👉 An atmospheric weapon is a type of weaponized particle or agent designed to be dispersed and detonated in the atmosphere, typically for military purposes. These weapons can include chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) agents that are engineered to spread over large areas, potentially affecting entire regions or even global scales. Unlike traditional ballistic weapons, atmospheric weapons rely on wind patterns and other meteorological conditions to disperse their payloads, making them challenging to predict and counteract. Their use can cause widespread destruction, environmental damage, and long-term health risks due to the inhalation or ingestion of toxic substances.
