[amsat-bb] RS-15 launch cover for anti-satellite test?

Greetings,

This may be old news to some, but I came across an interesting article about a Soviet era anti-satellite test program called Naryad. It made a couple of sub-orbital test flights, and then supposedly was launched into a high orbit along with RS-15 on December 26, 1994.

RS-15 was deployed and a short time later the booster stage turned into many objects. (Object 94 085 B-V.)
