Update: supply ship, docking ring and manipulator arm. Enjoy, tovarisch!
One upon a time, after [Russian military space station "Almaz" (diamond)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almaz) but before deployment of the [Dead Hand nuclear missile defence system "Perimeter"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Hand_(nuclear_war)) there was first secret nuclear deterrence programme "Vjuga" (blizzard).
Silent eye in the sky, manned by long stay crew of two, this space station purpose was to listen and watch for nuclear explosions on the USSR territory and strike with six nuclear warheads of 500MT each.
Station completely relied on the visiting resupply craft to boost its orbit, as manoeuvring module was replaced by nuclear warheads tubes strapped to their third stage boosters. Eliminating long ascending trajectory, nukes could strike almost immediately rendering any missile defence system useless as long as station was unreachable on the high geosynchronous equatorial orbit (GEO).
