41 hits out of 117 launches is a damned good ratio. It definitely shows a sleepy air-defense posture.
So let's consider two unfolding results perhaps arising from this:
1) Trucks are going to be stopped and searched. I don't know how widespread this will be, but I'm willing to bet that minor apparatchiks not having a taste for defenestration will be stopping big cargo trucks across much of the nation. It follows that there will be induced friction into the economy, probably not a lot, but more shortages and perhaps higher prices.
2) ... and more importantly, air-defense assets will now be spread thinner, and away from the front, in order to protect the remaining Russian bombers -- not to mention other assets not yet targeted but still equally vulnerable. No, I don't mean SAMs, but ZSUs and other gun-based methods.
