### Cold War and Project Излучающий Влад

In 1985, USSR and the USA were still in state of arms race, this also included nuclear weapons. Soviets were loosing at the time, so they created a project called Излучающий Влад (eng. Radiating Vlad). Its goal was to create electromagnetic accelerator capable of firing nuclear warheads for long distances. Several scientists from Poland were tasked to work on this project. However due to lack of technology and funds, after 2 years of constant development Project was scrapped and every data regarding it was destroyed, except for people who worked on it. Researchers who once worked on Radiating Vlad now created secret organization (then a company) called PaluTech. At first it was tasked in finishing the project, not for Soviets, but for Polish people. In 2000 - 15years of development, first prototype is created, this time without nuclear ammunition but only depleted uranium rails. First test was conducted year later, with very positive outcome. Thanks to investments made by foreign companies PaluTech now with more funds was able to expand, hire new employees and increase its ability to work on more projects. Currently by 2022, PaluTech is a leading company producing mass drivers/or railguns and other kind of energy weapons. Since 2015, PaluTech is in partnership with Sairkouru Ruiko and R.E.F.K.A where PaluTech supplies REFKA with new high-tech weapons. Current CEO of PaluTech is - **Michaił Palkiewicz**.
