Russia has had FOBS systems in play since the SS-18 went online. This is designed as an anti-sat/EMP weapon. What most don't realize is that any Teller-Ulam thermonuclear detonated as a high atmospheric airburst will have this effect. This is not new, nor is it terrifying.

At the height of the cold war there were countless joint space missions for gods sake. Many russians still see space as the ultimate frontier and the pride of their nation for their early achievements in space flight.
