Analyst Urges Russia to Use Electromagnetic Superweapon

Russian analyst Yuri Baranchik argues that high-power electromagnetic weapons could ‘switch off NATO’ and justify using new-physics arms against Europe.

Russian military analyst Yuri Baranchik argues that Britain, France and Germany are now using Ukraine as a proxy force in a confrontation with Russia.

He claims that the countries of the so-called collective West are actively preparing for a large-scale clash with Moscow that, in his view, could break out within the next three to four years. In this context, Baranchik maintains that Russia is entitled to bring into play its entire arsenal of weapons, including systems built on new physical principles.

Referring to the damage inflicted on the power grid in Karaganda Region during what he calls «Test No. 184», Baranchik points to it as evidence that such weapons could have a radius of action of about 1,500–2,000 kilometers, directly dependent on their yield. He believes that high-power electromagnetic weapons could become a decisive tool in securing victory. According to him, Western governments are seriously worried that a super-electromagnetic pulse might instantly «switch off NATO’s breaker».

Baranchik explains that the detonation of a nuclear charge at high altitude above, for example, Belgium or Denmark would disable electronic components across an area with a radius of at least one thousand kilometers. This, he says, would hit modern weapons systems, reconnaissance satellites and civilian infrastructure alike. Even without a blast wave or radioactive contamination in the usual sense, he insists that the aftermath of using such a weapon would still be on a massive, system-wide scale.
