A. ; Atoian, A. M. Abstract A model of pulsed very high energy and ultrahigh energy gamma-radiation from X-ray binaries is proposed, which implies that the gamma-rays are due to the bombardment of a cloud ejected from the companion normal star by the relativistic proton beam stationarily accelerated by the pulsar. In the framework of this model all the peculiarities of the gamma-radiation observed from the X-ray binary Hercules X-1/HZ Herculis are naturally explained. The expected gamma-ray spectra in a wide energy range of E = 100 McV - 1 PeV, as well as the possibilities of experimental verification of the model proposed, are discussed.
