Re: anti-hailstorm missiles.
When I was making a documentary film in Bulgaria 1968, we were shown the
missile-sites on the mountain side above an industrial vineyard at
Brestovitsa, nor far from Plovdiv. When metereological radar stations
registrered approaching heavy hailstorms, the missiles were fired at the
clouds in order to release their content before they reached the vast
vinefields.
So, the system is quite old and well-tested, and Bulgarian claims that the
war in Yugoslavia has forced a temporary shut-down of radar and missile
operations, thus causing widespread damage by hail to crops, appears quite
plausible
