lol you think just because there not using it to help the citizens, its proof that it cannot do it ? i think you should take a long hard look at your country and your government, and your fake wars that no doubt you support fully & go do some research for yourself.

Lightning rapidly heats the air in its immediate vicinity to about 20,000 °C (36,000 °F) — about three times the temperature of the surface of the Sun. The sudden heating effect and the expansion of heated air gives rise to a supersonic shock wave in the surrounding clear air. It is this shock wave, once it decays to an acoustic wave, that is heard as thunder.[17]

The main difference here is that the theory would be about a fairly massive object (comparably) blasting through the air at supersonic speeds in direct opposition to the path of the tornado. The physical shockwave from when an object passes the supersonic threshold is extremely noticable beyond the acoustic sonic boom.

Other than the flash of light, the thunder is usually all we really get from Lightning's supersonic movement. On top of that, the lightning is a lot more brief.
Of course I'm not saying that the theory regarding a supersonic jet would work...like those that haven't tested it, I would like more proof.

A old expendable supersonic plane can be remotely controlled to fly around as per patent round the tornadoes

Tornadoes last for hours as proved by discovery channel which shows tornado chasers chasing them.

You are worried about fuel consumption in a supersonic plane when people ae dying and losing their homes from tornadoes?.
That shows small mindedness.
The F4 was just an an example.America has 50 different supersonic aircraft types.Some are used for anti-aircraft missiles tests.Who cares which planes is used.
A F4 can be remotely controlled to fly around as per patent round the tornadoes.An F4 is expendable and cheap.
Or a F22/F35 if it makes you look cool.
Anyway I am done with you as you clearly anti american and anti progress with your absurd demands.
The only way to test it is to do it.
1. The F4 can't fly supersonic long enough without refueling and remote control drones can't refuel in flight.
2. Patents don't have to work and there is no evidence that this one will.
3. Read the article again. This is not for tornadoes; it is for hurricanes. Tornadoes are much smaller than hurricanes.
4. Your opinion of my "anti"-ness is worth about as much as your technical knowledge and reasoning ability. You have no clue what you are talking about, once again.
5.You are the one making absurd demands for tests without reason. The experimental imperative requires some rationale beyond somebody thinks it might work.
