We discuss the results of the experiments registering different types of radiation of thunderstorm clouds at Tian Shan High-Altitude Scientific Station of the Physical Institute of the Academy of Sciences. A series of events was found, in which spatial correlation of short gamma-quantum bursts (10–250 keV) and radio-frequency emission (0.1–30 MHz) with the passage of thunderstorm clouds over the facility is observed, as well as temporal correlation of the bursts of this radiation with lightning discharges and the passage of extensive atmospheric showers. One can assume that the observed bursts of gamma radiation are experimental proof of the realization of the runaway-electron breakdown effect.
