Russian Army to receive missiles with warheads based on new physical principles
Missiles with warheads based on new physical principles are being developed for the Russian Army, Chief of Missile Forces and Artillery Lieutenant-General Mikhail Matveyevsky said on Friday.
"As part of the efforts to improve missile armament, we’re carrying out work to create promising warheads, including multiple warhead systems, with independently targeted re-entry vehicles, and also with the destructive effect based on new physical principles," he said.
The general did not specify, however, the principle of the new destructive effect.
The definition "on new physical principles" is a notional term designed to underline that the weapon’s destructive factors are based on processes and phenomena earlier unused for military purposes. Such weapons include laser, electromagnetic, geophysical, radiological or genetic weapons.
