"Instead of RDX was used in the gun stuff is much higher density. It explodes with a plasma initiation - special discharge. Due to its high density and higher velocity of detonation of conventional explosives, and through the use of plasma in addition to the kinetic energy of the projectile on the effects of electromagnetic pulse ", - he told the publication.

Experimental artillery systems developed at the Central Research Institute "Petrel" on the basis of a reinforced double-barreled 152-mm self-propelled artillery 2S35 "Coalition-SV". According to the source of the newspaper, the tests were scientific in nature, and are now discussing the possibility of completion tools for use in the armed forces.

The Russian Defense Ministry "Izvestia" explained that now is being created several types of weapons based on new physical principles, but the creation of the Office termoelektrohimicheskogo guns did not order.
