Fractional Orbital Bombardment System The Fractional Orbital Bombardment System ( FOBS ) was a Soviet ICBM program in the 1960s that after launch would go into a low Earth orbit and would then de - orbit for an attack . It had no range limit and the orbital flight path would not reveal the target location . This would allow a path to North America over the South Pole , hitting targets from the south , which is the opposite direction from which NORAD early warning systems are oriented . The Outer Space Treaty banned nuclear weapons in Earth orbit . However , it did not ban systems that were capable of placing weapons in orbit , and the Soviet Union avoided violating the treaty by conducting tests of its FOBS system without live warheads . The Soviets developed three missiles to employ FOBS , with only one entering service : The U . S . Defense Support Program early warning satellites , first launched in 1970 , enabled the US to detect a FOBS launch . The SALT II agreement ( 1979 ) prohibited the deployment of FOBS systems : The missile was phased out in January 1983 in compliance with this treaty .
