Alabuga is a weapon equivalent to an atomic bomb. Only Russia is armed with electromagnetic ammunition Alabuga combat system

Enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex have created a powerful electromagnetic missile "Alabuga", which has a warhead with a high-power electromagnetic field generator. It was reported that it was able to cover an area of 3.5 kilometers with one blow and disable all electronics, turning it into a "pile of scrap metal."

Mikheev explained that "Alabuga" is not a specific weapon: under this code, in 2011-2012, a whole range of scientific research was completed, during which the main directions for the development of electronic weapons of the future were determined.

“A very serious theoretical assessment and practical work was carried out on laboratory models and specialized training grounds, during which the range of electronic weapons and the degree of their impact on equipment were determined,” Mikheev said.

This effect can be of different intensity: "Starting from the usual interference effect with the temporary incapacitation of enemy weapons systems and military equipment up to its complete electronic destruction, leading to energetic, destructive damage to the main electronic elements, boards, blocks and systems."

After the completion of this work, all data on its results were closed, and the very topic of microwave weapons fell into the category of critical technologies with the highest secrecy stamp, Mikheev emphasized.
“Today we can only say that all these developments have been translated into the plane of specific development work on the creation of electromagnetic weapons: shells, bombs, missiles carrying a special explosive magnetic generator, in which the so-called microwave electromagnetic pulse is created due to the energy of the explosion. , which disables all enemy equipment at a certain distance," the source said.

Such developments are carried out by all the leading world powers - in particular, the United States and China, the KRET representative concluded.

Today, Russia is the only country in the world that is armed with ammunition equipped with electromagnetic generators, said Viktor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, member of the expert council of the military-industrial complex board.
So he commented on the words of Vladimir Mikheev, adviser to the first deputy general director of the Radioelectronic Technologies Concern, who said that radio-electronic munitions are being created in Russia that can disable enemy equipment due to a powerful microwave pulse.

"We have such regular ammunition - for example, there are such generators in the warheads of anti-aircraft missiles, there are also shots for hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers equipped with such generators. In this area, we are at the forefront in the world, similar ammunition, as far as I know, so far there is no supply of foreign armies. In the United States and China, such equipment is now only at the testing stage, "RIA Novosti quotes V. Murakhovsky.

The expert noted that today the Russian defense industry is working to increase the effectiveness of such ammunition, as well as to increase the electromagnetic pulse due to new materials and new design schemes. At the same time, Murakhovsky stressed that calling such weapons "electromagnetic bombs" is not entirely correct, since today the Russian army is armed only with anti-aircraft missiles and grenade launchers equipped with such generators.

Speaking about the electronic weapons of the future being developed today in Russia, the interlocutor cited the microwave gun project, which is currently at the stage of scientific research, as an example.

“At the research stage, there is a new product on a tracked chassis that generates radiation that can disable a drone at a long distance. This is exactly what is now colloquially called a “microwave gun,” Murakhovsky said.

For the first time, the world saw a real-life prototype of electromagnetic weapons at the LIMA-2001 arms exhibition in Malaysia. An export version of the domestic Ranets-E complex was presented there. It is made on the MAZ-543 chassis, has a mass of about 5 tons, provides a guaranteed defeat of ground target electronics, an aircraft or a guided munition at ranges up to 14 kilometers and disruption in its operation at a distance of up to 40 km. Despite the fact that the first-born made a splash in the world media, experts noted a number of its shortcomings. Firstly, the size of an effectively hit target does not exceed 30 meters in diameter, and secondly, the weapon is disposable - reloading takes more than 20 minutes, during which the miracle cannon has already been shot 15 times from the air, and it can only work on targets in an open terrain, without the slightest visual obstruction. It is probably for these reasons that the Americans abandoned the creation of such directional EMP weapons, concentrating on laser technologies. Our gunsmiths decided to try their luck and try to "bring to mind" the technology of directed EMP radiation.

Based on active pulsed radiation, a similarity of a nuclear explosion is obtained, only without a radioactive component. Field tests have shown the high efficiency of the unit - not only radio-electronic, but also conventional electronic equipment of wired architecture, fails within a radius of 3.5 km. Those. not only removes the main communication headsets from normal operation, blinding and stunning the enemy, but actually leaves the whole unit without any local electronic control systems, including weapons. The advantages of such a "non-lethal" defeat are obvious - the enemy will only have to surrender, and the equipment can be obtained as a trophy. The problem is only in the effective means of delivering this charge - it has a relatively large mass and the missile must be large enough, and, as a result, very vulnerable to hitting air defense / missile defense systems, ”the expert explained.

