Putin could've actually improved his country or invested these resources into things like medical or scientific advancements but no, that would be too hard for a pencil-pusher shoved out of sight in an office in the kgb.

As with every dictator, our bloody president probably riddled with fear.
I wonder how many minutes it took to pre-target that site with a Minuteman-3.
3 minutes…I mean it’s in the name
Oh look another wunderwaffe.
What a reckless and unnecessary weapon
The US had designs for similar weapons in the 50s.
And then we realized that if we could just level every city on the planet anyway, it doesn’t fucking matter if you have an infinite range, radiation spewing death machine.
But it’s subsonic? A big expensive slow missile which destroys your own reputation?
Subsonic cruise missiles are fresh meat for AA defenses.
The long-abandoned US version was supersonic.
Sounds like Russia wasting money for PR purposes.
Bet the chain of command stuffed all the funds to get it ready into their pockets, and it will pop up and detonate immediately if it even gets off the ground lol.
These idiots are using WWI troop tactics and WWI and II tech on the battlefield.
I'd lay good money on it blowing up and radiating Moscow.
I've seen crop circles with better geometric planning
