Scientists and engineers of the Russian United instrument Corporation (OPK) has created and tested the first samples of electronic weapons based on new physical principles. Development has no analogues in the world.
“Military microwaves” showed defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and all the top leadership of the defense Ministry in September this year at a private screening during the military-technical forum “Army-2016”.
The principles of operation and design features of this weapon, of course, constitute a state secret of the utmost importance. But you can imagine how using an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons capable of altering the conduct of modern warfare.
The mystery of the phased array
“Countermeasures electromagnetic pulse virtually no, – said an authoritative military expert Viktor murakhovski. But I wouldn’t call new development of the defence industry “weapons based on new physical principles”: the electromagnetic radiation was discovered in the nineteenth century.
The most effective “tool” in the war – a nuclear explosion. If it is such a powerful electromagnetic pulse that at a distance of hundreds of kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion goes down all electronic equipment. Most likely, invented a kind of efficient emitter in a phased array that is able to generate AMY in a narrow sector. But the radius of effective action of new weapons depends on the connected capacity.”
According to Victor Murakhovski, if a unique phased array to connect a nuclear power plant, the range will be huge. Accordingly, diesel generator on a truck chassis on the battlefield able on much smaller “feats”.
And the power needed to decommissioning of the radar homing precision weapons, quite high. So, we have now and some know-how, which is securely stored for phased array?
Enough of the nanosecond pulse
Concentration in a narrow sector of AMY certain frequency overloads the receiver circuits of the electronic equipment and brings it down. Nanosecond pulse would be enough “grunted” the most advanced electronics. But the defense industry the world’s leading powers for so long was preparing for a nuclear war that the protective mechanisms of the equipment rife. Including they protect you from EMR exposure.
To the manufacturing apparatus connected with the different isolation and grounding, which are able to turn it off when you receive excessive radiation power. Many experts believe that it is safer to score the instrument adversary radiation such an extent that it ceased to separate useful information from noise.
It flies a cruise missile, quietly brings death to the designated point of the globe, and suddenly in her smart head begin to climb bad thoughts, mean impulses. Rocket goes crazy and commits suicide in a random place…
Not so terrible “Armata” as it is “Afghani”
Great weapon on the same principle has been established by our technical geniuses for armored vehicles on the platform “Armata”. The complex of active protection “Afghani”, which are equipped with tanks T-14 (and, in principle, will be equipped with a whole Armada of “Armat”), able to protect our armour “boxes” on the battlefield diameterically veil stealth-aerosol, heat traps.
But the main know-how in the “Afghanite” is a stationary generator electromagnetic pulse and EMP grenades with a shock-wave emitter. They create electromagnetic radiation disables homing precision-guided munitions of the enemy…
What really is a new electronic “gun” produced by the Russian United instrument-making Corporation, the General public is unlikely to soon find out. A potential enemy it would be better not to hurry to try its combat capabilities in their own skin. Apparently, Russia has learned to achieve a “nuclear” effect without a nuclear explosion.
