Russian scientists developed unique generators of electromagnetic pulse. Academician Vladimir Fortov considers this invention to be a serious achievement. The whole lot of work performed under supervision of academician Gennadiy Mesyats allows creating generators emitting very short and high-power pulses. Peak capacity of such generator reaches billions of watts, - comparable to nuclear power plant capacity.
      
      Above-mentioned developments allow producing new radiolocators with greater range and resolution than existing ones. New generators can help to imitate noises from nuclear explosions or lightning strokes, which can be useful for testing durability of energy objects and systems.
      
      Data, obtained form the research, can also be the basis for electromagnetic weapon development.
