Avramenko Plasmoid ABM

PROGRAM Weapons Also: Avramenko plasmoid, Russian plasma weapon, NIIR plasmoid ABM, Doveriye experiment

01 Executive_Summary

Soviet/Russian plasma weapons program. Academician Ramiliy Avramenko, chief designer of the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIR). Concept: focus beams of electromagnetic energy (laser or microwave) into upper atmosphere (up to 50 km) to create plasmoid (highly ionized air cloud). Any object (missile, airplane) entering it is deflected from trajectory and disintegrates due to abrupt pressure difference. Key: energy focused 'not on the target, but under the wing of the aircraft or ahead of the missile' — creates 'air pockets.' Power: ~10 MW microwave/laser, 1-meter spot at 50 km, phased arrays. Avramenko: 'plasma ABM weapons will cost several orders of magnitude less than SDI.' 'Doveriye' (Trust) experiment: Yeltsin proposed to Clinton at April 1993 Vancouver meeting a joint US-Russian experiment at Kwajelein Atoll. Russian Patent RU-2227892-C1: 'Space-air defense complex' — explicitly mentions plasmoid ejection from interceptor missile. INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED via FBIS translations, Russian patents, and US patents.

Overview

Entity Type: Program — Avramenko Plasmoid ABM is a government or defense program/initiative.

Network Relationships

Avramenko Plasmoid ABM connects to 4 entities in the intelligence network:

Persons (1):

← Tom Bearden (Lt. Col.): Described Soviet plasmoid weapons

Phenomenons (1):

← UAP Orb Phenomenon: Orb shape = plasmoid shape (compact toroidal plasma)

Programs (2):

← Soviet Energetics Program: Russian plasma weapons program
→ MARAUDER: Same physics: plasmoid = compact toroid — US and Russian approaches

Source Documents

Intelligence derived from 4 source documents:

FAS.org — FBIS translated text (Ogonek report 1995)
globalsecurity.org — FBIS translations
PubChem — Russian patent RU-2227892-C1
Google Patents — US7255062B1 (pseudo surface microwave plasma shielding)

CPW CAMPAIGN MERGE (2026-08-17): CPW verdict (2026-08-17): the weapon is an in-situ microwave-created-plasma concept (plasma formed AHEAD of the target), not a projectile. The 'Doveriye/Trust' program was officially terminated 1996–97 (Goskomoboronprom) on scientific-dishonesty findings; Avramenko's self-claimed patents falsified in the full Rospatent census. His only literal free self-confined plasmoids are the 1990 erosion-discharge LABORATORY objects (see avramenko-erosion-discharge-plasmoids).
