why would the Ukranians need permission from the Baltics/Finland to fly drones across 1400km of Russian territory?

Russians are trying to say the Ukrainian drones are overflying NATO countries to attack St Petersburg. Because, of course, if they flew over Russian territory they would have been shot down well before they got there

No, continue, by all means. It just looks like the mass casualty/mass extinction event of the Soviet armour stockpile that russian inherited is over. That’s a huge part of 70 years of the USSR’s (land forces) military production that Ukraine eradicated from this planet: I believe we just witnessed an event of historical proportions (one amongst many others).^
They are left with a very modest fleet that can only be used sparingly and barely replenished at current production rates: every single tank lost now is a real loss felt. So, your count is probably more important than before or than in the early stages of the war.

2/ Romanov notes how Ukraine is “systematically streamlining the path of technological developments to the front lines”:
“The [Ukrainian] government, at the recommendation of the Ministry of Defence, is launching a new model for purchasing innovative weapons for the army.”
3/ "The Ministry of Defence now has the authority to quickly procure innovative products through a simplified procedure, and combat units will test them and decide on their effectiveness.
Solutions proven in combat are eligible for inclusion in procurement requirements.
4/ “This shortens the path from development to deployment, which in turn allows for a more rapid response to frontline needs. This decision also facilitates the establishment of a systemic feedback loop between the military and developers.”
5/ How is Russia approaching the question of deploying new technology, asks Romanov? In a very traditionally Russian way:
"In our Ministry of Defence’s system, this method of supplying the Front is categorically unacceptable, since before doing so, it is necessary to:
6/ "- calculate and factor your own interest into the procurement cost;
-
convince the supplier that your interest should be taken into account;
-
prepare and provide a chain of your own front companies;
7/ "- cheat the supplier by arranging for the purchase of similar products from China with the affixing of the nameplates of your front companies.
8/ "I’m just reminding you once again that UPMI [the Directorate for Advanced Interspecific Research and Special Projects of the Russian Ministry of Defence], which is responsible for the procurement of high-tech products,…
9/ …is still headed by [Deputy Defence Minister Alexey] Krivoruchko, a man who worked under [the fired former Defence Minister Sergei] Shoigu’s highly effective team in some areas." /end