Interesting are the developments of NIIRP (now a division of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern) and the Physico-Technical Institute. Ioffe. Investigating the impact of powerful microwave radiation from the earth on air objects (targets), the specialists of these institutions unexpectedly received local plasma formations, which were obtained at the intersection of radiation flows from several sources. Upon contact with these formations, air targets underwent huge dynamic overloads and were destroyed. The coordinated work of microwave radiation sources made it possible to quickly change the focus point, that is, to retarget at great speed or to accompany objects of almost any aerodynamic characteristics. Experiments have shown that the impact is effective even on warheads of ICBMs. In fact, this is not even a microwave weapon, but combat plasmoids. Unfortunately, when in 1993 a team of authors presented a draft air defense/missile defense system based on these principles for consideration by the state, Boris Yeltsin immediately proposed a joint development to the American president. And although cooperation on the project did not take place, perhaps this was what prompted the Americans to create the HAARP (High freguencu Active Auroral Research Program) complex in Alaska - a research project to study the ionosphere and auroras. Note that for some reason that peaceful project has funding from the Pentagon's DARPA agency.

Electromagnetic weapons: what the Russian army is ahead of competitors

Pulse electromagnetic weapons, or the so-called. "jammers", is a real, already being tested, type of weapons of the Russian army. The United States and Israel are also conducting successful developments in this area, but they have relied on the use of EMP systems to generate the kinetic energy of a warhead.

In our country, we took the path of a direct damaging factor and created prototypes of several combat complexes at once - for the ground forces, air force and navy. According to the specialists working on the project, the development of the technology has already passed the stage of field tests, but now work is underway on the bugs and an attempt to increase the power, accuracy and range of radiation.

Today, our Alabuga, having exploded at an altitude of 200-300 meters, is able to turn off all electronic equipment within a radius of 3.5 km and leave a battalion / regiment-scale military unit without means of communication, control, fire guidance, while turning all available enemy equipment into pile of useless scrap metal. In fact, there are no options other than to surrender and give heavy weapons to the advancing units of the Russian army as trophies.

"Jammer" of electronics

It is probably for these reasons that the Americans abandoned the creation of such directional EMP weapons, concentrating on laser technologies. Our gunsmiths decided to try their luck and try to "bring to mind" the technology of directed EMP radiation.

A specialist of the Rostec concern, who, for obvious reasons, did not want to reveal his name, in an interview with Expert Online expressed the opinion that electromagnetic pulsed weapons are already a reality, but the whole problem lies in the methods of delivering them to the target. “We are working on a project to develop an electronic warfare complex classified as “OV” called “Alabuga”. This is a rocket, the warhead of which is a high-frequency high-power electromagnetic field generator.

Based on active pulsed radiation, a similarity of a nuclear explosion is obtained, only without a radioactive component.

Already entering service with the Russian army

To understand what place the topic of electronic warfare occupies in the military-technical strategy of the Russian military department, it is enough to look at the State Armaments Program until 2020. Of the 21 trillion. rubles of the general budget of the SAP, 3.2 trillion. (about 15%) is planned to be directed to the development and production of attack and defense systems using sources of electromagnetic radiation. For comparison, in the Pentagon's budget, according to experts, this share is much less - up to 10%.

Now let's look at what you can already "feel", i.e. those products that have reached the series and entered service over the past few years.

Krasukha-4 mobile electronic warfare systems suppress spy satellites, ground-based radars and AWACS aviation systems, completely block radar detection for 150-300 km, and can also inflict radar damage on enemy electronic warfare and communications equipment. The operation of the complex is based on the creation of powerful interference at the main frequencies of radars and other radio-emitting sources. Manufacturer: OJSC "Bryansk Electromechanical Plant" (BEMZ).

The TK-25E sea-based electronic warfare system provides effective protection for ships of various classes. The complex is designed to provide radio-electronic protection of an object from radio-controlled air and ship-based weapons by creating active interference. The interface of the complex with various systems of the protected object, such as a navigation complex, a radar station, an automated combat control system, is provided.

The TK-25E equipment provides for the creation of various types of interference with a spectrum width from 64 to 2000 MHz, as well as impulse misinformation and imitation interference using signal copies. The complex is capable of simultaneously analyzing up to 256 targets. Equipping the protected object with the TK-25E complex reduces the probability of its destruction by three or more times.

It should be noted that radio fuses are now equipped with up to 80% of Western field artillery shells, mines and unguided rockets and almost all precision-guided munitions, these fairly simple means make it possible to protect troops from destruction, including directly in the zone of contact with the enemy.

