It's amazing how much new tech is getting tested in the middle east. In the next 30 years I think they are the future.

- rob74 3y agoThis tech is not really new - in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, "cloud seeding" airplanes have been flying for years (to avoid hailstorms rather than to make it rain), although the efficacy of the method is disputed, so it's not really widespread. I only learned that this is done where I live when I saw a small airplane flying dangerously close to an approaching storm (which GA aircraft usually do their best to avoid) and then read an article about how they miscalculated the strength/direction of the storm and barely managed to avoid it. Wikipedia article (only available in German): https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagelabwehr#Einsatz_in_Deutschland https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagelabwehr#Einsatz_in_Deutsch... Article about the history of anti-hail airplanes in the Rosenheim region: https://www.hagelabwehr-rosenheim.de/geschichtliches.php https://www.hagelabwehr-rosenheim.de/geschichtliches.php

For example, Colorado regularly performs cloud seeding and other weather modification techniques - https://cwcb.colorado.gov/focus-areas/supply/weather-modification-program https://cwcb.colorado.gov/focus-areas/supply/weather-modific...
