One of the problems with focusing on enemy cruise missiles flying over your head is the tendency to zoom in too closely on minute details of a specific section of the war map, an impact area, hopefully, where you are not physically present. This distracts you from the big picture, which shows how little the forward lines of own troops (FLOTs) have have changed in the past month — mostly not in Russia’s favor.
