churches and houses of architectural value. Historical documents of the State Archives (Archivo di Stato) and the Central National Library were damaged: they were saturated with oil floating on the surface of the water from the central heating system.

In Florence, in the State Library, Italy's largest book collection with more than 3 million volumes, more than 1.5 million books, many of them dating back to the Renaissance, were damaged. As the water levels dropped, volunteers, wearing gas masks (to protect against the stench of sewage and rotting leather book bindings), began to remove thousands of these priceless books from basements filled with black mud.

Among the lost masterpieces, the most famous are the Etruscan collections of the Archaeological Museum and the “Crucifixion” by the 13th century Florentine painter Cimabue from the collection of the Church of Santa Croce.

Anomalous zone

In northern Alaska, 320 km from Anchorage, at the foot of the mountains, there is a forest of 24-meter antennas, involuntarily attracting the attention of meteorologists and ecologists. The official name of the project is the High Freguency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP). Cosmonauts claim: this zone is clearly visible from space; when there is still snow around, the grass is already green there. But the Eskimos know that birds never sing in this grass.

At night, strange luminous objects appear and disappear over the enchanted place, either hanging motionless, or, violating the laws of physics, flying silently, instantly changing speed and direction... And the aurora lights up in the sky above the test site.

The anomalous zone is surrounded by barbed wire, but this precaution is unnecessary: ​​all the locals know that not only electronic devices burn there...

However, HAARP (in Russian: “High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program”), a joint project of the US Navy and Air Force, was not created to combat migratory birds, vagabonds and ufologists.

This is a little-known part of the famous Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).

The technology of focusing ultra-powerful radio beams makes it possible to heat up areas of the ionosphere (the upper layer of the atmosphere consisting of ionized gases), concentrating the radiation. Some of the radio waves reflected from the heated plasma return back to the earth, irradiating everything living and dead.

In February 1998, the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Security sent a formal request to Washington demanding an independent international examination of HAARP. But Washington responded with silence.

The Americans pass off HAARP as a regular program for studying the northern lights. However, official Pentagon documents state that the main objective project - “Use of the ionosphere in the interests of the Ministry of Defense.” Another US Air Force document points to the use of “artificial ionospheric disturbances” as a means of controlling atmospheric processes and interfering with enemy radar and communications.

According to experts, HAARP is only part of an integrated weather weapon system that is potentially hazardous to the environment. Behind this lies five decades of intense and increasingly destructive experiments in controlling the upper atmosphere. HAARP is an integral part long history military space programs. Its military applications, especially when combined with other similar technologies, are alarming. And the transmission of tens and hundreds of megawatts via radio beam to a space platform capable of precisely directing this enormous flow of energy, comparable to an atomic bomb, in the form of laser or other beams to any point on the Earth is simply frightening. This kind of project can be presented to the public in the form of another “space shield” from offensive weapons within the framework of the same SDI or as a means for restoring the ozone layer.

A natural question arises: if the Americans worked so long and hard on climate weapons, then the same developments should have been carried out here too? What is their fate? Can Russia respond blow to blow, fend off an attack, or at least detect and prove the fact of meteorological aggression?

The closest technical analogue of HAARP was the Krasnoyarsk radar station, destroyed by Gorbachev and Shevardnadze at the insistence of the Americans.

Then, at the turn of the 1990s, after the annulment of the Warsaw Pact, the liquidation of the most powerful offensive group in world history - the Western Group of Forces - and the mass destruction of hundreds and thousands of “unnecessary” ships, aircraft and tanks, the death of the Krasnoyarsk radar station, which never had time to join into operation, was noticed by few.

But even today, even fragmentary information about this object inspires respect for its creators and explains why the Americans were so eager to destroy it.

On the one hand, the Krasnoyarsk station, which was part of the Missile Attack Warning System (MAWS), could operate as a radar with unique characteristics. It had such radiation power that it could simply burn targets it sensed with a radio beam, that is, act as an air defense and anti-satellite weapon system with instant target destruction.

What was the maximum power of the Krasnoyarsk radar? They said that at the right moment all the capacities of the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric station were switched to it, and this is millions of kilowatts. At a critical moment, this station could burn the entire US satellite constellation in a day, deciding the outcome of the global conflict and throwing Americans out of space.

And then the Americans pressed the most primitive buttons of the psyche of our party bosses - through the efforts of “agents of influence” (hidden recruitment based on the interests) of Shevardnadze and Gorbachev, the station was destroyed.

Was it planned to use the Krasnoyarsk radar for a targeted influence on meteorological processes? Hardly. And as a radar and anti-satellite weapon, it paid for all costs.

Dangerous games

On January 22, 2001, Special Assistant to the US President for Defense and Arms Control Robert Bell officially announced that a Russian-American ionospheric experiment took place in Alaska, during which a plasma generator was exploded. On the American side, the experiment was carried out by the Baltimore Physical Research Laboratory. J. Hopkins, from Russian - Academy of Sciences.

R. Bell did not hide the fact that the experiment was carried out in the interests of the Pentagon and concerned the detection of ballistic missile heads during their entry into the atmosphere, that is, it was part of the program to create US national missile defense - the same one that includes HAARP. But aren't there too many geophysicists with no warheads to detect?

The expansion of joint research in the field of defense has led to the fact that a number of military research in the interests of the Pentagon, and primarily ionospheric research, is carried out by Russian institutions and on Russian territory - but at the same time, according to the concluded contracts, their results are strictly classified from the Russian Ministry of Defense.

By causing climate change by irradiating the atmosphere, HAARP has the potential to generate low-frequency, high-power acoustic vibrations that can affect the human psyche; the possibility of influencing tectonic movements (earthquakes) cannot be ruled out. It is capable of destroying the ozone layer over enemy territory to allow hard ultraviolet radiation from the Sun to penetrate to the surface of the Earth, which has a detrimental effect on the cells of living organisms.

But the most important thing is that the unpredictability of the results of the use of these weapons makes them dangerous not only for the country on which they affect, but also for the whole world. Even a trial use of HAARP can cause a “trigger” effect with irreversible consequences for the entire planet: earthquakes, rotation of the earth’s magnetic axis and sudden cooling comparable to the Ice Age.

One of Tesla’s students, Bernard Eastlund, who actually prepared the scientific basis for HAARP (in 1985 he patented his work under the ominous title “Method and mechanism for changing the region of the atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere of the Earth”), wrote that the antenna structure in Alaska is in fact a ray gun capable of destroying not only all communication networks, but also missiles, planes, satellites and much more. Its use inevitably entails side effects, including climate disasters around the world and the effects of deadly solar radiation.

Another expert on the subject, Eduard Albert Meyer, points out the following: “This project has turned into global vandalism due to the fact that an immense amount of energy with a gigawatt capacity was released into the outer spheres of the Earth. The present impact and future effects on this planet and all life forms cannot be assessed in any way. The destructive power of this weapon is thousands of times greater than that of an atomic bomb.”

Many natural disasters of recent years, including the catastrophic flood in southern Europe, cataclysms in Russia and Central Europe last year, and the New Year's tsunami in the Indian Ocean, are clearly associated by domestic experts with side (or planned) effects of testing new weapons.

It is not surprising that Americans are trying to hide everything related to the HAARP program from the public as much as possible, or at least present it as harmless research.

Something else is surprising and alarming: many politicians in our country are doing everything to prevent American developments from being made public. Both resolutions (on HAARP), under pressure from certain forces lobbying the interests of the United States in the State Duma, were repeatedly withdrawn from consideration.
