Is it hopium or does something seem to have flipped. Im not saying the tides are turning but Russia seems especially vulnerable right now.
The War in Ukraine

Hitting a missile corvette on the inland waterways 500km north of Moscow is quite an “up yours!” demonstration of deep strike capabilities. I wonder what they got it with?

Lookit how far it is from UKR to this place (heart to red marker - scale on bottom right) - someone's trying belt and suspenders for protection.
Russia puts drone nets on fuel tanks at faraway Arctic nuclear test site
The rapid development of long-distance war drones has scared Russia into installing protection nets much further away from the front line than any drone has reached so far. The nuclear test site at Novaya Zemlya is more than 2,500 kilometres north of Ukraine.

I'm liking this new trend. Russia strikes a Ukrainian power plant, Ukraine responds in kind.
Edit: In fact there is a new video from Anders Puck Nielsen outlining this emerging strategy now that Ukraine has the means (and domestic production) to do so.

One thing I think he is getting wrong is the Ukrainian interest in the Tomahawk. I think it is more of a "Canadian" exercise. Zelensky wants to carry an American standard with him into this next campaign.
According to available OSInt Flamingo's 1000 kg warhead is 2x that of Tomahawk's 450 kgs.
Flamingo apparently flies 3000 km while Tomahawk is closer to half of that, about 1500 km.
But more importantly the US has contracted for 56 new Tomahawks in 2026.
Ukraine is building 50 Flamingoes a month. And pushing for 200 a month by January. What the US could supply in a year Ukraine could supply in a week.
Bigger warhead.
Longer range.
Produced faster.
And produced locally with Ukrainian labour, materials and money in Ukrainian facilities. It boosts national GDP. It doesn't require spending money overseas.
It is sustainable.
Assuming they can protect their factories.

Guidance. Tomahawk allows strikes a lot more precise if you are trying to hit something specific or something in a very specific place.

So if you want to flatten the Kremlin send Flamingos.
If you want to fly through Vlad's window while one of his doubles is having tea, send a Tomahawk?