Concern "Constellation" produces a series of small-sized (portable, transportable, autonomous) jamming transmitters of the RP-377 series. With their help, you can jam GPS signals, and in a standalone version, equipped with power sources, you can also place transmitters in a certain area, limited only by the number of transmitters.

Now an export version of a more powerful GPS jamming system and weapon control channels is being prepared. It is already a system of object and area protection against high-precision weapons. It was built on a modular principle, which allows you to vary the areas and objects of protection.

From unclassified developments, MNIRTI products are also known - "Sniper-M", "I-140/64" and "Gigawatt", made on the basis of car trailers. They, in particular, are used to develop means of protecting radio engineering and digital systems for military, special and civilian purposes from EMP damage.

Electronic bomb - a fantastic weapon of Russia

This autumn, several Western publications at once, for example, the British tabloid Daily Star, "advertised" a new Russian weapon, which is described as "more powerful than an atomic bomb." We are talking about electronic weapons, in particular, the latest Alabuga electromagnetic missile, which can disable enemy electronics within a radius of 3.4 miles.

So, we are talking about the Alabuga electromagnetic rocket, which is being developed by the Radioelectronic Technologies Concern (KRET). Acting at a height of 200-300 meters above enemy positions, due to high-power radiation, it not only suppresses the operation of electronic devices - computers, radars, communication systems, homing heads of precision and guided weapons - but also renders them unusable. That is, it burns electronic components. The radiation creates a high-frequency high-power electromagnetic field generator. Neither power nor other characteristics were disclosed. The type of energy source that feeds the generator is also kept secret.

Western journalists write that such weapons are capable of incapacitating entire armies, the electronic equipment of aircraft and missile warheads, as well as the automatic loading mechanisms of tanks. Moreover, as the newspaper notes, the new Russian weapons can cause the detonation of ammunition inside enemy military equipment and even destroy manpower hiding underground at a depth of up to 100 meters.

Such fantasies, of course, cause emotion in view of the fact that the same "Alabuga" is a non-lethal weapon, since the microwave field does not cause real harm to the enemy's manpower. As for the words that the Alabuga radiation is capable of undermining shells in the gun turrets of tanks, this is a little closer to reality, since even a practically sealed tank has inputs for radio waves, for example, through antennas or optical channels. However, the signal power for heating shells to a critical temperature and, accordingly, undermining, should be prohibitive.

In general, the comparison of an electromagnetic rocket with a nuclear bomb is quite appropriate, since the explosion of a nuclear bomb also generates a powerful electromagnetic pulse (up to 100 gigawatts), which produces exactly the same effect on electronics as the Alabuga radiation.

In 1958, the effectiveness of such weapons was proved by the Americans, who detonated a thermonuclear charge with a capacity of 1.9 Mt in space. A powerful electromagnetic pulse put out of action 9 satellites, and in the Hawaiian Islands and even in a significant part of Australia, radio communications and television broadcasting disappeared for a long time, interruptions began with street lighting.

Due to the special secrecy of development, it is not known at what stage of readiness the Alabuga missile is, but Russia already has such a fully operational weapon. Moreover, it has existed for a long time, but for a number of reasons, it has not yet been adopted for service ...

A few years ago, domestic media reported on the development of promising types of weapons designed to destroy enemy electronic systems with a powerful electromagnetic pulse. For obvious reasons, full official information about such projects was not announced at that time. Only now the defense industry has considered it necessary to lift the veil of secrecy over the old and new electromagnetic projects.

On September 28, RIA "" published some statements by Vladimir Mikheev, adviser to the first deputy general director of the Radioelectronic Technologies concern, related to the development of fundamentally new weapons systems. A representative of a leading organization in his industry commented on numerous reports about the alleged existence of the Alabuga missile, the warhead of which is an electromagnetic pulse generator.

According to V. Mikheev, KRET specialists really worked on a program with the Alabuga code, but this name did not hide a specific type of weapon. The Alabuga program was implemented in 2011-12, and a whole range of scientific research was carried out within its framework. The purpose of these works was to study the prospects for electronic warfare. First of all, it was planned to determine the ways for the further development of such complexes.

The representative of the concern "Radioelectronic Technologies" said that in the past a serious theoretical assessment and practical testing was carried out, in which various laboratory models and specialized test sites were used. The main result of the Alabuga program was the definition of the range of electronic weapons and their impact on the equipment of a mock enemy.

