I would not have believed it, but now looking like Ukraine could win it's war against Russia: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/10/07/drones-target-oil-refinery-in-western-siberias-tyumen-region-in-what-may-be-ukraines-farthest-strike-yet-a90743 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/10/07/drones-target-oil-...
"Win" here doesn't mean military victory over Russia. It means Ukraine's slow destruction of of Russia's oil and gas infrastructure and the West's sanctions make it too expensive for Russia to continue, so they withdraw from Ukraine and Crimea.
What a difference just 4 years the accelerated pace of technological development makes that happens in war makes. 4 years ago, Ukraine would have ended without the influx of Western weapons. Now the West looks at the Ukrainian battle fields, and ponders the relevance of their weapons against a $10k drone, made in Ukraine.
