👉 An infrastructure weapon refers to a strategic tool or capability that targets essential systems and assets critical for maintaining societal functions, such as energy grids, transportation networks, water supply systems, and communication infrastructures. These attacks aim to disrupt or degrade the availability, reliability, or security of these vital services, causing significant economic, social, and political consequences. Unlike traditional military hardware, infrastructure weapons are often designed to exploit vulnerabilities in interconnected systems, potentially leading to cascading failures across multiple sectors. The goal is not necessarily to destroy infrastructure outright but to create chaos and instability, thereby weakening a nation's resilience and ability to respond effectively to crises.
