Explanation Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end: 20 Marks In the modern war, the use of the most destructive weapons is not needed. These weapons are nuclear bombs, ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads, chemical weapons killing thousands and making millions invalid and useless for living, and other weapons of mass destruction that rich and developed countries possess. If these weapons are used repeatedly, nothing will be left for the winner or conqueror. So the effects of a modern war are still limited to the effects of the conventional or traditional weapons that are still used. However, these conventional weapons are the improved ones, much stronger and much more destructive than their older versions. For example, the big bombs of yesterday have developed into cluster bombs. The old planes are now supersonic with much greater firing, bombing and killing capacities. The rifles of olden times are now Kalashnikovs or even more modern assault rifles that are hundreds of times more destructive. So modern conventional weaponry causes numerous deaths and large-scale destruction. The aim of the powerful attacking country is to occupy the attacked country of to control its natural resources. So it does not try to destroy its communication system or network, and its buildings and production centers like factories. The attacks and war, then, become limited and controlled. However, within the conquered country, the limited war against those who oppose and use force against the conquerors, continues. 1. What are the most destructive weapons not used in a modern war? 2.
