No, it's not real (as far as I know), but imagine if the Soviets developed

their own Orion nuclear-pulse spacecraft and used it for war:

Description of the Web site made by Rhys Taylor:
 
An alternative history universe in which Project Orion went ahead in the 1960's more or less as planned. However, it's now know that the Russians also had there own version of the project. Naturally, the launch of an Orion means the cold war continues. In this scenario, two fleets of super-Orion class battleships (~1 million tonnes each) engage near Callisto. The aim is for a pretty high level of realism. People complain about visible lasers and 
sound effects. These people are fools.
