About this audio guide
This guide to the National Museum of Military History in Sofia leaves the halls for the outdoor park and one wheeled launcher among the tanks and jets. It follows a Cold War missile called the Oka, a secret transfer from Moscow to its allies in the mid-nineteen-eighties, and an arms treaty with Washington that was meant to settle the matter. Best heard standing beside the launcher itself.
