If the Ukranian advances can drain or hollow out the Russian forces while losing less themselves because of high vehicle survivability we might see some kind of collapse in the Russian line.

Där jag jobbar skulle det aldrig accepteras att jag skulle sitta och vara småmysig och ”flexa” att jag känner en makthavare för att ”lyfta” mitt varumärke. Varken i text, ljud eller bild.
Den stora majoriteten av mina läsare är inte heller ”du” med makthavaren.

The significant shift that is happening, for sure, is that Ukrainian domestic production of both naval and aerial long range strike capability is developing to a point where the use of it can have material impact to the outcome. Keyword here is domestic: technically these capabilities existed before, but their use like this wasn't politically available.

Yom Kippur war. Soviet-Afghan war. PLA. IEDs against US military in all the Middle East conflicts. IRA. There is no qualitative shift. Perhaps a quantitative one, but even that is dubious. This is just the nature of asymmetric war and the development of technology during conflict.

I understand that's what you're saying. I'm saying that has always been a feature of war. Small and comparatively weaker forces have, since the beginning of history, used raids to this effect against superior adversaries.

The American Revolutionaries tried to use a submarine to sink British ships 250 years ago. In a similar situation today they would have a much better chance.

That's an interpretation, for sure. I would pick the far simpler one, though: with the ability for long range strikes developing, Ukraine is using them to try and make occupation of Crimea untenable even before the land war reaches Azov Sea. Meanwhile, they're also using the long range strike capability to russian territory to create political pressure against putin. I see no reason to doubt their stated objective of liberating all occupied territories.

Then Ukrainan command can pivot to any particular version of this strategy as events unfold.

Yes, the arrogance of those who think the UK market is important enough to drive versioning are going to be disappointed.
I always think we've been led astray by the willingness of motor manufacturers to put the driver wheel on our side.... forgetting that as Japan shared the standard, for them it was easy their expanding market share.

Note among previous targets there were Chongar bridge, Crimea bridge, Dzhankoi railway hub. Ukraine seems to be consistently executing a plan, in this case severing Russian logistics for the southern group. The ships were a logical replacement for these bridges and now they aren't :)

So these attacks could be seen as Ukraine trying to carry out this kind of pressure even without having advanced much.

Denial typically is easier than control in any domain, because control requires ability to prevent any disruptive action. Even in the land war, which favors the defender, if success is measured by ability to perform strikes, no minefield or trench line can control artillery.

Ukraine has no Navy as of today, while they do have an Air Force. That means the comparison isn't particularly apt - for a nation with no Navy, Ukraine is having a lot of success sinking or disabling high value naval targets.

Unfortunately it implies a tendency towards stalemate, unless Russia experiences a political collapse.
