For a long time, all the press reports sounded negative. Now I’m seeing more stuff like this. Is it real or wishful thinking?

Behind paywall,  but thanks

Sorry for the faux pas.  I would gift the article, but I don't subscribe either.  I just got a glimpse of the article and was sharing it to illustrate a point about the tenor of the headline.

Thanks, makes sense.

I just read an article where some small NATO country whose name I can't recall, sponsored something like a crowd funded long range cruise missile for Ukraine and achieved its goal in  days and the first of those missles, in theory equipped with hardened GPS guidance, at least 1,000 lb warhead and a 3,000 Km range has already been fired. Apparently a lot of the stuff having to do with that weapon is being produced in other NATO countries.
If true, a weapon like that might make life for Putin very difficult. He has been forced to call reserves to active duty to help stop drone attackes, this would seem to further attenuate other economic growth.
As was once said "it ain't over until its over"
Also interesting to note that refineries in more Russian friendly states like Hungary have had "accidents".
