Aircraft weapons, antiaircraft weapons, artillery, flamethrowers, firearms, assault rifles and many more are used for war or warfare. This has been the very way of winning war and it has been effective.

Even while using this weapons, the use of microorganism is also a very effective way of fighting wars.
Using bacteria, viruses or toxins to cause death or disease to people, animals or plants intentionally; so as to weaken their defense is an impeccable way of winning a war.

The use of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, virus and protozoa) is not a new concept, there are several historical examples; such as the Japanese attacks on China during the Second World War, read more

It is not clear whether any of these attacks caused the spread of disease. In Caffa, the plague might have spread naturally because of the unhygienic conditions in the beleaguered city. Similarly, the smallpox epidemic among Indians could have been caused by contact with settlers. In addition, yellow fever is spread only by infected mosquitoes. During their conquest of South America, the Spanish might also have used smallpox as a weapon. Nevertheless, the unintentional spread of diseases among native Americans killed about 90% of the pre-columbian population McNeill, 1976. source

Microorganisms such as Bacillus anthracis causative agent of Anthrax, Clostridium botulinum causative agent of Botulism Francisella tularensis causative agent of Tularemia, Variola major causative agent of small pox, Coxiella burnetti causative agent of Q fever, Burkholderia mallei causative of Glanders and many more are used to fight wars.

Fighting in war doesn't have to be with nuclear weapons, machines and the rest, biological agents and microorganisms can be delivered as aerosols, which would cause infections or death when breathed by the targeted victims.
