Current Status of Chemical and Biological Weapons’ Development, Trends, Possibilities and Prospects

چکیده
The threats posed by chemical and biological weapons can be considered as significant even in these days. Due to the fact that infectious and toxic warfare agents are relatively simple and cheap to produce they are known as the “poor man’s nuclear bomb". They could become dangerous devices with a dreadful effect when they fall into the hands of terrorist groups and aggressive powers. After reviewing the historical development of these weapons the author makes an attempt to assess the further development of chemical and biological weapons and the risks associated with their possible deployment. A vegyi és biológiai fegyverek által jelentkező veszélyeztetettség napjainkban is jelentősnek mondható. A fertőző ágensek és a mérgező harcanyagok, viszonylag egyszerű és olcsó előállíthatóságuk okán „a szegény ember atombombája”-ként ismertek. Terrorista csoportok, agresszív hatalmak kezében veszélyes és rettenetes hatású eszközök válhatnak belőlük. A cikk szerzője ezen fegyverek történeti fejlődésének áttekintése után kísérletet tesz arra, hogy a vegyi és biológiai fegyverek jövőbeni továbbfejlődését és esetleges alkalmazásuk kockázatát felbecsülje.
