The spy drama “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” on Amazon Video follows the exploits of the title character as he attempts to defend the world—or at least a portion of it—against various dangers. In the third season, we find him in Rome, where he embarks on a search for the mystery that might upend his entire worldview after learning of a dormant Soviet project.

Jack learns that someone is attempting to finish the work begun before the Soviet Union’s breakup and restart this old undertaking. Sokol is the name of the project. We can answer your question about whether the project was based on actual events.

Is Sokol Project 1969 a Real Project?

In the book “Jack Ryan,” the Sokol Project is about making a nuclear missile that can fly without being seen. The goal is to make it almost impossible to find, so it can’t be tracked. In 1969, the project is given up because the scientists wanted more time. A group of Russians who want to bring back the glory days of the Soviet Union want to bring this project back to life now, many years later.

Since military projects like Sokol are highly secret and closely guarded, it’s hard to tell if one is or was being worked on in Russia or any other country. But since this kind of technology would have helped win wars, it’s possible that something like the Sokol project was already in the works.

When you look at recent changes to missile systems, you can see that the Russian government has been working on something similar. The Sokol Eshelon system is something that Russia is known to have made. This project can be traced back to the 1980s, but it was put on hold at that time. It was brought back to life in the early 2010s with the goal of being able to “blind satellite sensors in all types of orbits.”

A test that was done in 2009 was said to show that the project had “some promise.” Sokol Eshelon is an anti-missile system, but Russia also has hypersonic weapons that can fly under the radar. One of these weapons is the 3M22 Zircon. It is said that it can go as fast as Mach 6, which is very fast.

It is also said to have a “low atmospheric-ballistic trajectory,” which makes it hard for a normal anti-missile defense system to find it. In the war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia said that it had used its hypersonic aeroballistic missiles “to destroy some key pockets of Ukraine.”

With all of this in mind, it seems likely that the people who made “Jack Ryan” relied on their research to lay the groundwork for a weapon that might have seemed hard to make in the 1960s and 1970s but is not so hard to make now with the technology we have.

So, even though the Sokol Project is made up, its goal and reasoning are based on real things.

What Was the Main Goal Behind the Sokol Project?

Levan Zubkov was giving Petrov and Petr uranium so that they could make a nuclear bomb at Matoksa. The same bomb is sent to the small town of Nymburk in a NATO convoy. The original plan was for it to go off in Nymburk, making it look like it all happened by accident. So, Russia could blame the United States.

Jack Ryan stops the nuclear bomb from getting to the town by setting it off in a tunnel. At the end of the third season, Luca confronts Alexei and gets him to admit that he helped kill Popov. President Surikov hears the recording.

He doesn’t wait long before giving the order to kill Alexei. After that, even Jack and Luca are able to keep the Russian and American warships from fighting each other.
