"The Doctor’s discovery of the Osiran war missile—a weapon of cosmic disruption—symbolically mirrors Sutekh’s temporal and mental dominion, both representing unnatural control over reality."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Both the missile and Sutekh are cosmic forces bent on reshaping reality. The Doctor fails to stop the missile; Sutekh succeeds in reshaping the Doctor. This parallel underscores Sutekh as the true existential threat, something the Doctor only begins to fully grasp when Sutekh uses the TARDIS systems against him.
