It seems to me that imperial weapons system are not doing well in this war. Weapons that a Great Power uses to project power against a distant country whose population does not want to do as the the Power wants.

UK, a country with a long naval tradition, destroyed over 25 Russian warships using Ukrainians in Ukraine.

FTFY, I know it's easy to mix up the two when trying to generate engagement.
