Part 3/7:
This launch, which sparked concern among Western countries and observers, was part of a broader strategy. During a press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin referred to this missile as Russia's newest development. A rather loose interpretation of "new," as this claim could apply to any newly manufactured missile, akin to referring to every newborn as the youngest baby in the world.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, inadvertently underscored the well-planned nature of the spectacle when she received a call during a press conference instructing her not to comment on the so-called secret missile. This moment highlighted the coordinated effort involved in promoting the missile as a formidable threat to the West.
