: The Russians will hit the NATO satellite group hovering over the country It is possible to hint to the United States about the seriousness of our intentions by blinding their grouping of satellites hovering over Russia. In such a case, there are combat laser systems "Peresvet". This is the same "weapon based on new physical principles" that Vladimir Putin spoke about last fall on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum. Very little is known about the Peresvet laser complexes that have already been put on combat duty. Its development was carried out by specialists of the nuclear center in Sarov. In 2022, at that time, Deputy Prime Minister and now Director General of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov said the main thing:
Peresvet is capable of blinding all satellite reconnaissance systems of a likely enemy in orbits up to one and a half thousand kilometers.
Not much is known about another laser complex "Badass", designed to destroy enemy drones, or even space satellites. Borisov mentioned it in the context of a conversation about unique developments.
Most likely, the basis of the new weapon will be explosive magnetic generators, which allow the formation of powerful streams of electromagnetic radiation. At the moment, employees of the RFNC-VNIIEF have created the only device in the world capable of generating magnetic energy densities at the level of 3 MJ /cubic cm, which is 400 times higher than the density of chemical energy of an explosive,
