Russia is considering the development of an electromagnetic type of weapon.

Thanks to the technological breakthrough of Russia in the creation of modern weapons, it became known that Russian defense enterprises are developing a fundamentally new type of weapons, we are talking, according to various sources, about electromagnetic weapons, which can completely disable any enemy electronics, including anti-aircraft and anti-missile weapons. defense, within a radius of tens of kilometers, creating the strongest interference within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Experts believe that we can talk about a powerful warhead (combat maneuvering unit - approx. Ed.), Which will detonate at a certain height, thereby creating a powerful electromagnetic pulse that can incapacitate radar, anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems, and disable facilities communications, etc.

“Striking with dozens of warheads of this type will cover an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers. The most interesting thing is that following an electromagnetic pulse, an attack by other warheads, including nuclear ones, will follow, which makes the enemy completely defenseless ”, - said the analyst Avia.pro.

It should be clarified that during the Soviet Union attempts were repeatedly made to create electromagnetic weapons, however, due to insufficiently developed technologies, it was not possible to implement projects
