literally every refinery in central Russia has now been hit, most of them more than once.
A few days ago, they hit the refinery in St.
Petersburg on the day that Putin was opening an important economic conference in St.
Petersburg.
And you could see people walking into the building with kind of billows of black smoke in the background, which it's pretty extraordinary.
I mean, the
something burning in St.
Petersburg as the leaders of the country are there, as if there was a big economic conference in Washington, D.C., and somebody exploded.
Not that we have any oil refineries in Washington, but if there were someone exploding one while they were there and everybody somehow going on as if that were normal.
So they have this ability to hit longer-range things.
They have the ability to see the front line, and they also now increasingly have the ability to hit the supply routes
into the flotting range while making it much harder for the Russians to supply and resupply their troops.
And all of that has...
has turned the tide not just of the war, but of perceptions of the war.
You know, there's been this kind of automatic assumption since the war began.
And you actually, you alluded to it in one of your previous questions.
You know, the bigger country would defeat the smaller country sooner or later.
And us helping Ukraine was just a matter of staving it off.
Instead, what's happened is the Ukrainians have
revolutionarily changed the drone industry.
