Created by Carlton Cuse, Graham Roland, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan 3 has a star cast including John Krasinski, Wendell Pierce, Michael Kelly, Nina Hoss, Betty Gabriel, Michael Pena, and more in pivotal roles. Jack Ryan 3 storyline potentially supersedes its previous 2 seasons and John Krasinski who is playing the title role is one of the biggest challenges of his life. In fact, Jack Ryan is on his mission to spot a potential full-fledged war between USA and Russia. The 8 episodes series keep the fans binding with its storyline and leave them with one simple question what is a crossbow and how are the hardline Russians or let's say a faction group led by newly appointed defense minister Alexi Petrov using it to start a war and overthrow the President of Russia.
To understand what is crossbow and how is it related to the Sokol Project in Jack Ryan Season 3, we first need to understand its storyline
What is Crossbow?
Considering fans have watched Jack Ryan Season 3, let's move straight to the point. While uncovering the secrets of the Sokol project, Jack Ryan discovers that it is not being controlled by the Russian government. Rather, a group of people led by the new Russian defense minister, the Czech President’s father, and the security chief, who want to bring back the days of the Soviet Union, have embarked on this mission by themselves. They want to create conflict in the area because it will push countries, especially their own, to go to war and reclaim their lost glory. But that’s not where the plan stops.

The hardline Russian group is not pleased with the current leadership and therefore under Petr Kovac they plan it out a political coup in the backdrop of war-like situation and hence name the entire mission 'Crossbow'. They know that the current President has a lot of loyalists, which is why they begin by removing these people from their posts. It is in keeping with this plan that they kill Defense Minister Dmitry Popov. They make it look like the assassination was carried out by the Americans to create more grounds for political strife. In place of Popov, Alexei Petrov is assigned as the new Defense Minister. But, he is one of the key players in the Sokol project. Knowing that Russian President Surikov will never agree to start a war, Petrov is slowly and steadily placed in a situation where he not only gets to make important decisions without being questioned on every step but is also given enough influence to carry out the coup. In the final episode, with the Fearless on its way to start the war, Petrov seizes the opportunity to turn the cabinet against Surikov and takes over control of the government. What happened next is what you call the climax. To know the ending and how Jack Ryan's intel proved once again to be vital, True Scoop urges its readers to watch the spy-thriller on Prime Video.
