As woelkchen already wrote, but here are the key parts:

But Ukraine has no real reason to be building Scalp (“Storm Shadow”), which has to be launched from a fighter jet and only has 150-odd miles of range. To give just one example, the much bigger Ukrainian-made Flamingo FP-5 is conveniently ground launched, carries a warhead three times as heavy and has a range of almost 1,900 miles. Ukraine was reportedly producing seven Flamingos a day as of last year, and plans were in hand to scale this up massively.

That's already a massively higher production rate than was expected in the beginning of the year.

Why all the fanfare? Why are heads of state ceremoniously handing each other “blueprints” in front of the world’s media?

Specifically this time, what everyone is thinking of is US Patriot interceptor missiles.

As we expected, so there you are, that's the significant points behind the headline.

Ah OK the removepaywall actually works today. It must have been overloaded yesterday. 👍

With a properly configured web browser (see rule 6) all paywalls from The Telegraph can be circumvented.

Just checked and enabled the filters for cookie notices, social widgets and annoyances.
And it seems to work.
Thanks for the tips. 👍 😎

I have µblock-origin and open in private window, so the cookie thing shouldn't matter.
So IDK what part I'm missing?

So IDK what part I’m missing?

I have literally all "Annoyances" filters and that paywall filter set enabled.

All I can tell you is that without those I get paywalls and with everything enabled I don't get any.

OK I'll have another look. but the link you provided also worked, it was just apparently overloaded at the time? So I got weird error messages, where today it works fine.
