About this episode
Since 1963, it has been illegal under international law to place nuclear weapons in orbit. But the Soviets were brave enough to ask: "What is orbit, really?". This week, we're talking to Joe Kassabian ( @JoeKassabian ), host of the Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast, about OGCh or FOBS, the Soviet superweapon attempt to beat America's missile shield. And a whole lot of OKB politics. Follow Lions Led By Donkeys here! Support FTL on Patreon to unlock bonus content and Discord access Sources: 1.
