01 Definition

A Russian plasma physicist and chief designer who developed concepts for high-altitude plasmoid weapons designed for ballistic missile defense.

02 Detailed_Analysis

Academician Ramiliy Fedorovich Avramenko was Chief Designer at the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIRP) and a key director of Soviet/Russian plasma weapon programs. Avramenko proposed projecting ground-based microwave or laser beams into the upper atmosphere (up to 50 km) to generate localized, high-density plasmoids that disrupt the aerodynamics and structural integrity of hypersonic missiles and aircraft.

03 Key_Facts

  • Chief Designer at Russia's Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIRP)
  • Pioneered theoretical and experimental work on microwave-generated atmospheric plasmoid weapons
  • Proposed the joint US-Russian 'Doverie' (Trust) plasma anti-missile defense shield at the 1993 Vancouver Summit
  • Demonstrated laboratory-scale plasma generation to degrade hypersonic boundary layers

Overview

ASSESSMENT: Academician Ramiliy Avramenko was the chief designer of the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making and the scientific director of Russian plasma weapons development. SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION OF PLASMOID WEAPON: (1) MECHANISM: 'Focusing beams of electromagnetic energy produced by laser or microwave radiation into the upper layers of the atmosphere.' (2) EFFECT: 'A cloud of highly ionized air arises at the focus of the laser or microwave rays, at an altitude of up to 50 kilometers. Upon entering it, any object—a missile, an airplane—is deflected from its trajectory and disintegrates in response to the fantastic overloads arising due to the abrupt pressure difference between the surface and interior of the flying body.' (3) KEY PRINCIPLE: 'The energy is concentrated not at the target itself but a little ahead of it. Rather than incinerating the missile or airplane, it bumps it out of trajectory.' (4) TECHNICAL PARAMETERS: 'Phased arrays create at 50 km altitude a spot of powerful (about 10 MW) microwave or laser radiation 1 meter in diameter.' 'At 50 km, air density is 10^-6/cm^3.' 'Takes 10^6 Joules to heat 10^9 cm^3 to 1000°C.' 'Power must be 10^9 or 1 GW.' (5) THE PLASMOID: 'Based on the energy of ground super-high frequency generators or laser generators creates an ionized territory in the trajectory of a warhead and in front of it, completely disrupts the aerodynamics.' (6) KILLING EFFECT: 'Delivered to the target at the speed of light.' (7) DUAL PURPOSE: 'Can be used to patch ozone holes and knock space garbage out of orbit.' (8) TESTS: 'Our scientific proving ground has already conducted tests in which a projectile flying through plasma discharges was deflected from its normal trajectory and self-destructed.' DOVERIE (TRUST) EXPERIMENT: Proposed by Yeltsin to Clinton at Vancouver summit April 1993. Joint US-Russia test at Kwajelein Atoll. Cost $300M. Russia delivers microwave generators + phased arrays. US supplies electronics/computers. INSTITUTIONS: Arzamas-16/VNIIEF, TsAGI, TsNIIMash, Radio Instrument Making Institute. KEY SCIENTISTS: Prokhorov (Nobel, lasers), Osipov (RAS President), Gaponov-Grekhov (plasma). CRITICAL: Avramenko's plasmoid = compact toroidal plasma = same physics as FRC/MARAUDER/CFR. Russia had WORKING TESTS by 1995. Avramenko noted 'movement of a UFO without air resistance' as related phenomenon.

Source Documents

Intelligence derived from 4 source documents:

CPW CAMPAIGN MERGE (2026-08-17): Mechanism recovered verbatim from FBIS mirrors (CPW-05): phased array (FAR) of hundreds of GW-class microwave generators in container modules, focusing ~10 MW into a 1-m spot at up to 50 km AHEAD of the target — NOT a projectile weapon. Two kill modes: (1) thermal density-collapse (~1000 °C → air density ÷3, ~1 GW per unit by Avramenko's own arithmetic); (2) nonequilibrium-plasma drag-collapse (claimed TsAGI/GosNIIAS wind-tunnel validation, drag −40%). Physics adjudication (rounds 130–135, adopted): the 50-km stationary focus primitive is physics-permitted, but every weapon-specific number fails — kill mechanism imparts Δv ~10⁻⁴ m/s to an RV (6 orders short), the claimed 1974 20-MW CW precursor is ~900× the world CW record of its decade, and the facility is 2.5–3 orders beyond HAARP. The 'Planeta' program was OFFICIALLY TERMINATED by Goskomoboronprom (1996–97) after an expert review found it impractical and found 'scientific dishonesty' by Avramenko personally (RAS Commission Bulletin No. 5, 2009; Chernomyrdin-to-Yeltsin letter). Avramenko's self-claimed patents are FALSIFIED by a full Rospatent census (862,750-row inventions registry + utility-model registry). The 'Belitsky orb' is a journalist's gloss on this in-situ mechanism — no free-flying orb exists in any primary source.
