Putin is channeling his inner Kim Jong-un:
www.reuters.com
Putin says it has no analogs and won't have any for the foreseeable future. I would put money on it that while the US might not have something similar, it has something better. You don't throw the kind of money at the industrial defense complex that the US does and not have some truly incredible stuff.
I also doubt that it can fully evade defense systems since Russia likely doesn't even know what sort of missile defense systems countries in the West have. Sure, they know about the known ones, but there's no way there isn't a bunch of top-secret stuff.
Still, there's no real reason for anyone to be worried considering they won't actually start delivering the missiles until the autumn. This is assuming that Russia still exists in its current form by then, has enough money to buy the resources for the weapons, and that Putin's regime is still alive.
Russia tests nuclear-capable missile that Putin calls world's best
In a show of strength two months into its assault on Ukraine, Russia test-launched a new nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile which President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday would make Moscow's enemies stop and think.

Also, it changes nothing when Russia already had thousands of nuclear weapons. Whatever outcome they wanted to achieve with this new weapon could be achieved with what they already have to hand. It's pure propaganda - it makes them look tough to laymen in Russia and elsewhere, but it does nearly nothing to enhance their capability beyond adding to an already enormous stockpile.Putin is channeling his inner Kim Jong-un:

The missile defence problem is hard and it's one that the attacker wins in the long term. It's too cheap and easy to lob dummies with the occasional live warhead, yet the defence has to treat every incoming as if it's real and try to intercept them all. On the plus side, NATO has such an economic advantage over Russia that they probably can hold up a decent defence against missiles for quite a long time as long as Russia doesn't just go full MAD.

I saw some complaints against the decision to exclude Russian and Belarusian players from Wimbledon.
To paraphrase it:
“It’s not fair that the war our country started has consequences for us. We should have the right to continue with our lives happily as if nothing happened while our forces murder and torture and plunder innocent people across the border.”

Russia has fined Google 4 million roubles (£38,000 / $50,000) for failing to delete what it terms “fake” information about what it calls its special military operation in Ukraine.

That was weird. Maybe not "Jim Eagle" weird, but weird nonetheless.

The way he's sitting, I wonder if you may have gotten that wish.

Lasagna? He’s British - you say tomato, he says potato. He’s eating hash and drinking something brown.
They park 5th Gen fighters in the grass. This is posturing, no more no less.Putin is channeling his inner Kim Jong-un:

He was giving lasagne recipe tips on another thread. I appreciate you wouldn't know that unless you saw the post.
@Famine does it low and slow. And yes I'm still talking about lasagne...
Moving on topic, even bbc was quoting a piece about food prices going up 37% and world hunger due to the loss of wheat etc from Russia and Ukraine this morning.
As tangential as it is, more people could die in Africa and other places than die in Ukraine because of this bloody "special operation" organised by Mr Putin 👎

Apparently/Allegedly a US Navy P-8 Poseidon plane gave targeting information to the Ukrainian Neptune cruise missile to sink the Moskva.
I would guess that Russia, at this juncture, will probably be best served by doing this with this information:
It was definitely a fire. Yep, for sure it was a fire.
