Bioweapons are

2) Harder to control
3) Less reliable
than traditional arms.
This makes them great weapons for poor countries who don't care about indiscriminate killing, but bad weapons for large countries that want precision strikes against specific enemies.
- Nasrudith 8y agoWait cheaper, how? Maybe in terms of development of say a fighter jet but it is certainly more expensive than a bunch of surplus Russian equipment. Not to mention most combatants don't do their own arms development - that only really makes sense if you are nearing state of the art or effectively lack a market (say nuclear weapons).
