Intelligence Analysis

Avramenko (RU)

Purpose: Russian Academician who defined plasmoid weapons (1995) Category: Technical Assessment This technical assessment synthesizes evidence about Avramenko (RU). It connects to 8 entities in the network, drawing from multiple source documents and research programs.

Key Relationships

  • → MARAUDER (1993) (assessment): Avramenko plasmoid (Russia, 1995) = same physics as MARAUDER (US, 1993). Both = compact toroidal plasma accelerated at target. Russia: phased array + microwave. US: coaxial plasma gun + Shiva Star. Same weapon, different engineering approach.
  • → Plasma Pareidolia (assessment): Avramenko (1995) → Stupitskiy (2019-2020): Russian plasma weapon program continued. Stupitskiy/IAP studying space-based plasma guns for anti-satellite use. References MARAUDER experiments. Avramenko = ground-based; Stupitskiy = space-based.
  • → Shiva Star Status (organisation): Avramenko's plasmoid weapon (Russia) and Shiva Star (US) are parallel programs. Both create compact toroidal plasma for weapons. Shiva Star hosted MARAUDER (1988-1993) then FRCHX (2007-2016). Russia had working tests by 1995.
  • → Friedman (Roswell) (assessment): Friedman was nuclear physicist who researched MHD (magnetohydrodynamic) propulsion. Avramenko's plasmoid weapon uses same plasma physics. Friedman's MHD research connects to plasmoid/orb weapon physics.
  • ← Avangard (assessment): Russian plasma weapons continuum: Avramenko (1995, ground plasmoid) → Avangard (2018, passive plasma stealth) → Stupitskiy (2019-2020, space plasma guns). Same plasma physics, different applications.
  • ← Belitsky (DTIC) (assessment): Belitsky described Avramenko's plasmoid weapon in Ogonek April 1995. Belitsky = Radio Moscow science correspondent. Avramenko = chief designer of plasmoid weapon. FBIS-translated DTIC document.
