Soviet Biological Weapons Program

The Soviet Biological Weapons Program was a secret effort during the Cold War to develop and produce deadly pathogens and toxins for military use. It involved research on bacteria, viruses, and toxins to potentially incapacitate or kill enemies. Although officially denounced after the Cold War, evidence shows the Soviets conducted extensive underground testing and stockpiling. The program aimed to create a biological arsenal that could be used strategically, raising significant concerns about global biosecurity and the risks of biological warfare.