Such an impact, as noted by V. Mikheev, can be different and differ in intensity. Depending on the principles of operation and systems used, a simple interference effect is possible with a temporary incapacitation of equipment, or its complete defeat. In the latter case, electronic damage should lead to energy and destructive damage to electronic components and circuits.

Having completed the research program with the Alabuga code, the industry classified all its results. At the same time, according to V. Mikheev, the topic of electromagnetic weapons fell into the category of critical technologies with the highest secrecy stamp. At the moment, one can speak openly only about the very fact of applying the existing theoretical developments in promising development work. In the future, the latter will be able to lead to the emergence of special bombs, missiles or projectiles equipped with so-called. explosive generators.

The latest statements by the official representative of the concern "Radioelectronic Technologies" have brought some clarity to the existing picture. Previously, information about the development of weapons based on an electromagnetic pulse has already appeared in open sources, but the main details of such work, for obvious reasons, were absent. As the latest official reports show, previous news and publications on this topic did not fully correspond to the real state of affairs.

Recall that the first reports of a promising project with the Alabuga code appeared several years ago. For example, in early October 2014, domestic media, referring to unnamed representatives of the Rostec state corporation, spoke about the existence of an electronic warfare complex that has certain differences from existing systems.

According to those data, the Alabuga project involved the construction of a missile equipped with a special warhead. Instead of a high-explosive or other warhead that has a mechanical effect on the target, it was proposed to use a powerful generator of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation. Working at a given point in space, such a generator was supposed to have a negative impact on the enemy's electronic systems. The result of this could be a disruption in communication and control, damage to navigation and guidance, etc. Systems could get the most serious damage and fail.

According to data three years ago, a new type of explosive magnetic generator of a rocket was supposed to work at an altitude of about 200-300 m, which made it possible to “cover” ground objects within a radius of 3.5 km with an electromagnetic pulse. As a result of such an attack, the communication and control systems were the first to fail. Damage to radar detection equipment and other electronics was also not ruled out. Left without the ability to monitor the situation, use modern weapons and coordinate joint work, enemy units on the battlefield would not be able to continue the battle and carry out their tasks.

As reported in the past, the main problem in the development of such weapons is the creation of a missile capable of delivering an electromagnetic pulse generator to a given point. So far, such equipment is characterized by large dimensions and weight, which leads to corresponding consequences. A large missile can be detected by enemy air or missile defenses.

By the beginning of October 2014, as the press wrote, the Alabuga system had passed field tests, after which the finalization of the project started. The aim of the new work was to improve the main characteristics of the explosive magnetic generator: the power of the pulse and the range of action.

Subsequently, the Alabuga project repeatedly became the subject of new publications, but all of them to some extent repeated the original messages. Any new details of a technical or other nature were not disclosed. The last time a new missile with an unusual warhead was mentioned was at the end of last summer, but this time too, all the new publications were actually a retelling of three-year-old materials.

Apparently, it was the latest wave of discussions about the Alabuga product that led to the long-awaited official comments. As it turned out, by the time the first reports about the rocket appeared, the research program had already been completed with the desired results in the form of a mass of necessary information. In addition, the research made it possible to begin the development of full-fledged models of advanced weapons, which in the future will be able to enter service and lead to an increase in the combat capability of the army.

It cannot be ruled out that the news of the fall of 2014 was nevertheless related to real events in the field of electromagnetic weapons, but was not fully accurate. Indeed, by that time KRET and other enterprises of the radio-electronic industry, having completed the research program, could begin the development of practically applicable samples. As for the name "Alabuga", originally used for research work, its use in the context of development work may be associated with some confusion.

Regardless of the exact course of events in the recent past, the veracity or fallacy of old press releases, and other factors, it is now known that the electromagnetic weapons program is moving forward. The official representative of the leading enterprise in the industry confirmed the fact that the design of such systems had begun. However, all work is carried out under the heading of secrecy, and therefore no details of interest to specialists and the public have yet been announced.

The latest reports from official sources allow us to look to the future with optimism. In our country, a fundamentally new weapon is being developed that can have a noticeable impact on the course of a hypothetical conflict. Reportedly, the new weapons will be created in the formats of rockets, bombs and artillery shells. Thus, ammunition with explosive magnetic generators as a warhead will be able to enter service with various branches of the armed forces, which will lead to a certain increase in their potential in combating the enemy.

It should be noted that officials have not yet specified the timing of the completion of ongoing projects. Apparently, development work based on the results of Alabuga started several years ago, and therefore can be completed in the very near future. Perhaps in the near future, the military and designers, without violating the existing secrecy regime, will talk about new successes in the development of a promising direction.
