Concept: focus beams of electromagnetic energy (laser or microwave) into upper atmosphere ... 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: Yel... CPW CAMPAIGN MERGE (2026-08-17): mechanism recovered verbatim — phased array of GW-class microwave generators creates plasma IN SITU AHEAD of the target (not a projectile); kill modes = thermal density-collapse and nonequilibrium drag-collapse (claimed). Physics adjudication: 50-km focus primitive permitted; all weapon-specific numbers fail (RV Δv ~10⁻⁴ m/s, 6 orders short; 1974 20-MW precursor claim ~900× the era CW record; facility 2.5–3 orders beyond HAARP). The 'Planeta/Doveriye' program was OFFICIALLY TERMINATED by Goskomoboronprom (1996–97) after expert review found 'scientific dishonesty' by Avramenko personally. Avramenko's self-claimed patents are FALSIFIED (full Rospatent census).

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

Intelligence derived from 4 source documents:

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).
