👉 The bt weapon, or biological threat weapon, is a type of weaponized biological agent designed to cause harm through infectious diseases. These weapons are engineered to be highly contagious, often using genetically modified pathogens that can spread rapidly and cause severe illness or death. The development and deployment of bt weapons are illegal under international law, primarily due to their potential for widespread devastation and the ethical concerns surrounding their use. They represent a significant biosecurity threat, prompting international efforts to prevent their creation, proliferation, and use.
