Unlike the Germans who want to look and sound like they are helping but doing it so slowly so as not to get their gas turned off. They donate an artillery missile battery but only give 200 rounds with it. Not worth the Ukrainians training up crews for it.

I suspect much of the strategic targeting data for command posts, supply depots and so on that the Ukrainian are hitting quite regularly is thanks to US sharing top notch satellite info. And we are gearing up ammunition production which you don't hear anyone else doing. Short of RU going nuclear, the winner here will be the side with deep logistics that work.
