What Does Putin Mean by Weapons Based on ‘New Physical Principles’?
Russia last proved its penchant for innovation in breakthrough weapons designs in 2018, unveiling a series of cutting-edge strategic systems. Fast-forward five years, and the Russian president has again mentioned work on mysterious new arms based on “new physical principles.” Sputnik turned to top Russian and US military experts for comment.
Russia’s defense sector is working on state-of-the-art weapons based on “new physical principles,” President Vladimir Putin has revealed.
“If one looks into the security sphere, weapons based on new physical principles will ensure the security of any country in the near historical perspective. We understand this very well and are working on it,” Putin said in a wide-ranging speech at the Eastern Economic Forum on Tuesday.
Putin did not elaborate, leaving media and military observers scrambling in a search for more information.
This caught my attention immediately because “new physical principles” strongly hinted at new discoveries in plasma physics, some of which have the potential to transform civilization, for good or for ill, in much the same way nuclear physics did in the last century. These scientific ideas are topics I usually post about at electrogenesis, but here the topic is more geopolitical than scientific; I don’t know enough to even speculate how the principles could be applied as a weapon technology but I am certain that they could be.
What Types of Weapons Based on New Physical Principles is Russia Working on?
Russia’s military, the state, and military-affiliated research institutes have been mostly tight-lipped about the types of weapons based on new physical principles the country is developing, but have nevertheless dropped hints about their priorities and concerns.
Veteran Russian military observer Viktor Murakhovsky told Sputnik that President Putin’s comments on weapons based on "new physical principles" are most likely a reference to lasers and other high-energy physics-based weapons.
Flash forward to the present and if this report is correct, it appears that a new weapon has been tested twice by Russia in the Ukraine conflict, each time leaving a very distinctive destructive footprint, something the Russian military are calling Torsion Plasma Complex Zeus.
