I highlighted the part I think we easily forget. The AFU's achievement is every bit as impressive as Finland's in 1940. And yes, I know Finland was forced to eventually sue for peace. Russia is not the Soviet Union and has been stymied at virtually every point by an adversary that is far smaller, but superior in practically every other way. Of necessity, Ukraine is a modern Sparta

Russian air defense can't protect them essentially militarized Cessnas. In fact, a 172 made it to Moscow at the height(?) of Soviet air defense in 1987!

Frank Eugene Corder did the same seven years later. Intoxicated, Corder died in his attempt, but he got his Cessna onto the White House grounds uncontested. I wonder how many other Cessnas have infiltrated civilian government compounds?

Giant Robot Submarine Threatens Russia’s Kerch Bridge And Ports
The Toloka 1000 carries a five-ton payload and is designed to attack 'large stationary targets', and it is not difficult to see which target the Ukrainian have in mind.www.forbes.com
The oil loading ports like St Petersburg would be better targets than the bridge although not as symbolic.
Although the port could possibly be quickly fixed if a couple of tankers were damaged or destroyed in the attack the oil smugglers crews would start looking for safer occupations.

I wonder how many drones have destroyed Russian assets ranging far and deep. I wonder how stuff thirty years ago is relevant to what is going on now. I wonder how Russian SAM assets are going to be forced to reposition as their air forces continue to probe NATO's eastern states and perhaps a plane or two gets shot down. I wonder how that might affect the actual war going on.
I wonder how stuff from three decades ago is relevant.

At first I could not understand why the Ukrainians were attacking in daylight and then it occurred to me that daylight attacks where thousands of round are used to not hit any of the Ukrainian drone boats has to demoralise the Russians in the town who now know their military are useless.
